We also had 8 inches of snow last week and snow drifts 4 feet deep on the north side of my storage shed. That snow will be there for awhile. I am ready for spring.
I would like to have your homeowners insurance prices.
My homeowners insurance here in Texas went up almost 25% last year which amounted to about $1500 a year. My homeowners insurance is up almost $500 again this year. I shop every year and just paid it again for 2025. We have not had a claim since 2018 when we had a hail storm and a new roof. We live in the panhandle of Texas so we don?t have floods or hurricanes yet homeowners insurance is brutal. We do not have a huge house just a few acres of land.
Texas does not have state income taxes but the insurance costs for homeowners and vehicles makes up for it.
I am ready for some warmer weather.

Hi Rick! I still run around with Bill Scharrer. He's the guy you sold that big block crank too. Remember? He still drives it around town. 65 El Camino. Sounds nasty but I think its a no go showboat. Your crankshaft was over kill for that motor. LOL

Yes, a lot of folks don't believe in climate change. Problem is all our insurance company's sure do! Another decade of this crazy weather and none of us will be able to afford the rates, if you can buy it at all. I say it way too much, but I'm glad I was born when I was. Being old is actually going to have some benefits... Ha Ha
good Talkin at ya...
