upgraded this mornin to blizzard
 

for the cape

Well, we have food in the house, plenty of firewood, some wine, gas in the cars, and nowhere special to go tomorrow or Monday. And a neighborhood full of kids, and hopefully one or two who would like to make a fast 20 for shoveling ;)

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow :bl:

I don't know about where your new house is but in my neighborhoods , kids apparently don't shovel or mow lawns anymore. They all drive nicer cars than me and I never even see them cutting their own lawns , mush less hustling around to make some money.

Anyway , I
m preparing the same way. plenty of everything in the house by shopping today and if its bad , I'll stay home and watch John Wayne reruns tomorrow! :)

I got kindling and firewood...plenty of food...a good book............and a wife who is mad at me:uhoh:
I hope it goes by fast so I can go back to work on Monday

:bgi: Poor Slingah....told you you should have gone to PlugFest today to get out for a few hours....now you are stuck in all weekend!:uhoh:

I have to be in Nashua by 10 am tomorrow; I'll be in the belly of the beast. Gonna leave here about 7:45, that'll give me time enough to go 20 mph if I need to.
Got a full tank in the Avalanche and gonna get a good night sleep.
Plan is to run the restaurant with 1 bartender, two waistaff, and nobody in the kitchen (including dishwashers!!!0.
Just spent like two hours in local gracery stores...you'd think is was Armageddon tomorrow!
Oh well, later.
