Ever have one of those days...

ChrissyBz

Ok It's 1:31 am and one of those days have officially started. Huge winds tonight and a ladder that was left leaning against the 10000 gallon water cistern
for the restaurant fell and broke the outlet pipe. We have no water for the restaurant till it gets fixed. Sum Beach. Good thing I was still up and at mom's house or it wouldn't have been discovered till morning and we would have burnt the pump out.

Ouch.... Hour and a half into the day. Hopefully it only gets better from here.

Hi guys, guess I missed you last night.


::jumping up and down waving arms:: OHH! OHH! PICK ME!!!

Off to work. catch you later.

Shaina

LMAO -- now that's a term I've never heard used to describe me.

I slept in because it's not like I can leave the apartment -- it's still snowing! Nonstop now since 8am yesterday. We've gone from bare grass to snow past the bumpers on your standard car.

I know many of you have far more snow, but it's the wind that gets us here: constantly forming and reforming drifts all over the place. 10" of snow can easily lead to 4' drifts with bare patches in between. A real pain for drivers and road crews alike.

Hey Shaina!! Looks like your storm is heading our way this afternoon and we're gonna get punded...yay! I am SO sick of snow- I know I have said it a million times, but it really needs to go away!!

Sorry Chrissy, what a way to start a day.

We are getting rain in torrents here in suburban Boston. It is really ugly outside. I am worried about our roofs in Vermont. There have been collapses on the news.

Shaina

Sorry SDO! I'll put a fan outside to try to drive it more north so it misses ya

Sugar Daddy Otis

DO you have someone "watching" the house in Vermont or not? Do you call a neighbor to check in??

THANKS SHAINA!!! THat would be GREAT!!

MegaMuttMom

No we don't. We were there last weekend to dig out the propane tank. There was so much snow in front of the garage building that we didn't get the roof rake out. We should have shoveled our way in. The house will be OK because the roof has a good pitch. It's the garage that may have trouble. It had a good few feet of snow on it and the rain could do it in. We have our fingers crossed.

Sugar Daddy Otis

I'll cross mine for you, too-don't want those antiques to get ruined Good Luck!

I haven't been on much this week- I am neglecting DF! My girl has swimming lessons 4 times a week and It is just crazy- 3 years old and running her around already- guess it goes straight on through high school from here, huh?

MegaMuttMom

This is a picture of our garage. It's really old. The town plow turns around in front of our house and had plowed a ton of snow in front of the door. I have a pottery kick wheel and a kiln in there. I hope all goes well. Actually, the kick wheel is so sturdy it could probably survive a roof collapse.


SDO-Those little ones can really keep you busy. Now that mine are older we have to sit around waiting for the phone call to pick them up. It's cramping our style. When they were younger they just stayed home with a babysitter. Now they have more fun than us

Sugar Daddy Otis

I hope that garage hold up for you!!
I just never thought I would be taxi already for a 3 year old-Swimming, gymnastics...gees they are starting younger and younger.

Shaina

Hehe, yeah I guess so...of course when they turn 16 they can taxi themselves if you get them a car, but that opens up a whole other realm of worries...

ONE of those days!!

Nothing bad with dogs. Just work is super busy. Im only here till 3 anyway but man, I just took 7 escalations in a row with the last lady SCREAMING her head off at me because we didnt take the fraud charges off!

Renoman

Hey ladies!! How is everyone?

Home from work a little while ago and now I've got my 'chores' done I can sit and relax with all of you.

SDO, I was talking to a guy whose wife was in Virginia. They were getting the same pounding. They expected 6" to 1 ft. of snow before it's over. Winds are wreaking havoc with power lines. 2 days ago they had this rain... this doesn't look good for us...

Sugar Daddy Otis

Ha- I have a ton of "chores" to do but girly is napping so I am taking a few minutes to chilll!!
Yep- it's here. Started about 1:00 and has put about 3" down already and won't be stopping anytime soon. Where are you at again-I know I probably aleady asked this before but.. I don't remember.

Renoman

I'm in western MA, just 20 minutes from the Brattleboro VT

Sugar Daddy Otis

So you aren't too far away I guess. Have you gotten the certifications you needed to move to AZ yet?

Renoman

Not yet, but people are working on them.

Sugar Daddy Otis

Good- hopefully it dosen't take too long!!
Well, better get back to those chores-they're calling my name. I'll be back to party later!
