Looking Out My Front Door

[k_williams1982]

Well, two days ago it was sunny and up in the 50's. Yesterday, it was windy and raining (thought I was living on the coast again ). According to the weather lady on the news last night (and we all know how accurate those people are) it was supposed to be a 50% chance of RAIN today. These were taken at 6:30AM this morning, and it's still coming down. We have about 6" total already and I know it wasn't snowing at 2AM this morning, so this started sometime after that.

The good news is that the truck fired up without being plugged in, but I think I have 1 or 2 bad GPs. Oh well, just gives me an excuse to get my 7.3 style controller and GPs swapped into it.

Maybe I should go get some "cookie" videos before it's gone...

Actually, we're looking at places in Iowa. The houses are CHEAP there. A home that sells here for $300,000 is only about $110,000 there. We saw homes in the $60,000-$80,000 range all over. I need to do a little more research on the employment, but if I could find a job there, we'd be moving. We want to OWN our home, but the housing costs here are insane! I work in construction and know most of the builders around here. I'm not one to "bash" on someone, but some of those "*******-jack" homes were "thrown together" in less than two weeks and the quality is low. Most of the homes around here are a prime example of what greed does... Quanity over quality.

I've gotten used to the brutally cold winters here, so I think I could adjust.

I'd rather have snow thatn hail... Getting hit in the head by falling snow does hurt. There were people here complaining that it was snowing too hard for them to make it up to the mountain to go snowboarding... ***?!?
