Tell the truth!I had to chain up today, and one of my chains came off and got wrapped up between my duallies.
So I wound up spending about 45 minutes lying on my back underneath the package car in a pile of slush trying to get that damn chain untangled, while melting snow dripped off of the bottom of the truck and down my back. Then I had to put it back on so that I could get out of the driveway I was stuck in. My hands were frozen into claws and every fiber of clothing I had on was soaking wet. There was so much snow on me that the seat absorbed it like a sponge. I wound up stripping down in the back of the car so that I could wring the water out of my uniform. I picked a hell of a day to wear shorts.
I can deal with cold wet hands and feet but when your ass is frozen and soaking wet by 10:00 AM its gonna make for a long day.

Here's one for 9/5. This guy was sunning himself across a customer's driveway, this morning. I'm thinking, 6' long, or there about's.
Snakes freak me out. . . What kind is that ?

Rat snake! Pretty docile, for a snake.Snakes freak me out. . . What kind is that ?
I am not sure about who took the pic( over or menotyou) but whoever did , did you notice how much larger the moon seemed with your eye than with the photograph? I know that there is a psychological effect in play when the moon is near the horizon, and that seems to be discussed in some scientific literature but it seems to me the moon seems larger to us than it actually is no matter where you see it.
Some planetariums bring this fact home when they depict actual size to scale models of the solar system . The moon always seems too small to the observers of these models. It is something that I have researched over the years and I have never really gotten satisfactory answers and those that have researched it more thoroughly and scientifically than I have admit that there are no scientifically proven answers to this as it seems to involve psychology and biology at the very least. Hence a lot of theories.
I love getting to be the first one to drive on fresh snow.

Must have been horrible!Hawaii was part of my district when I was in charge of air operation compliance... I couldn't stand going to Maui and auditing the airport especially in February or March.
