How many of us retire before we WANT to? Not a swipe at you KC, just a general thought. I would now but kinda need to pay bills while kids are my responsibility.

Guess my sister did but that was necessary due to cancer. Outside of those health situations, seems we hang on longer than we care to.

Officially 7 inches of snow at Villa das Boxster. Enough to justify firing up Little Fran, the vintage Little Toro That Could. Started and ran fine on last years fuel mix, must have remembered to treat it last spring.

What are the snowfall totals then. I’m about 1” or so of snow half hour in from the MN/IA border. Curious what @cmjh10 git and the twin cities folks.

Im guessing around 6”. Tough to tell with some of the drifts. Had knee deep piles the whole width of my driveway thanks to the city. That was fun.

Guy with a snowblower on the front of a mower helped me finish the pile up. Took like 5 minutes when it would have taken me probably 30. Snowblower is on the top of my list when I sell the truck.

Up in MN so we drove through the area. Would guess 3-4” from the country drive.

What do you have for a pickup again?

Bored now. Snow clearing done. No football or hoops on TV. Should probably go to LT and ride bike. Or I could just take a nap and maybe dream up something to kill some time.

Wife won a shopping spree at a store a couple weeks ago. Now she won free pizza for the year at a pizza joint. May get her to buy a lottery ticket.

30 minutes. I'm not up on all the catholic stuff. Didn't know they don't say the full Lord's Prayer. Her side stopped at deliver us from evil, our side kept going.

Miles? Engine? Body type? If not 4x4 just forget about it until April.

When your table orders waters to drink at a restaurant, your service drops. I usually tip better, but this is repetitive when we do.

LOL, that happened to me and a whole row of friends at a Catholic wedding out in a small town in Nebraska back in the 80's. Ooops, oh well they didn't kick us out and the reception was fun (I think)
