It's the continued pussification of the USA You would think 8 inches of snow was the apocolypse, the end of the world as we know it 8rofl=

Make a snowman, or heaven forbid, drive your VW  skid)) in the snow

I know a secret but don't tell lots of folks:

Thank you for your words of wisdom Muggy they are so true.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate the help form Jay and Patrick this weekend, Jay for making three trips to the house to put my new cover on my Van and I never knew he was outside doing it. Every time JoAnn looked out side she saw something else don to it.

Thanks to Patrick for getting the Snow Blower out and doing my driveway, not an easy job to do.............





And to JoAnn for getting out there with the shovel doing the steps and walkway.



LOVE YOU GUYS, THANKS!!!

Now feel free to drive over and drop off some milk, bread, and eggs  8rofl=

I've heard that ISIS is behind this snowstorm because they realized that they can create more fear and panic than old school terrorism. They made magic snow making machines out of old Toyota pickups.  8rofl=

I don't drive my VWs in the rain or snow, it might get wet.

  With 50+ mph winds, first with ice coming down, JD was skated to my backyard, and then snow covered him bigtime, we got ~ 28 inches...




Had to dig / snowblow doggie trails so my dog could ummmmm attend to her business...




I think it will be a LOOOOOONG time before JD gets back to the driveway....






IT's all too much work - even with a snow blower!

  Jack, yea, long driveway, but that is why I have a snow blower!  I would have died otherwise... and if I didn't I would be so sore, I wish I had...  old-\

 

Bob, you always like to  =stirpot- a bit don't ya?!       tongue\

                                      No tar ..... yet    whistll=- although I was very much attracted to HD's   sale on roofing tar  Anyone's car need undercoating?



























 Started in mid Aug , when I had some cash to start.  Eventually, the weather got too cold to paint the doors and trim, and then to install, so will do that when the weather warms up - for now it has a tarp - wrap



Pretty tough to put up by oneself!

Bob, now resides in there, ... I did not have enough flat ground to make it any wider, but good enough for Bob, and the trailer, side by side with some room to spare. Although now I cannot get to either until the snow melts    4thinking6


Howard, Bob, ... you guys are sooo lucky you live far away!   violent  violent



  Howard, ... and what have you been doing this summer?    -seenoevel

Looks Great Matt! Good luck with finishing the build. I love it when Members build V-Dub shelters ! I personally need more room. Although my boss(wife) reminds me I only have one butt.  old-\
