When Jeff is done here, do you want me to send him your way?

No, that's really not him, but that's what he is doing right now. The blower he is using is wider and taller and has three augers and a taller and larger discharge chute. He can go though a eight foot drift with ease. The tractor he is using is bigger and more horse power than this one. And he has a eight foot wide four foot tall blade on the front.
Alaskan Outside, he can clean your driveway in less than five minutes...and throw your mailbox into the back yard in less than two seconds!

If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman. He was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the police officer's credibility...
Q: 'Officer-- did you see my client fleeing the scene?'
A: 'No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away.'
Q: 'Officer -- who provided this description?'
A: 'The officer who responded to the scene.'
Q: 'A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?'
A: 'Yes, sir. With my life.'
Q: 'With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?'
A: 'Yes sir, we do!'
Q: 'And do you have a locker in the room?'
A: 'Yes sir, I do.'
Q: 'And do you have a lock on your locker?'
A: 'Yes sir.'
Q: 'Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?'
A: 'You see, sir -- we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.'
I though this would bring a smile to your face, Have a Good day, Sheila
P.S. 3b where are you?

What's going on? On Thursday night I saw three vehicles driving in the dark with no headlights. In two cases they had parking lights on. Is this the result of having so many new cars with automatic headlights: people forget to turn them on when they drive an older car?

Thankful
Come on 3b get back in here, we miss you! I know you are listening...I can hear you breathing. If you don't get back in here I'm libel to make fun of your cats. Ok, I warned you, here goes.
Neighbor woman called me all hysterical, said she accidentally slammed the door on her cats tail and cut it off. After I got her calmed down I told her to take the cat to Wal Mart. "Wal Mart", she asked. Well of course, they are the biggest retailer in the area....
You better get back in here or this WILL continue!
Ok, folks that should do it.....

Keystoner bust? PA troopers say 3-ton pot truckload is biggest ever
Pennsylvania Police Maj. Huascar Rivera told The Associated Press
that troopers pulled over a tractor-trailer loaded with about three tons of
marijuana last Sunday.
The truck reportedly failed to stop at a weigh station on Interstate 81 in
Lebanon County. Police told The AP they found six plywood crates with
about 6,000 pounds of marijuana hidden behind boxes in the truck’s trailer. The
drugs are worth about $25 million, police said.
Authorities have arrested Eric Emmanuel, 35, of Pembroke Pines, FL, and
Stanley Narcisse, 34, of Winter Garden, FL, in connection with the incident.
Damn Truck drivers anyway! Trucks shouldn't be allowed on the hiway at all, they just get in my way!

Florida trooper wrote phony tickets
In south Florida, a state Highway Patrol trooper is under arrest on charges
that he wrote more than 200 phony traffic tickets to make himself look good to
his superiors.
The Miami Herald report Wednesday, Feb. 3, that
Paul Lawrence would allegedly write up new tickets on drivers using information
he obtained on an earlier traffic stop.
The patrol became suspicious when motorists started calling in to complain
they’d received tickets citing locations, dates and supposed offenses that they
knew nothing about.
(Music Man this is just an FYI, oky doky)

The warning period is over and fines have begun for distracted drivers in the
provinces of Ontario and British Columbia.
Police began handing out fines starting Monday, Feb. 1, for those caught
using hand-held communications devices while behind the wheel. Fines are $155 in
Ontario and $167 in B.C. Those caught texting in B.C. while on graduated
licensing could receive three penalty points.
“The distracted driving law makes it illegal for drivers to talk, text, type,
dial or e-mail using hand-held cell phones and other hand-held communications
and entertainment devices,” Ontario Ministry of Transportation officials stated.
The ban also applies to laptop computers and DVD players.
Pressing one button to answer a call is permitted, while hands-free
technology and the use of communications for emergency purposes are exempt.
They are more concerned with this, than passing a law providing, wipers on, headlights! Or move over or slow down (or slow up your vehicle for Connecticut residents) for emergency or maintenance vehicles! Our northern neighbors need to get their priorities in order.....
Jeff is on a hunting trip in British Columbia with week and next. They are hunting for the elusive Canadian Giant Jackalope and the Northern Rocky Mountain Snow Snake. The jackalopes we have around here are mighty tasty, but it takes so many of them to make a meal..... same goes for the snow snakes.
At least the mailbox will be safe for a few days....

