If you want to see some of the unknown guys you can always head over to the minor league fields, but if you go in late March you see many of the regulars.
Yes!

Let's not talk about that because we were planning a trip then found out my wife is preg, so no trip now
Can't you go and leave her in a farrowing crate?

Good news! It's getting warmer. It's gone up 9 degrees since noon. It's now 9 degrees. Bad news. Can't see [expletive] because it's snowing and blowing like a mother [expletive].

18" yesterday, a solid 3 foot dumping expected tomorrow.

Man, I really miss drinking and driving my tractor at 5am. Well, only drinking in the morning on weekends and in the evening after I got home from work (obviously drinking before work when you work at a nuclear power plant is a bad idea). I've found the most difficult part is drinking a beer while turning a corner and operating the hydraulics at the same time. I need an extra hand. Makes me sad my tractor does not have a cup holder - my only true complaint about it.

Joce, the beer can helmet was actually what I was eventually planning on doing. I just never got around to doing it. I usually settled for resting the beer between my legs when I had to turn while raising/lowering the bucket, or sacrificed one of the other things while taking a swig.

Drinking beer and playing with tractors is fun.
