The post whore thread.

Today, I picked up a commercial ice maker/water dispenser. Going to try to run it on the kitchen counter until we move, then it's going in my shop. WAY overkill, but it was a deal I couldn't pass up. Makes up to 500lb of nugget ice per day.

That might be just big enough to supply my wife's daily ice usage.

I'll be damned if I didn't even think about my Mother's (passed) tradition of Black Eyed Peas and Collard Greens for New Years Eve Dinner.

I was never really a fan, but, tradition.

This, although my folks are still kickin'. I don't put a lot of stock in it being 'good luck', but I'm on-board with several food traditions.

And tamales usually showed up for good luck as well.

Finally, the sun is peeking out just before settling behind the mountain. In two days we've had about 30 inches of fresh snow on top of the ~15 inches already on the ground. More than the nearby Ward, Brainard Lake and Longs Peak areas. We're in a perfect vortex off the Peak to Peak where rain and snow funnels as it crosses the Continental Divide.

Yesterday I ran the Toro snowthrower twice and plowed the driveway once, a nearly all day job. This morning we plowed twice and ran the Toro for about 3 hours. Finally all cleared out!

The state plows haven't kept up here. There's a good 8 inches on the highway. They'll get it clear by morning and I'll plow again so we can get mail delivery.

BTW, the CDOT is looking to hire 260 snow plow drivers statewide. They pay $47K to $62K a year and will train and get you a CDL, commercial driver license.

Bless your hearts.....I couldn't deal with the cold and that much snow ever again.

That reminds me....I need to get the neighbors recipe for her tamales. She gave us some on xmas eve and we had them later...they were awesome.
