What they say

the cold all right so what's the difference you might say what's the difference in a storm here versus a storm in Utah so we are about ten minutes away from the North Carolina Virginia border near the biggest town I guess in Virginia is Martinsville where the racetrack is we are on the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in other words this way is flat and this way is Mountain so we're right on that western facing or northern Northwest facing slope that's going to get pounded with this snowstorm that's coming in we're supposed to get a significant amount of snow somewhere in a neighborhood of 8 to 13 inches we don't get that kind of snow around here that kind of snow load on buildings and on barns is a very very big concern so we've got to do some things in order to be prepared so that we're not screwed first thing we got to do is make sure our vehicles are full of fuel in case we got to get out of here in case we run in a ditch or in case we get into a situation where you have to sit in the truck or the car and wait for somebody for a significant amount of time you want to be full of fuel we also need to fill every fuel can that we have or gas can that we have here on the farm to make sure we can keep fuel in the tractors and we can keep fuel in the generator so the first order of business fill the Gator up with fuel fill the tractors up with fuel fill the trucks up with fuel and the generator up with fuel had the generator out back set out ready to rock and roll so all I've got to do is push a button start it up and we're running on generator power so that's what we're gonna do today preparations first thing we're going to
