Hello.Uncle Frankie is undoubtedly smirking as I get buried under an avalanche of new snow that is missing him completely.:(I intend to make sure he gets to'enjoy'this added moisture as well so am asking for help.
I live just south of the continental divide-Frankie is north of it of course.With a little effort and a few volunteers I intend to shovel,haul,dump a lot of my snow just north a few miles so at least the run off gets to Frankie.Please grab your shovels and come help.Coffee provided free of charge.Hey,it will help LOTWs water levels as well.Call me when you get just west of the house,the drifts will stop you there but I'll pick you up with the tractor.Thank you.

You are missing the boat on this one. just get that cheapskate Pikebob out there, and tell him you lost a quarter in the snow. Hand him a shovel, and stand back.

Send Pikebob,we are totally buried.All roads pretty much shut down up here on the plateau.Tell him I lost a Krugerrand gold piece while looking for that quarter.

Sounds like one of those shovel ready projects we have been hearing about.
We'll get Congress right on it. Should be able to get you dug out for a few billion. Bu August anyway.

I don't know Uncle Frank.......Might have to take away money from Minneapolis and their 2 million dollars worth of calming artistic signs that they are putting up! But I think if we put a bug in Obama's ear, he can dig Dick out as soon as he is done with his cure for cancer!

What are you guys yapping about? It's 85 and sunny. And baseball (spring training anyway) started last week. I'll be doing some bed fishing this weekend (with lots of sun screen) as the bass are staring to spawn.

Don't take it personal Bob, I was steriotyped as cheap also for smoking a pipe. Tough crowd somedays.
Snow doesn't look that deep to me. Dick, why don't you go back out and stand in the snow and have the better half snap a picture.....

Its not deep Dennis.Feel free to grab a shovel and come up.You can start by digging my 4 wheel drive tractor out.That will keep you out of trouble for awhile.

Trouble, me? I'm clean.... you know that :D
Sorry I can't help, Chiropractor says no mo snow shoveling.
Load em up with quail shot and make a path to the mailbox.... that will keep you busy for awhile and also take care of that bad itch!

Well it took the boys and I three days but we got the road open.They want to get right at hauling some snow to the north side of the 'Divide' but I'm shot and need a break.Will get on that project tomorrow morn.

Looks like a ski hill for Ruhmann. Amazing what you can do with TWO shovels.

Is Dick standing on his tippie toes? I think the snow is an OPTIcal illusion, and god knows those Opti's can give you dilusions!
