The last time it snowed here my wife cautioned me not to over do it shoveling the walk.  She left and went to town. A couple of the neighborhood youngsters came by with snow shovels, so I hired them to do our 16' by 4' walk. We had almost and inch of snow so I paid them $50.00 each. After they were done I invited them in to warm up and even sent them away wit a cup of hot chocolate. My wife was very upset when she found out.  Did I pay too much?  Here are a couple of picture i snapped of the little darlings.

We haven't got any snow here, but do you think they would mind coming over to wait for any snow that might come??

Glen,
great idea, I would like to attend your clinic, but having some trouble with my car.
can you come and pick me up please?  ::)

T.I.A.

 ;D :D ;D

Marcel, I stopped by your place and honked and honked, but nobody came out!  I think I saw someone peeking at me through the curtains though!   ??? ;)  The polizei came and told me to stop, and suggested I leave the area entirely, so I won't be back to pick you up!  Thanks for volunteering though!!

Today was what I call a BONUS Day.  64 F and I worked in the shop all day with the doors open. I do appreciate days like this. spent most of my time cleaning and found a light coat of rust on my band saw table. Last time I used it, I cleaned it very good, and put 2 coats of paste wax on the table.  I keep it covered with a bed sheet cover my wife made. Only thing I can figure is its the c0ver. Other tools stay uncovered most of the time and no poblem. Plan on working on it tomorrow. On another note, I tried to hire the "kids" again today to swpeep the shop but ran into  a slight problem.  Wife told me to Go Ahead!!!   All I can say is
