My friends and I would snitch a few of the slats to get a fire going when we were sledding.
Don't tell anyone though.........

yup,those were the ones.The wooden slats might actually be what we had here--more like this and they rolled them out. These look more familiar.

had to smile- these are what are used to prevent beach erosion on many Fl beaches. Snow is so much prettier than sand!

When I lived in Michigan. We lived by Lake Michigan in the Grand-Haven area and they to used these fences on the beach.had to smile- these are what are used to prevent beach erosion on many Fl beaches. Snow is so much prettier than sand!
Silly, horrible, gross weather... hope you can fix the leak without too much trouble and that the stream stays within its banks... be safe there Claire.We are being battered by severe gales and heavy heavy rain here. It's done all sorts, thunder, lightning, hail for days with more to come this weekend. I have a leak in my top bedroom ceiling, stream looks like it's going to breach it's banks in my garden, and in my home town of Hastings East Sussex, part of a cliff has come away, crashing down onto the beach below. No one hurt. It's apolyptical. Still at least it's not snow (typical English stiff upper lip poking up there).

The new snow-blower works great! We got about 6" overnight, small flakes. I think there's an Eskimo people that have about thirty words for snow...we've got one...not this schiest again. But there are different kinds of snow that we know too well. Blower was able to throw it far...far. Had to adjust the angle so I wasn't throwing it in the new neighbor's driveway. Heh! The snow banks alongside the road are easily eight feet tall or better, the one looks like a white freight train as I've got a path on the sidewalk buried under a compacted layer of the white snuff. Yesterday when I ran to Dollar Bay I'd seen that the highway grader had dropped his wing-blade and cut down the banks on either side...and some day soon...I hope...the Village will swing by with this big Sno-Go and take the banks...they blow them into 12-yard dump trucks and haul it away to a place where they deposit it. Warmed up too so we won't be sweating so much today...about 20 degrees F. yippe coyote.
Hi Spidey and Walt - How do? I can just picture Walt pushing his bright orange snowblower - sounds like a winner, Walt! (oh sorry - just repeated what Spidey said - my mind is not the sharpest, even on my second cup of coffee)Winter in Fl. 44F/7C at sunrsie. might make the 70 mark with little sun. Sunday will be near 80F-- go figure and then the deep plunge of 20 at night and 50 day. Should last about three days of that cold. Need to get the old blankets out to cover the well.
Walt- the new snowblower sound like a winner!
Who is in the picture, Haunted?
