Over 2 feet of snow just 2 weeks ago. 14 degrees the beginning of this past week. Snow has almost all melted the past couple of days. Was outside doing yard clean up with no coat today. Sunny and warm, maybe upper 50's to 60's, didn't check. Mosquitos were buzzing around and yes even killed...

My digging buddy JoeTheCrow and a great friend of this forum unexpectedly lost his mother this evening. She was an amazingly talented woman who graced this Earth for 88 years. Please keep ol' Joe in your thoughts and prayers. Lost my dad a few years back and remember how much it hurt despite...
I don't check all of the topics on here and have been a little out of the loop lately, but did any body notice or mention that our very own Sir Sick Rickster won 2nd place in the AG&BC magazine writing contest? Who was a runner up from this forum as well?
Good job!

Am I missing something? Why doesn't this forum have a year's end dig of the year contest every year decided by voting members? Best dig of the year by active members, don't post "somebody's" digs. Active member digs only! Voters will judge how active they are when voting. Dig pics must be...
Pittsburgh Show? I know there are a pile of diggers in the Pittsburgh area, are none of them on this forum? Not a bad show at all, have gone about every other year.

Who's going to one of the best shows in New England? Awesome show with awesome glass. I have been a few times. I am surprised nobody has brought this up yet. What about Norm's on Oct 9th in Woodstock Valley, CT?

I was reading about the this Mustafa Abdul-Jalil who is the "head" of the National Transitional Council in Libya. His "deputy" Ali Tarhouni said "Sometimes to avoid bloodshed you must shed blood, and the faster we do this, the less blood we shed." Please explain your thoughts on this. Is it...
Been watching the news about Joplin, MO. So sad as you know the death count will only keep climbing for probably weeks. Worst tornado to hit the mid-west since 1953 they stated. The kid (Will Norton) who had just graduated high school 30 minutes before being sucked out of a H3 his father was...
Our small City of Bradford, PA has made it to the final round in the weather channel and weather.com's Toughest Weather contest/poll. Out of 64 cities across America, we are up against Fargo, ND for the title (if that's what you call it). Bradford, with just 8,400 people beat out Philly (1.5...

Happy Birthday to "Joe the Crow." He is the great guy who got me into this sick, passionate past time 14 plus years ago. How many tons of dirt and filth have I slung/shoveled because of you? Hope you have a great one, you old Bas###d!!! You are a good, true friend and I am truly sorry that I...
