    There's usually a truck parked in front of that part of the shed and that's my excuse for posting the following.

    We have a light snow about every 10 years or so.

    It's interesting to look at but always glad it is someone else's problem.

    Our winters are mild. Salt is never used on roads. When pavement on overpasses or bridges freeze sand or dirt is spread instead.

    We have many other faults/hurtles here though. No place on earth is the "perfect" place to live.

    PS: Those old Chevy's bring good money these days.

    I drove it off the showroom floor of the Wimpy dealership out of 4 Corners Arizona in 1970.

    It's a 'Wimpy' 1969 - 350ci / runs like a champ / body's showing it's age.
    I'm likely to post this one sooner or later. If I do it now it's out of the way.

    An observation and I'll let go of this.
    Never let a mule deer try to help you work on your truck.

    They'll talk a good game to put you at ease while they try to muscle their way in.
    Next thing you know you're missing tools and they're asking for the keys.

    I thought at first the deer must be one of those fake target deers that bow hunters practice on.

    Must be pretty tame. I guess you and the wifey give it handouts?

    OEM mechanical / pressure limiter and filter upgrade. Mostly stock or clones of original GM parts.
    I could babble on at length about what's been done over the years. Suffice to say... it runs.

    divorced / two boys in their 40's

    Deer come in for the apples

    and tend to stay for the shade.

    I won't try to tell you they're tame but will admit they're used to my presence.

    neighbor's cat, that divorced them and hangs at my house most of the day,

    got up a tree and over to the shed roof, likely chasing a squirrel, or something chased him,

    he could not figure out how to get down, so I had to grab a ladder and pluck him off the roof,

    he is a good kitteh, but not that bright

    When you went up there for him, was he glad for the help or did he try to rip you a new one?

    Cats live where they want to live and with whom. May stay in your yard because of shade too. If you feed him/her it is now your cat.
