Snow Day !

I bought a snow blower near the end of last winter, and it got its first trial run this morning. Performed just fine, and also blanketed the pooch in a coat of white (she will eventually learn where she should not stand when daddy is out running that contraption).

I was supposed to be leading a hike today for the park I work at but we cancelled due to the rain/snow mix. The rain is what would have made us miserable. Part of the hike was to follow a stretch of the now-abandoned track one traveled by the CNJ Blue Comet, including the section where the famous 1939 derailment in Chatsworth occurred. So I’m in my office instead, catching up on paperwork (and the forum!).

Every Saturday I go to Charles Ro, but will be snowed in today. I got weak in the knees this week and purchased the new Milwaukee S-3. It will come out of the box today and hopefully get some run time.

Snow days are made for school children and train guys (also trail gals) to enjoy. Not many years ago I had the bug to move to Florida full time to get away from the snow. I rode out a hurricane in Florida and now have a new appreciation for snow.

Have fun today people, be safe and run some trains.

Wish I had that option

Here is how things looked this morning out in front of my cabin in the north woods.

Ours came yesterday. I was certainly glad I changed my flight home from DC to Thursday night instead of Friday!! O'Hare had 700+ cancellations!!

Whats the MPG on that!

We got a couple inches here near Detroit last night. Can't believe we're almost in the end of January and are just getting our first "major" snow.

Timing is everything! It's a good thing Trainstock4 was last Saturday. Back home on Cape Cod they are now calling for 6 - 10 inches.

I want one of those.

Try one of these.

Hey John,

I am a big block Chevy freak. I have the same picture on my Facebook.

I'll bet that thing can handle some deep stuff and still turn a ten second quarter while doing it. Lol!!!

Ps...Good luck with the Camaro.

So long as we got to Trainstock last week I can deal with a little snow this week.

More in CNJ then Long Island. . .
