February 21 My Blustery Day




Old man winter decided to visit again. The local weathermen hyped it as a big winter storm. Overnight we got about 2" of snow but that was it for the whole day. The wind did pick up to about 30 mph which made it feel much colder than 20 degrees. It also caused the snow to blow around all day. I had to run an emergency call with a pipe fitter, Rich. We had to find a leak in the pipe to a diesel pump and replace it. This job wouldn't have been too bad except it was in Bumfuck, IL and the wind blew across the open fields surrounding the station at what seemed like gale force winds. We saw small farm animals flying by in the wind. I kept looking for that asshole from the Weather Channel to do a live shot standing in the road. So to passed the time, I sang this song from Winnie The Pooh's "Blustery Day".
Hum dum dum ditty dum
Hum dum dum

Oh the wind is lashing lustily
And the trees are thrashing thrustily
And the leaves are rustling gustily
So it's rather safe to say
That it seems that it may turn out to be
It feels that it will undoubtedly
It looks like a rather blustery day, today
It sounds that it may turn out to be
Feels that it will undoubtedly
Looks like a rather blustery day today

When I got home, I sat on the couch and ate a pot of honey.
