Well, I finished the full cycling on the shirt iron-ones and they are holding up exceptionally well. No visible signs of wear from all the wash cycles. The t-shirt ones look great and the sweat shirt one looks even better (probably has to do with the fabric density).

Once I get this damned tooth extracted in 2 weeks, I will focus on making the Coffee Club shirts available.

Well they just dropped the gates. Nobody is going anywhere for awhile. For those that live in a more sensible place this means they dropped gates to the highway and shutdown the roads. Snow drifts are to much. Blowing snow renders zero visibility.

They literally gate the roads?
 
I see them close off some roads. Either barricades or park a cruiser. But I think snow emergency is more by radio notice. That way they can let you on and fine you for not listening. Besides, they still want to let the plows on.

Out here in the tundra there are gate arms permanently affixed on all the ramps. When the snow and wind get dangerous they drop the arms. You get stranded in it at 20-30 below it does not take long to have a serious problem. I have 6 ft drifts on my drive at the house already. It is not so much that it is snowing but it is the wind. Did I mention we have no trees? And land is flat as a skillet for as far as you can see. On bright side the summers are glorious....... all three weeks of it.

Don't get drifting like that often and never that low on the temp.. So, while someone could certainly get stranded. The danger level is not even close.

I wish I could blow that up and frame it better, but right in the middle of the frame are 2 Barn Owl Toddlers. C M E D B D Is C M E D B D Beaks M R Owls. Mom decided to build her nest there and there they stayed for months until they got their wings. The device they are residing on is basically a 90Kcfm vacuum cleaner that filters the dust out of the asphalt plant I ran, called a "bag house". It's loud, the air stream is over 200* when the burner is in operation, there are 35 rows of 10 filter bags each with a 1 1/4" pipe with 10 air jets over each row. 6 at a time those pipes open to jet 120psi air into the top of the filter bags about 15 seconds apart until the cycle begins again, it shakes the entire structure. They stayed there happy as pigs in poop until they flew away. Of all the places to nest around that plant :realcrazy:

Give @Ddaddy the original and he can probably enhance it till you can tell you if they are male or female. LOL
 
In one of the mined out pits we had wild pigs for a while. The pit was deep enough to have water in it pretty much year round. The pigs brought the mountain lions down from the hills. You had to be real cautious when going in any of the tunnels around the plant. Had some good trailcam pics of the lions. The rockheads had a bobcat move her kittens to the feed end of one of the conveyors to escape the elements as near as we could figure. The operator was doing his walk around inspection and heard a funny noise before he hit the GO button. I loaned him my leather sleeves and welding gloves to get the little boogers off the conveyor and into a bobcat proof wooden crate. Kept them out of harms way for the day, left the crate out the next night and momcat came back and gathered them up.

I use to chip left handed. I'll also turn a 5 iron around backwards and take half swings. Got to where I could hit it 100 yards.
Saved me a few times when I ball was sitting next to a tree or something else.
Plus its just fun to practice.

I love to hit my 2 iron.... :D
