To my ODSS Brothers and Sisters

Happy New Year to everyone!

I look forward to continued verbal abuse of Hambone, and great fellowship and hopes of many gatherings this year!

(Sorry this is a few days late, been without power due to snow storm and still no power!)

Fresca and vodka is hard to beat. The moderate bite of the grapefruit flavor masks the vodka bite. It goes down way to easy, making for a dangerous drink.

No power for 7 whole days. No internet for two and a half weeks. A 4 hour trip with a chain saw to get home when the trees started breaking. I was only 5 miles from home at work. Then some irresponsible people came to the Construction site after knowing they were sick and gave everyone Covid. I'm ready for spring. My wife and I were very sick but doing better now ! Thinking about tomorrow, possibly checking out a large find of trucks being sold.....

Jim, Happy to hear you and the wife are doing better...

Are the 'for sale' trucks the ones we visited last year or do we have a new place to check out?

Jim, Glad you are back with us. This last storm didn't hit us as bad. But Mike R and I just wrapped up 24 hours of State Highway plowing. I got sent over to deal with an issue his wingman had with his truck on his route and even after about 22 hours straight, Mikey was still ... um ... Mikey smile

Carl Carl Carl ... Fresca and Vodka? THAT sounds absolutely revolting. Tim, for once, Hambone has sound advice -- stick to your ales (especially Imperials ... smile )

Speaking of Ales ... now being an Inspector Morse fan (both the original and the Endeavour series) I have suddenly become enamored of the Jaguar MkII ... I think I want one ...

I was ready to go to bed for sure. Ol Binder continues to work well. Got released at 2pm by the State but had to stay to help load up the plow and plow frame, Home by 3pm and now the bed is calling my name after being awake for around 32 hours.
