Gonna be 61 today....think I'll be taking the xmas lights off the front fence.

OBC, IDNKT you are exactly ONE DAY older than me.

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.

That's a lot of snow, and I am sitting here in Denver saying, I'm pretty glad the mountains are up there

I wish we had more snow in Denver (fingers crossed behind my back.)

We're living the good life in the mountains and are very glad we aren't sitting in Denver.

Decided I wanted to mount my QYT radio in my truck, so got bored and drew up a mount that should allow me to install it without using any screws. On the printer now. We'll see how this goes.

QYT Radio? I have a HAM Radio, to install in my truck, and, might need a mount like this.

It's a QYT KT8900d. Chinese made HAM radio, little 25w deal.
If you have a 11-14 F150, I can share the file.

What are you using to draw?

I was just using Tinkercad. Since it's online, I can use it while I'm pretending to work on the company machine.

Well, I math'd the bolt pattern wrong, but, everything else seems to check out. A little adjusting, then will print another

Damn math anyways.
