If I could do it all over again I'd be a weather personality.
What a great job.
You come on the tube, scare people with Snowmagedon or whatever and have a laugh with the other news people.
When you miss the prediction totally you come on and laugh about it again.
If you started any other job and F'd up like that you would be lucky to make it to Wednesday of your first week.
The guy I wouldn't want to is the poor sucker sent out to report on hurricanes. I'm sure I'd be on live TV as a flying street sign decapitated me.
I know what you mean by being prepped and nothing to do.
My FEL tractor has been sitting in my garage waiting all winter. Fully fueled, 3pth blade on the back.
Nothing worth starting up for, although I do start Arnie up every 3-4 weeks just to warm up and charge the battery, move him around so the tires don't flatspot.
The one snow we had that could have used his services my neighbor beat me to it. Thanks Andy.
I think he just wanted to show off his new toy with snowblower.
