Looks like we're getting our first actual snowfall for the year. I just can't seem to pull myself away from the DS to go wrench on my old truck!

A second snow day for me! Wahoo... I'm spending it sitting by the fire cleaning my guns. :) I hope everyone has a great day, too. Lisa

We might be enjoying one of those days tomorrow! I am going to give my hard cider a taste this weekend to see if it's ready, it's been racked for two weeks so far.

Nice looking fire. :D Can almost feel the warmth. I found a supplier that had 50# bags of nut so we will see if I can get a decent fire going in the fire place.

I'm not so lucky to enjoy a winter storm by the fire, I'm the guy who plows your driveways shut. :P Anyway my friends enjoy a warm coal fire while I plow the roads open for the people who need the black liquid to stay warm.. hahaha

Haha, yeah I have already seen a few oil trucks go up and down my street today. I wonder if I can sell the remainder of my oil back from last year :D ? I will probably get a little overtime in tomorrow at work. Stay safe today everyone.

Snow day in Maine. Is this share snow pictures day? The storm is just cranking up here..... we have 6 or 8 inches in the last 5 or 6 hours.....looking to get another 8 or 10!

I partially snow blowed the front driveway.....sister in law came over to tend the goats.

Maine dogs shy away from warm coal stoves. ;)

The Govnah o'Maine suspended the D.O.T. regulations for oil delivery trucks so they can stay on the roads longer and make more deliveries to folks that can't afford to heat their homes as it is and the more overtime pay will surely keep the price down! :roll: Have a safe day Wiz.
