That looks really cold. Snow while on the water…nope.
lol it snowed again today. At least we didn’t have 30+ mph winds today as well lol. I stayed in the wheel house all day working on paperwork getting ready for an audit next week. Crane mechanics didn’t have it as good lol
Do you have to know anything about engines or can I just hang out in my room and code in vim all day?
