You think that is cold Jon, maryland was even colder, had to get my neighbors kid to school because their cars that were parked outside over night would not open (locks would open but the doors were ice welded shut after all the rain and then freezing temps)

We have been working in the rain and cold all week. It gets hard when the wind starts blowing. We are doing 4-5 story buildings and even with all our 10 gal. Machines it gets hard to reach with bad winds. I can deal with cold and rain but not wind.

Was 47 or so in Raleigh today. Today I powerwashed some egg vandalism off a house and windows. Two weeks ago I powerwashed deer blood from asphalt from a huge deer, apparently freshly killed and left for a prank. Lots of pranks in the area lately :D Must be the cold coming on....

Doug,

Unless that deer was road kill, that is more than a prank. It is morally criminal. Hunting is more than a sport, it is an instinctual activity eons old to provide food for survival. I am not a hunter but approve of those that are, as long as they eat, skin, or put to good use what they kill.

Just killing for the bravado is corrupt. Aside from varmits or protection of home, family, or in some cases livestock.
