I spent so much time snow blowing the driveway that I forgot to post the sled pictures. Ironically, the old snowmobile show was postponed Saturday ... because of too much snow and nasty-ass conditions. We were under a State of Emergency; people were told to stay off all roads.

My daughter doesn't have school tomorrow because of "wide-spread" power outages. Thankfully we still have lights, heat ... and obviously an Internet connection.

Here are the sled show pixs:

I was bored and decided to paint up a swap meet helmet for my daughter. What can I say - we didn't have decent sledding snow last month. She picked the colors - no pinks or purples - metallic black and candy apple red.

It's a spray-bomb job. I spent $17 on a shield and $4 on glittery skulls for lines - she is a girl afterall. ;)

I like looking at snow pictures,but glad I don't have to deal with it :lol: :lol: :lol:


That makes 2 of us. :lol:

I like shoveling snow when I visit my in-laws in Wyoming, but I'm glad I don't have to do it all the time.


I have an extra shovel if you want to get in some practice before your next trip to Wyoming. :thumbs:

Yep ... although it was motorcycle weather today - 60 and sunny. Time to put away the sleds and charge up the battery on the Bug!!!!

It's a bit early to think winter is over. Last year we had a foot of snow on April 20.

I didn't catch that episode. If they paid over $500 they overbought - except my machine ;)
