Thanks Dennis, we'll be there in about 4 weeks, but who's counting? Tonight's low will hit -10 and that's with no wind :cry: Lots of small errands to run today, need to get going. Jon

Man, I am SICK of winter. We ended up with a new 4" "only snowshowers" this morning and cold temps and tomorrow is supposed to go even colder but at least it's only two days. Without a doubt, this is one of the worst winters we've had in 20 years, the ice has really made it seem worse...

Dennis-- We are going to be in Orlando for 3 nights and then drive up to Daytona Friday morning (day 1) and hit the vendor area for a few hours and then head down to Vero Beach to be with friends. Would be fun to do the night scene once but it's not on the schedule, probably just as well, we...

Dennis-- We are also headed to Orlando and Vero Beach at the end of Feb., I think we are doing one day at Epcot and just coasting the rest of the time. We have good friends at Vero Beach and VERY much looking forward to that time as neither one of us has ever been there. Also planning on one...

Chief--you have my deepest sympathy with the wifes day off and going shopping. Fortunately my wife went back to work today (even though she works at a bank) so I can get done what needs to be done. I would love to have a new 50" HD TV in the living room to replace our tiny 27", not sure I can...

Last night must have been disaster night for cooking, I spent at least two hours working on a new meal for just the two of us, talk about bland. It was a Rigatoni Chicken bake with not enough spices, NEXT time I will follow my instincts and do it right. Beautiful day here but brutally cold -9...

Just came in from plowing the driveway of 3 1/2" of beautiful white snow. Our driveway is about 100 yds. of crushed rock with a nice hill, I have an ATV with a blade and I can do the whole thing in less than 45 minutes :thumb: The snow came straight down and is fairly light but oh baby, it is...

Thanks Dennis for the story about last night. I think "the terrible two's" and the "teenage years" are way over exaggerated. Sure, there are moments of frustration but more importantly, there are more moments of love and relationship building than you will ever realize. We have enjoyed every...

A+ job Ozzy, typical Iowa quality :thumb: Jon

Had a great day yesterday working with some of the best kids in Iowa at a state contest. I was on the road by 4 PM and home just a little after 5 PM so I could see the Pack put a whippin' on the Seahawks. I sure hope Dallas loses today so we can see another game on the frozen Tundra next week...

Ozzy-- The Boone & Scenic Valley train is well worth visiting. On the weekends they fire up the steamer for the trips, otherwise during the summer they use a diesel for the daily trips. It's a beautiful out & back trip and I think it's about 90 minutes-----it's been several years since we've...

Dennis-- The Odysee (sp) is a heck of vehicle for a mini van. I can think of many times now that I'm retired how handy one would be when we are all together. We had a mini van and then moved to a full sized conversion van, that was the best. Especially for ski trips. Are you taking your car...

Ozzman-- Thanks for the update. Glad you are getting the surgery done now so your a$$ will be ready to ride when it gets nice :thumb: Jon

Ozzy--I fully agree, let's do it! It might be kind of fun chasing an Amtrak from Osceola going east, I'm not sure of the current schedule but a year ago it used to come in from the west at 8:10 AM--give or take an hour :mrgreen: Another very busy line in the UP that parallels hwy. 30, I've got...

OK, Dr. John started it. What does the Ohio State Football team and marijuana have in common? They both get smoked in bowls :mrgreen: Sorry Buckeye, Dr. John made me do it :wave: At least with the Hawkeye's this year we didn't have to worry about any bowl game disappointment, just upcoming...

Greetings from the Heartlands! If you like old style Western movies with modern technology you might want to rent "3:10 To Yuma". Just finished watching and I did enjoy it, Russell Crowe was amazing and there was an actual live steam engine. I have the extra features playing right now, very...

Don B.-- Now THAT'S funny :thumb: I hope by the time you get to Iowa that we have a stage coach as I'm thinking this old back wouldn't make it the next 1000 miles to York plus we could take care of the beverages from within the stage coach aussie Jon

Hey RT, I'm just happy, we've been above freezing for 55 hours and that is truly something to celebrate :woot1:Now I'm hoping for a Big 10 victory tonight with The Ohio State University, I sure hope they show the TUBA player dotting the i---that is a big deal :thumb: Jonannounce1

Raining and in the upper 30's, sure hope it stays that way. Lost a great deal of snow this weekend but there's still enough on the driveway and lawn to make it interesting. Chief--are we going to have to listen to you whine about a job you chose to do for how many years :cry: ? I don't recall...

I'm thinking someone is going to have a hefty fine and an immediate raise in their insurance premium. Jon
