Top of the spring?

Well top of the spring to you too, Lancer..can't tell by looking out
the window up here tho..we are flirting with the snowfall record now.

I hope it quits soon.

Send some of it this way. It's been like early summer for almost a
month and we have a record low snow pack in the mountains.

Sorry to hear that, Frank. Here's me saying 'so much for global warming'
as I replace the cutting blades on my plows again...while you're living
the warm and drought. Weather is sure a strange phenomenon.


Could be worse. I remember back in 66-67 when we had snow like Buffalo
and it didn't melt until May -- and there was still snow on the pass
in July!

That is some real snow in Buffalo! A certain party in Rochester gets
a fair share of the white gold too. It seems to go in cycles sorta
like band openings, but on a grander scale. (who knows)

The good
thing is that I've been able to get lots of stuff done early, even
rebuilt the front end on the truck.

Ball joints, tie rods, and such?


Yep. It started with a bad idler arm and I kinda got carried away.

Not so bad if you're doing it yourself, the parts are competitively
priced.
Which model truck are you working on?


Oh, it's always a joy getting under those old vehicles.


But it's gonna be mighty dry this
summer if we don't get some heavy precip pretty soon.

Maybe you'll get the spring rains. (not all at once)


I dunno. I hope so since most of our electricity comes from hydro. But
weather blows West to East, so it's entirely possible the drought is
coming your way.

Or the spring rains that also flow west to east. Our water table is
more than ample here. The sewer taxes will kill ya tho..


Taxes period kill ya!


Don't you have a nuke plant over there?

Yes, in fact I think we have two.


Cool, glow in the dark stuff
