Good luck with all the snow!  Up here in Green Bay, we only got 1.3" of snow overnight but I'm going to use that as an excuse to sequester myself in my man-cave tonight.

Now you can lay head on bench and dream of building that old kit of the Ford truck with the plow

When I was a kid growing up in Quincy, CA we got 5 ft in 2 days and schools were still open.  Here in the Willamette Valley between Salem and Eugene, OR they get 3 inches and schools close for 2-3 days, everyone panics on the roads.  Gets funny as can be.

Bodyman's dreams come true for the next 2 months fixing it all.  But then I get to increase the stash............

Quincy? I've got people all over Plumas County.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Mom had the post office in Keddie in the late 60'-early 70's. Played cards with the caretaker at Paxton Lodge in the same time era. Grew up in the old big log house ( two right next to each other, Mom split the property and the newer one was built) on Oakland Camp Road about a half mile from the cutoff to Hwy 70.  Left in 71 after I got out of high school.

Took my ground school and flying lessons at Gansner Field.

Went back for my 5 year reunion, and passed through again in 88.   Got to get back down for some gold prospecting this summer I hope.  Want to look up an old mine and see if the ore cart is still there.

Spent about 5 hrs digging out on Wednesday, that included help from neighbor w/ Bobcat. With all that wind, had spots & drifts anywhere from 2-5 ft deep in my neighborhood. Sure glad my cruiser is AWD, those old Crown Vics were horrible in this stuff!

BTW- Hey Rotor! Didn't realize you were on the Cape! I'm not far away on the left side of the canal!
