    Hey Russ, you didn't send your truck to Sweden too...Did You! We got the same here in Tennessee. First a nice inch of ice covered with 3 inches of snow just to make things interesting on the hills. In 6 weeks you may call me MentalSomething, I guess its cabin fever.

    First, you Vikings come over and take off with the women, now you want our trucks too!
    No more trucks until we see some restorable Viking longboats on Ebay. We don't mind restoring them. A classic wooden boat on a trailer behind an AD is perfect! Better yet a half dozen flaxen maned Valkries in the back of the AD as well. You see I'm going mad stuck in this house.

    Yes~ I, too, am tired of walking on snow. The only up side is I have toooo much school "stuff" to do to worry about much else.

    Cold & Wet !

    It's been raining here in La La Land (home of fruits , nuts & flakes) to beat the band ! I mean REAL rain with 50' visability and 20 MPH on the freeway etc.

    Last time we had rains like this , I was driving my old '46 3100 daily and that crank out windshield leaked like a sieve .

    My buddy in ?Elizabeth? Tenn. says it's snowing there too .

    Hey Nate

    News from the US. The orange fields covered with snow an ice. Farmers are using water spring installations in the orange fields to keep the frost out so the fruit and trees dont get damaged.

    Great your back again Martinius.

    Martinius~ Thanks for the link to the boats. The one about Viking women was a bit scarry!
    This is why my dad needs to get a computer. He loves building boat models. He draws the plans to scale, cuts the pieces, glues and paints everything. The pictures of those Viking ships is detailed enough I am sure he'd be all over building one of those!
    Cool stuff!

    Yeah ;

    It's a huge problem here that costs millions of dollars when they get too cold .

    A distant relative of mine invented the smoky " smudge pots " used years ago by Citrus Farmers to prevent freezing....

    I don't miss Farming overly much .

    Well, that is how we are here in the south. We may get one a year and it is gone soon. We like to take a day off also.
