I'm soooooo glad I took my foot of the brake

This is Downtown Jacksonville. Come on down and we will show you a good time.

Did you know that since 1928 there has only been 40 times that at least 3 inches of snow have fallen on the valley floor? A bit more at our place.

It is similar to Portland, though when it snows, people hibernate. There were almost no cars on the streets. We did see a couple of motorcycles but the first day with no bicyclists.


Where are all the contractors? I don't even see any footprints. So much for our move in date. I thought people in Portland used to come up with some great excuses for not coming to work.

These guys are something else down here. " I can't make it up the hill." My kid wants to play in the snow. I am still at Les Schab trying to buy some tires. I broke my tire chains. My wife was feeling amorous. I had to help my neighbor who slid into the ditch. I got a bloody nose. I lost my car keys. I thought work was cancelled today because school was out. I couldn't find my car because it was covered with snow. AAA never came when I called. I thought the world had ended when I saw this white stuff coming down. I have got poison oak in my mouth. I thought Mt Mcgloughlin had blown. I ran into a skunk. I moved to Florida. It's too cold. My dog wouldn't go outside to pee". Okay maybe some of those are okay.

Oh well, at least we have some peace and quiet.
Maybe I will have a lawn when the snow goes away. What do you know, they really did lock the door yesterday.

Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!










"Keep your foot off the brakes"
No, I'm not in Australia. Some people do really drive on this side of the road. I would like to know who built this road. It sucks. It all slopes the wrong way. Big white almost bit the dust today after 117,520 miles. 11 years with her sitting on these soft leather seats. Michelle had to get out of the car before she took this shot. We were headed for the ditch a couple of times and almost over the cliff. We must be living right. She had had enough.

After that she asked me if I wanted her to get out and take pictures. She almost got her wish. I was headed for another ditch with Big White doing one of those spin moves on me again. Of course Michelle was changing the battery in the camera so she says. After the spin move I look in my rear view when Big white comes to a stop and I see M hobbling down the road. Now what could be safer. Walking on ice or doing a spin move with Big White with G at the wheel. So much for her runnig for a while. She pulled that big muscle in her hip or maybe a tendon. Our nurse friends can probably give her the diagnosis. It better be quick because I don't want a grumpy bunny. Whatever, she is in a lot of pain. I even had to do the kiddy pooper. I got some big credits for that. (Big poop and a lot of it ) Her pear racing days may be over this year. She is laying on a bucket of ice right now.


I am looking for my hose. I think a contractor stole it. Yesterday it was on my patio. Today it is gone. Maybe the snow ate it.













Our partially finished hardwood floors.






















Wow. What a sight. More credits earned here but she has earned them with all the surgeries I have had.
