Jak,

I see you're in for a blizzard. During the California Gold Rush, more money was made selling shovels to miners than was made prospecting. I was thinking you might be interested is selling snow shovels.

yeah this is a biggie for us.

the good thing is I don't need no stinkin shovel. this is why we rent in a building with heated indoor garage ha ha ha ..

I am looking forward though to taking my jeep sahara out which has a set of mountain snow flake rated snow tires on it.

can't wait. ever since I had it we had nothing that was fun. in fact I we bought snow shoes 7 years ago when we had the house in PA and that was the last time they saw action.

charging up all the camera batteries now.

I don't work many days anymore but it figures I was going in Monday and Tuesday.

Very Cool!!!! I love going out on the fire service roads here in the Sierras. We have lots of cross country skiing trails and snow shoeing treks up in the park. The park being Yosemite.

Hey Bud, just don't over do it. I find trekking in the snow to be a lot more strenuous than walking down the street.

I hope you get lots of great pictures. I enjoy viewing your photos. They really pop.

Take care and happy shoveling.

Maybe he can say something "Nice" about the sanitation department... Lets see what happens.


I did that Tauck tour back in the 70's as a young teenager (12 or 13 I think) with my Grandmother. Was good tour, But was little odd being 60 years younger then everyone else.
