Hey hosers.

We got snow. We're still actually getting snow. Not a lot, but there is technically still white stuff falling from the sky. We had a delayed opening. Whatevs, I have snow tires.

STILL no propane
But not enough people showed up to track up the 6 aisles I did make look great.
I did have to take down the Marquee.
She wanted me to put up a new set.
But the letters were frozen in the tracks.
There is no way new letters will go up there until the temp gets above 32 for a bit.
The bank where I usually get boxes was closed for the freeze. So I got a box from our bank. Was happy to find out they weren't a whole box of 2017 or such.
I have on thermal pants under my jeans.
A flannel shirt over a t. And I have a space heater running trying to get warm.
Didn't used to get this way.
Ain't getting old a wonderful experience?

Everything is shut down here. And why not? We received an inch and 3/4" of snowfall!

I've got a beast of a snowblower with an 11hp Tecumseh motor. It vibrates a lot. So when you do your fall checkout, make sure all the bolts are tight. I didn't. The starter motor bolts loosened and the brackets on the starter motor case broke off. An unnecessary repair.

Gary has an assignment for tonight and he is busily updating all the firmware on his cameras and lenses. It has been awhile.

On the subject of cameras...
My phone somehow took a perfect hit.
The forward facing camera has a broken lens and will no longer focus.
So until I get a DSLR or at least a computer you'll see no further pics from me.

We got snow this morning. Did not keep me from my hour long walk though our city. The sculptures on the University campus in the city were all soaking wet black in the near dark light under curtains of flakes, sprankled with white dots. Magical. No camera on me though.

Checking in from between Pittsburgh and Youngstown. We had a dusting and slid on ice exiting the parking lot.

Eek! Parking lots can be treacherous since they don't get the attention that the main roads do. Stay safe, Charlie!

All interstates until we get to Michigan; everything’s looking good.

Start a GoFundMe page to get them an electric LED marquee. Sucks about your phone.

My phones screen is all cracked too.
But it still works as good as it ever did.
I got no idea how to do Go-fund-me.
Don't do Twitter or Instagram. Gotta have at least $150 more saved to even think of a computer or a trip to Houston Camera Exchange. Life is just swell.
