So I get an appointment to get the oil changed on my old war wagon for today. Mom & Dad bring their car over last night (in the snow & sleet) and swap so I have a car to get to work in tomorrow. We get a few inches of snow last night, but nothing major. I go out to fire up Dad's car this morning to make my wonderful 40 minute drive to my rotten job. Turn the key forward and....clickclickclickclick. Sounds like a crapped-out starter to me. So I call Dad (who just got out of bed...he's retired, ya' know) & he says "Aw, crap....". I call in to work to let them know I won't be coming in today. Great start to the day...
Now I get a whole day to play RRT3!!!

Well...It was just a dead battery. Dad had to come over & jump it, then he went & got a new battery. Unfortunately, I decided to go to work

It was, but I think I made the right one ... Trains are running again, worse luck, but who knows what the day will bring? Pray for rain!

Ruth, I won't pray for rain until I know you own a boat.

Grandma Ruth, hope you are enjoying the weather. Down here it is so mild that the daffodils are starting to flower. I might just go and sit in the sun for a while

All folks as come to Sussex must follow Sussex wyas,
And when they've larned to know us well
There's no place else they'd wish to dwell in all their blessed days.
There ant no place like Sussex until you goes Above,
But Sussex will be Sussex, and Sussex won't be druv.

Did you see Hebden Bridge on the news last night? That's where I am now - at work, unfortunately.

Grandma, nice area you are in. In 1961 I visited Halifax and traveled a bit in the area.

It is. In spite of all our complaints, it's beautiful, whichever side of the Pennines you're on! I've heard even Sussex is quite nice!
