You asking for Thor and Dutch?  It's okay, you can tell us if they put you up to it.


Sorry...can't tell...I promised.

However, I have been asked to get pictures if possible. It's a quality control issue.
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already." – Dave Barry

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

Can't be much worse than opening up an oven that is at 775 degrees and pulling a stator weighing 1/2 ton out and having to work on it.

I don't wanna go to your places.  I'll just take my own suffering and sit quietly in a corner.   :bawl:

That's the worst of our job, the rest isn't so bad. I do go through quite a few pairs of welder's gloves.

Well when snow becomes the norm down here, and we are well equipped (snow plowers, snow tires, etc.) then we can talk. AND furthermore, we didn't get snow. We got freakin' ice. BIG DIFFERENCE!! So there.

We get ice as well.  Matter of fact, IIRC in the 2008 ice storm we got over an INCH of it.  Got to the point where I was afraid to walk from my house to the road because branches and some pretty good sized chunks were falling once it started warming up later that day and the wind REALLY kicked up.

And for the record--the NH DOT has less than 800 plows.  NYC has over 2000.  Look at the road mileage involved and tell me why NYC took over a week to clear their streets and NH roads (and in towns, most of the side streets) are clear within a DAY.  That's right--the roads here were wet, but cleared of snow and ice less than 12 hours after the snow stopped.

ETA: Nice to see you back, BTW.

Yup--also was forced to wake up half an hour before I went to bed, fed rat poison for breakfast, beaten with a board for being born...

AND I WAS GRATEFUL!!!!
