Not Staying Home

We’ve been out every day this week and have to go out today. It’s all been fairly necessary. Monday was the vet and to pick up the meat Chad wanted. Yesterday Vince talked to the guy who’s going to do the radon remediation and Vince needs to cut an opening so the guy can get to the area around the plumbing in the downstairs bath tub so Vince had to go back to Home Depot and get the door to fit the opening so he can measure the area to be cut out. We were supposed to pick up our meat Friday for Christmas dinner but with the forecast weather, we may not be going anywhere on Friday so we called and they’ll have it cut for us by the time we get there today. Chad thinks he’s coming to Joplin on Friday and I think they’re going to be doing good to get here on Sunday. We’ll see.

We got this from the closest little town:

In anticipation of the weather that has been forecasted the next few days, we are asking our citizens to remove vehicles from the sides of the roadway, to allow room for our plow trucks to get through.  This will make it easier for them to maneuver down each road and get them cleared off as quickly as possible.  Your cooperation would greatly be appreciated.

Tomorrow is trash pickup and I doubt that happens either . The county snow plow will come down the main streets where we live but they don’t come down our street because it’s a private road. 1-3″ isn’t a big deal but it will slow things down. A lot of folks are getting way more than that and they’d laugh at everything shutting down around here for 1 – 3″. I just hope we get enough to build a snowman.