The Virginia Senate voted 29-11 Tuesday, Feb. 2, to
approve a bill that would increase the 65 mph speed limit to 70 mph for all
vehicles on rural sections of interstates where engineers deemed it safe. The
change would also apply to other multilane, divided, limited-access highways and
high-occupancy lanes.
The bill
– SB537 – now moves to
the House where an identical measure was approved Tuesday on a 71-26 vote. The
House bill – HB856 – is on its
way to the Senate for further consideration.
One
version of the legislation must gain approval from both chambers before it can
advance to Gov. Bob McDonnell’s desk for his signature.
The pursuit of higher speeds has the backing of McDonnell.
He pledged during his run for governor to pursue faster travel on rural
stretches of highway statewide. During his recent State of the Commonwealth
Address, he reiterated his desire to see 70 mph speeds implemented on stretches
of I-95, I-64, I-77 and I-81. McDonnell pointed out that 32 states already have
70 mph speed limits, and 13 states have speeds set at 75
mph.
McDonnell said today that the modest increase in the speed
limit not only will be safe for travelers to arrive at their destinations in a
timelier manner, but will also benefit
transportation.
"the modest increase in
the speed limit not only will be safe for travelers to arrive at their
destinations in a timelier manner"
My question is "At what cost?"
Cost of changing all the signs. People who were comfortable with the
old speed limit, now are forced to drive faster to keep up with traffic. In your
mind, you can leave a few minutes later and still not be late for work. Increase
in fuel costs. Increase on the wear and tear on your vehicle. People who are now
driving five to seven MPH over the limit will now be running close to 80 MPH.
My opinion is, increasing the speed limit and not increasing the fines
is crazy. Increasing the speed limit leads to an increase of fatalities in an
accident and people getting hurt far worse in an accident at the higher
speeds. To do what? Save a few minutes....
"70 mph for all
vehicles on rural sections of interstates where engineers deemed it
safe"
Aren't these the same engineers that can't design
a road where a bridge deck meets the road evenly.....
One last thought
that my father always said to me before I went some place. His parting words
were "Don't drive faster than your guardian angel can fly!" And his other saying
was, "If it works, don't try to fix it".
If you are going to "up the
speed limit" then by all means "UP THE SPEED LIMIT! Why not 75 MPH or 80 MPH.
Works in Texas and Utah. If you are going to do it.....do it up right! Your
Thought?

Jeff went out today and bought a new bright Red Avalanche Pickup Truck, all
wheel drive of course, heated seats, all of the bells and whistles. Before he
brought it home he went to the pickup accessory store and got aluminum rims, new
fancy tires, drop visor, bug deflector, and an aluminum deer bumper. AND then he
had extra lights put on it along the bottom side and front were amber and across
the back a string of red ones that get brighter when the brake lights came on.
He got home at dusk and I noticed something with all kinds of lights on it
coming up the driveway. I thought, "get my gun, we are being invaded by aliens."
But no, I just stood there watching. "I wondered, what idiot is this." Well, I
soon found out it was "my idiot".
We have a motion censored yard light above the garage. When he got out, I saw
who it was. I put my jacket on and went out to investigate. "Come on lets go for
a ride", he said. He already had the seat warmers on, and I had to admit, that
felt nice. So, here we are driving down the road and I was taking it all in. I
reached over and turned the radio on but nothing happened. "It's voice
activated" he said. I looked at him as to say, "say what"? He said "watch and
learn". "Radio" he said, "Willie Nelson". In a second the radio lit up and we
were listening to "On The Road Again".
I looked at him and just shook my head. Then I said, "Radio, Faith Hill", and
next we were listening to to her sing. I thought wow, what other stuff can I
call out. Just then some idiot pulled out in front of him that was on his cell
phone and Jeff had to hit the brakes kind of hard and then he said, "Dumb son of
a B"! The radio stop playing music and the
next thing we heard was Obama giving another speech. God, I love his new pickup
truck!
