2011 Blizzard in Wheaton

[TriggerT]

Put your house on the market now if you only have 1278 days to sell it.

The big tractor did a kick-ass job on the snow. Maybe not as clean looking as the snow-thrower, but I now have 10 foot+ tall snow piles in the yard for the kids to play on.

Interesting camera work. You got the outside and the screen pretty much in focus. What was the f-stop?

Screw you. :lol:

Actually, was meant as a serious question. That kind of depth of field usually requires a really small aperture, which usually means a lot of light. There didn't seem to be that much ambient light. Maybe the new digitals have more flexibility. At any rate, nice pictures.

How about an update on your snow clearing skilz? I figure you must have dug a hole in the driveway by now. Grab the camera and show us the fruits of your labor.

I will tomorrow...

I apologize. I naturally just assumed you were teasing as my shots are not very good. I have a little Sony point and shoot.

My brother was an excellent landscape photographer with several coffee table books out...until he found he could not support his family after several decades of doing that. If you're ever in Wheaton, I'll show you his books.

I looked out the window two maybe three times today, said screw it I got 4WD.

Yeah, well your grass sucks!

https://www.google.co...w=1748&bih=1049 Bermuda grass Pea gravel is dormant in Winter, required by AZ Homeowners Associations because it requires very little water in Summer!

Yeah, I fixed your link too Mr. Sunshine.

:****:

Yeah! That grass is hidin' in the tall gravel!

...cause there's NO liabilty there...

 

[TriggerT]

They are my kids, let them try to sue me.

My bad...should have said "therapy", not "liability". Carry on...

Four words.

Sorry, Wheatie. Old M brings out the naughty in me ...

I've got lots of my own snow right here :huh:

Well, Mary Ellen, Wheaton and I use secret pet names.

But, "Buttercup" is close.

...Well, not really.

At least he's got the testicular fortitude to

come west this summer. ...Just an observation.

 

[wheatonFJR]

...Sorry, Wheatie. Old M brings out the naughty in me ...

I bet he's got pictures, too. Dang that guy is good.

Buzz off buddy, I'm already spoken for.

No, it's not barb.

I still owe you that beer though...but only if you show up some place along the route.

Can't help but look at the weather forecast back yonder and just shake my head...everyone has been getting pounded. Pics are just brutal Wheatie!

I left the snow blower in Michigan...ya need the address?

Don't hurt yourself shoveling 'ol man.

Dropped down below 60 last night. Have had a couple of warm days after several days being quite chilly, and the coldest January in decades.

Glad I'm not back home in Oklahoma, though, where the family's from! Saw that OK City nearly broke the February record for snowfall yesterday. On the 1st!!!

I feel your pain wfooshee, twas so cold yesterday here in Phoenix I didn't want to go street riding. So I headed out to the Kelvin-Florence Highway to ride dirt instead. Winter Sucks!

Even had to wear my heaviest sweatshirt and I kept my Belstaff Tour Master jacket in the top box, just in case. Even had to wear my Hondaline winter gloves! Winter Really Sucks!

Hi George, What ever happened to the warm, sweet and endearing Mark that we all used to know and love here on our FJR Forum? (OM really loves Wheatie!)

This snow situation seems to be turning wheatonFJR into a disturbed and twisted individual, sort of like The Manatee Molester-RadioHowie! Winter Does Suck!

Sweet pics, I wish I could see that much of my property. Getting tired of moving snow at work then again at home.

AZ looks real fine about now.
