I love when it snows. There's a certain stillness or a quiet calm you get at no other time. (Barring a blizzard or until the snow blowers startup! Ha!)

I'm hoping OnePing Only does some more WWII pbem AAR's, I find his commentary and voice to be the best on the internet. I literally could watch them for hours!

 

Best!

@gunner I enjoy using my snowblower so much when I'm done my yard and wood pile access I end up doing random neighbours driveways lol! I have a Arens 32" with heated handles... It's a beast!

A neighbor used to do my, and a few others, driveways/walkways but had moved away.

A few years back a coworker who lived locally moved from his house to a condo and I bought his snowblower. A Toro 3 stage job.

Of course we have only had one deep snow in the last 3 years where I could use it. I don't think it snowed but a dusting last year.

The lack of snow is all my fault for buying the snowblower. I'm sure we would be buried in blizzards if I didn't. 😉

What a day... it's been snowing nonstop here in Scotland, and we're expecting another heavy round overnight. I need to get my daughter to the hospital by 9am tomorrow for an operation, so I'm really not looking forward to that drive in these terrible conditions.

On top of everything, this forum image issue has put a bit of a damper on my enthusiasm about getting FGM back up and running. I really wanted to start clean without the stress of things not working.... oh how wrong I was!

I mean, we chose WordPress specifically for their support – remember how badly the previous hosting company let us down? The WordPress engineers have already helped me out once after I managed to lock myself out of the admin area within days of setting up... total klutz move on my part!

Here's hoping tomorrow brings better things. Take care everyone!

@louis Time to create a World Cup qualifier thread again. I think Bootie would like to see Scotland on that list. 🙂

Since you insist... LOL 🤩 
I also thought the boss was Scottish, like Sean Connery, as Loch Ness, as a good whisky.

As I'm reading this @fgmbootie I'm hoping you made it to the hospital safely and all is well with your daughter.

Thanks... interesting drive.  Multiple road traffic collisions passed on the way but we made it and little missy was fine after her wee op too.  Now her and her Mum are on the sofa in the lounge watching Wicked... Im glad Im upstairs in the office... LOL

Well done you for cleaning the bathroom, I have always believed if you have a working busy wife husbands should tackle some of these jobs, makes fort a good partnership

 @hedgehog Well, cleaning the bathroom is a task that falls solely to me here. And the kitchen, and the bedroom, and the living room, etc., etc... 😑

Lucky guy… I had to install the sink, the cabinet, the faucet, and all the plumbing myself. And I’m an IT guy — I’ve got pure office-worker hands… and I still have to install the second sink and take the old ones to the recycling center… this nightmare isn’t over yet.
