    Calling for 8 inches of heavy sloppy crap tomorrow starting 0800 ending around sun down. Yippee.

    on the plus side I’m making my Sunday gravy today so I can chow down between shovel passes tomorrow. And got a big ol pork loin and will be cutting that up tonight and doing some shredded for my sauce.


    I’m not unaware of why I am overweight.

    Anyone use these before? I am planning my sleeping platform, and these would in theory fit. 3 of them would be laid down and would support likely a piece of ply on top of all that. But, it’s either these or the dewalt stacking ones. The dewalt ones only support 66lbs (probably 0.66 factor of safety so 100lbs but still). These are 2x as much as the dewalts, so I’m wondering if they’re worth it.

    I don't know about how much weight they will hold on the top of them but I have the extra large one on top of my truck for tools and recovery gear and I love it.

    They look like Pelican cases. Supposed to be exactly what you expect: a HF version of something that if you buy brand-name, is super expensive. You get what you pay for, but if those things last even 2 years they're worth the chance seeing that they'll probably get beaten up in the truck and on trips.

    In other news, trying to convince myself to watch the Super Bowl tomorrow... no local teams in the game definitely has its detriments on my interest level. (I say that as a casual NFL/Giants fan)

    that’s kind of what I was thinking. I can’t find a weight rating but they gotta be more than the dewalt boxes. And more versatile. But twice as much :| eh I’ll figure it out. Thanks gents! Glad someone has used them before.

    (Siren noises) Make sure you buy all the perishables and ingredients for bread- milk. We're getting 3" of snow.

    A safety factor less than 1 means it fails before the rated capacity. If it’s rated at 66lbs and fails at 100lbs, that’s a 1.5x safety factor.

    They bumped it down a bit since last night. *Maybe* 5-6" at my locale.
    Just started snowing a few minutes ago. Should be finished 4-5ish.

    Another storm swinging mostly South of us. We're supposed to get like 2-5" tonight, I think. Looks like Tuesday's storm will be a bust, too. Maybe Friday, which might be somewhat inconvenient since my buddy and I are supposed to head North for our camping trip Friday PM. Wouldn't be a big deal for me and him (I have a friend I can call to cover my plowing accounts), but his wife is also planning on driving up with their kids to make a visit to her family in Greenbush.

    Tuesday's festivities may be only wet slop down here on the coast. Friday may be another story, too far out and the weather guy was waffling a bit.
    I just need good weather next Sunday, as I have to go to JFK in New Yorkistan for a pickup.

    Very disappointed in the downgrade of the storm. NOAA said a foot last night, we’re down to 4-6” now. At least it looks like it will be done early enough today to clean up and not have to deal with it in the morning. Apparently there’s some football thing going on today. Haven’t watched a game all season. Go sports! I just hope both teams have fun. I wouldn’t mind seeing Brady get another ring, start filling out his other hand but, end of the day, couldn’t care less who wins.

    There is a guy from N Attleboro on the Chiefs too. I'm still rooting for Brady & Gronk though.

    On a somewhat related subject, what kind of spread does everyone have for the Superbowl? I just put on a pulled pork and my wife will be making homemade mac & cheese along with all the snacks!

    I might be giving these away. I picked up a set of snow tires on 16” rims from a coworker who bought a Tundra.. If I get these refinished then I would need to by new snow tires as mine are 17”. That would be something costly to me ATM .

    The Chiefs are going to stop the Brady train today.


    I really don’t care, probably won’t watch, haven’t watched a game this season, why start now.

    I could possibly use some advice on a moderate upgrade on my stock stereo. Head , speakers and maybe an amp to stow under my seat or something. Went into Best Buy for a HDMI cable and wandered over to audio. Thinking a Bluetooth/ CD . Yes , I have cds

    I watched only one game because my brothers were . Didn’t care all season. Sports are not the same to me this year ( don’t think I’m alone) . Would rather watch a spelling bee

    Crab dip, mac n cheese, Swedish meatballs, deviled eggs and nachos. Don’t care about the game but won’t miss the opportunity to get some good eats!
