Sounds like my wife might be on the outskirts of that storm.  She called this morning from her sister’s house Edgerton to say they were about to head to their Milwaukee so her sister could get back home before the first wave.  The rest of the family might be having fun getting to Milwaukee for Christmas Eve.  I didn’t want to rub in the fact that here in Reno we will be sunny and pushin’ 50 for the weekend, and I don’t have to go anywhere!  The cats and I’ll have a fire and some hot rum and just “Lax Out”!

Hope you don’t have to do much travelling over the weekend.

Good evening folks. Nice here today, but the bottom drops out tomorrow, so we will be doing some running in the morning before it does. Then I'm working the afternoon and Friday. Lady C will be smarter and staying in those days! Stay safe and warm, those of you that have to be out in this mess.

Evening all.

It’s cold and snowy here in Montana too. -10, WC -30 in Missoula, according to whatever weather thing is on my phone. -60 up in Seeley Lake. Our high in town was 2, and tomorrow is headed for a balmy -13.

I have tomorrow off from work, since the pumps in the trucks don’t work below 0. They don’t work very well below 32, but they’re passable. -13 is too much for them. I don’t k ow what I’m going to do with myself, other than maybe go to Lowe’s and see if they have any good deals on crow’s foot wrenches.

Afternoon all.

-10 in Missoula for the high today. Windchill averaging -20 out to -35. And I’m about to go out in this junk to feed horses. Wish me luck ::)

Had a relatively productive day, doing things around the house that we haven’t had time for. Also got some good sales at a couple places. One of the local farm and ranch places had horse feed buy one get one, so I got 200lbs (was a pain getting the camper shell open on the truck. Had to use a zippo). Then the other farm and ranch place had Carhartt sweaters on sale for 60% off, so I got one of those (also spent $70 on a bucket there. Apparently heater coils are expensive when placed in a bucket), and at Lowe’s they had the good US made Craftsman tools at varying discounts. So I got the wrenches I was looking for, and a nice 3 drawer carry handle toolbox.

Y’all keep warm out there.

I know I read somewhere that you can't take it with you, but it really galls me to spend $4.00 for a glass of beer in a Restaurant. I can buy Milwaukee's finest at a local supermarket for under a buck a can. When I camped at the NCOWS Nationals in the primitive area, nothing modern could be shown or used. I learned to drink Beer out of a tin cup.

May you and your loved ones have a Blessed & Merry Christmas and a Happy & Prosperous New Year.
You need to learn to like all the little everday things like a sip of good whiskey, a soft bed, a glass of buttermilk,  and a feisty old gentleman like myself

Well, didn't make it to work today as the garage door was frozen shut! Got a space heater going in the garage right now to try to thaw it out. Hopefully it will warm up enough to thaw it loose!
Anyway, Merry Christmas to all of you, my friends.

At the Museum now so far no guests, but I suppose we'll get some Gift Shop traffic.
We have line of models tanks & planes  & high end collectable die-cast aircraft display. 
There is outside militaria vendor that display's collectibles with us...

Right now just myself and one of our volunteer docents are in, listening to Doo-wop.

About 15 min to doors locked...as expected light attendance, several called for our hours of operation but so far none showed.
I'll lock the doors at 5PM, anyone still in here may stay till 6...then lights out....
I suspect tho I've seen the last of them today  :-\
We are closed Xmas day and as usual Monday, I'm back on Wednesday.

I'll be about tomorrow (on line) , but I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas

Edit...Surprise, a lone dude just walked in  :P
