You are prolly catching a ride on a animal cargo plane. If you get hungry, you can always butcher a chicken.

Re: I'm Sick Of Snow


I don't know about the rest of you, but I am really getting intolerant of the cold. It is worse every year, seems like. Or maybe as we age, it just hurts more?

If I could load up my tools and live in the Florida Keys, I would be there.

Re: I'm Sick Of Snow


Well I was in St. Maartin last year and construction was booming. High rise resorts and condos going up. Maybe we should get a Contractor talk group together and go down there for the winter and show them how to build. From what I saw they must not have any OSHA or inspectors. We could have a great winter!

Some sad equipment sitting around doing nothing. I don't see us starting before March 15 if this weather keeps up.

Re: I'm Sick Of Snow


denick -

Is that somewhere near Danbury? - An old friend has a shopping center there and always complained about the weather, which never seemed too bad to me. He grew up just north of New Haven (Hampton), so i guess that explains his opinion.

Dick,

About 50 miles due North of Danbury. Right on the MA and NY borders of CT.
