I work in county government. Our voting registration office was getting rid of old ballot boxes, so I snagged a couple. Now I gotta figure something to build out of them. My first thought was that I kinda wished I didn't already have a swing box. I would fab some swing boxes out of them. Thoughts?

Cleared the driveway before the next storm tonight. Part of our local deer herd went by shortly after.

That's 54" next to my wife and expecting another couple feet the next ten days.

I love seeing your pictures! You live in such a beautiful area. Boy, is that an amazing amount of snow!

Thanks, we feel blessed to live where there are four seasons. I love the snow even though it is hard work to keep it cleared! Skiing makes up for it. Have gotten another 11" since then and now over 12 feet for the season...avg is 138". We get about 20" down in the city.

This is what the roads looked like where I used to go skiing in Japan.

Niagara falls.

Niagara falls.

Been there several times (I'm 2 hours south in Pa). Never gets old. Usually there a few times in the winter for my son's hockey team. Not this year of course.

Those are actualy tour busses of people from Southern Japan
who don't get to see much snow.

Who were they full of votes for?

Since I do not have gutters on the front of my house, as the snow slides down the metal roof it gradually curls under itself during the day and then re-freezes at night. This causes the icicles to point at the house. They haven't grown to where they touch the windows yet.

Froze up dam. I think they said it’s been 40 years since the last time. It was frozen all the way down a couple days ago. Best to everyone down in Texas. I just got an ad for a filet o fish while trying to post. Good God.

Hi Folks,

I got a personal tour of the Davis Monthan famous boneyard. This was a one on tour in my little 2007 Ford Ranger by the former commanding officer of the boneyard, Col. Don R. (retired). This is something that the general public cannot do and has no access to see, much less photograph. There is a bus tour from the Pima Air and Space Museum, but you only see tiny bit of the boneyard. I got to walk around the planes and up into the big C5As. Watched a B52 being destroyed for the Russian agreement to limit the 52s. They use a huge blade to break the planes spine, then leave it for a few days for the Russian Spy satelite to verify... Quite a day for me to sit in the cockpit of an F16 as well! Took most of the day to tour. Scary was the tankers that sprayed Agent Orange in Vietnam. These planes are off limit to everyone but mechanical robuts...they are to be burried in a huge clay lined pit...not sure about this but this is the plan approved by the county...

Here are a few of the pictures.

Scary stuff that AO, still killing many of vets & indigenous! Think the only way to cleanse for certain would be falling into the sun! Bet those planes/parts will still be a killer long after atomic fuel rods went to 0 on a geiger counter.

Otherwise, what a unique experience Phil, glad you got to see that in person and "play" with a few of the toys.

Good stuff, Phil.

Take a tour with Google

Simply mindboggling how many plane carcasses are out there.
