the clouds went every which way, and there was all types of them...

I know, i know, but I had to try.. it was breathtaking!

What a beautiful day it was yesterday

the sun was trying to come out, the white snow was still white, but brighter when sun broke through, and then with the approaching storm, the sky was various blues... and sometimes it was totally blinding and AWESOME!

Hummm.....

I HATE MY JOB SOME DAYS!!!!!!

I HATE MY JOB SOME DAYS!!!!!!

When you have a "I hate My Job" day, try this. On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson. Be very sure you get this brand.
When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed. Change into very comfortable clothing and sit in your favorite chair.

Open the package and remove the thermometer. Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so that it will not become chipped or broken. Now the fun part begins. Take out the literature and read it carefully. You will notice that in small print there is a statement, "Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson is personally tested".

Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times, "I am so glad I do not work in the Thermometer quality control at Johnson & Johnson."

HAVE A NICE DAY AND REMEMBER, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE WITH A JOB THAT IS MORE OF A PAIN IN THE BUTT THAN YOURS!

oh my goodness!!!!!!!!

My friend Patsy Berry sent me this note this am...

New Telephone Greeting:

Wouldn't it be pretty amazing, if this caught on, all over the country...?

"GOOD MORNING, WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES"

"Press "1" if you speak English."

"Press '2' to disconnect until you can.

Hum....

YES!!! he was moving.. and so was the 'board'...

Grandpa's have to tell it all.. haha.. we did have a few of these too....

Where we started out... and how..

he really could ride the thing standing up... and go a long ways..

The SMILE says it all....

Sometimes it got the better of Austyn... but he had a ball...

Look out below

Austyn Sledding this am....

the first time we have had any thing go by our home to work on the roads...

oh boy oh boy, help is on the way, thank goodness... there is a sheet of ice on our road and there have been lots of severe problems due to lack of attention from our wonderful county commissioner. We begin to wonder if anyone was elected last go round... but then this marvelous wonderful county maintainer was coming to the rescue of all who use this dangerous stretch of road... Can't wait to see how great the road looks after he passes by... I am sure it will make a huge difference!!!

Talk about 'lack of common sense' - look at the blade on this maintainer... sigh... this is why I supported Bob Priess for Commissioner...

This person ought to be fired and now, and the county commissioner who hired him needs to be impeached for hiring such incompetent employees. Can you belive moving a piece of equipment down a road in the shape of ours and not having the blade on the road (sigh, it is about a foot above it as photo shows!) and not even trying to do something with it...
