First Snow for the Couch!

The first snowstorm of the year came through today and my family and I took full advantage of the packing snow. What better way to start the winter season than to build a SNOWMAN! We got one going and once it was all together it was about 6' 4". I mentioned something about hooligan coming out at night and my 4 year old little girl started saying, "I hope the hooligans don't hurt the snowman."

We made a lazy snowman that did not feel like standing all night.....so we rolled out the couch. 'Frosty' chilled on the couch for about an hour before he "fell asleep" or passed out, depending on who you ask. I have heard that snowmen like to get sauced.

Before the snowman took his tumble, we were able to snag a pic of him for the blog. He said that he would be back some day to chill with us again. He by far was the coolest person to sit on the couch. He wasn't the friendliest guy though...he gave my daughter and I the cold shoulder.

Bk Boat n Sleds.com had their 1st annual snowmobile and swap show this past weekend. The couch was the the only piece of living room furniture in attendance. The weather was perfect so the couch hung outside all day.

The couch was right in the heart of things! Quite a few folks took a sec to hang on the couch and a few of them spent some serious time relaxing. I tried making some deals with the couch but no one was open to a swap. I tried trading it for a ladder, but DougsLadder.com just doesn't have the same ring to it.

After the crowd thinned and the camera's were put away....we had some fun with the couch. I had it all loaded in the truck with out it's strap and decided to perfect the "auto unload" feature. I tossed the truck in reverse and hit the breaks.... the couch dropped right out but the cap of the truck stopped it from unloading it's self completely. There was that split second when the couch hit the top of the cap that I thought to myself..."this isn't a good idea"...but it was too late.
