Winter, go away!!!

[Tail_Gunner]

After enduring a blizzard/ storm that lasted for over 5 days last week and dumped over 5' of snow in areas in the U.P., we are again under another winter storm warning. Here it is April 12 and the snow is still falling instead of melting. I'm supposed to be getting my camper out of storage in 9 days. But I'm doubting that will happen, since the building it is inside of, is surrounded by 2'+ of snow.

close call yesterday

Our truck will be one year old this April 28th, 2007. So far it has not seen a rain drop, but came very close yesterday . Ten minutes after getting home, it rained.
I hear that if you leave a F350 in the rain it turns into a F250.....

Kent, have you been reading those old Calvin and Hobbes books? I like that snowman! I always wanted to duplicate one of Calvin's scenes.

We're getting yet another round here too. Just started coming down within the last hour. Supposed to get about a foot.

Actually, the puking snowman was an "unofficial" entry in the MI Tech University Winter Carnaval Snow Sculpture contest a couple years ago. Most of the snow sculptures were just a tad more "complicated".

Nope, Mine has always been in the rain. So far it has GROWN from a F250 SRW to a F350 DRW. Soon it will have grown some new '08 mirrors.

I think no rain will make your truck SHRINK

I guess then Kent's truck must be an F550 by now, and mine will be a F150 by next year.

Just answering the questions all 3 of my kids kept asking when they were teenagers: "Why can't I stay out past midnight? What's up Dad's butt?"

I can't take credit for the snow man, it was in the front yard of some frat house in Houghton near MTU. I just took the picture of it.

As far as the oxygen mask is concerned, going to 25,000 feet in the altitude chamber is fun. You get to take the O2 mask off and get all giddy and goofy. Then you put the mask back on, watch everything change colors.
