are you here on business? were about 1&1/2 hour west of Richmond.warmed uped and rain. turning cooler over the weekend.

 

Ok, to be fair, I put up a similar pic of Miss Susan

 

Yeah, work stuff in Newport News. Headed back home tomorrow. Turn and burn.

 

most of the snow was west toward Shenadoah Valley and west. rain melted all the snow yesterday. just checkin, thought if you were headed our direction we could meet up and id buy you some supper! have a safe trip

 

It'd be nice to have a few days but then my wife would have wanted to come a hit the Outlets in Williamsburg. I need to get back to Blue Ridge and Skyline Drive one of these Fall days. Finally remembered that restaurant from my childhood - Michie "Mickey's" Tavern

 

Yes ive been stuck at the outlets there before by my wife.we can be on Skyline drive at Afton Mtn. in 15 minutes from the house. have a good trip. if you ever get back our way shoot me a PM. there is a BBQplace on Int64 @Williamsburg thats pretty good but dont remember the name.you could smell the pits on 64 and i pulled in there one time. may be Kings BBQ not sure

 

I'm going to guess Pierce's BBQ. Been there years ago. Most certainly will shoot you a note when I get back to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Only Falls colors around my area are from green to brown.

 

Damn thats it Pierce’s BBQ, notice i always cap BBQ its that important

 

Ok Mike here are my wheel bearings after 160k, I think I could have gone farther

 

Good Evening

Went to work it was 21 degrees, get home its 1 degree.
It was a total crap ass night at work. First shift counterpart was back from California. I wish he would of stayed there.

@dewayne hope your wife is feeling better.

Good Friday morning friends.

 

15 freekin' degrees. Wild chill of 2.

And there's a boat show going on at the Fairgrounds.....HA!

 

It's down to 31F here. Got up to 56 yesterday with 3.26" of rain! Surprisingly no koi required for the basement but the sump pump is getting a workout.

 

Howdy

 

Good Friday the -13° with -28° windchill. Real cold doesn't hit until Tuesday now.

Pretty young braindead snowflake on TV said if your skin turns black from frostbite you should seek medical help. Really? They think people are so stupid that if their skin turns black they don't know enough to see a doctor? Damn either we are going to be buried alive by snow or body parts are freezing and falling off If it is black you're too late it is dead.

Mn. boat show is this weekend up in the Twin Cities. Inside. 2 weekends is the Ice Social downtown here. Outside. Really don't have a desire to go sit on a seat made out of ice and drink at a bar made of ice. Although some of the ice sculptures are pretty when lit up to be honest.

I know enough to stay away from the boat show. A man's second happiest day is when he buys a boat. His happiest is when he sells that money pit.

 

We have been kinda slow this week.
So now on a Friday why in the fuck do they slam us with work.
Plus lots of very hard diag with transmissions, engines, check engine lights, and occasionally
A noise. AKA very tedious and time consuming with more than one tech involved..
A brake job coming in very late in the day.. ie not enough time to do it right.
I just don’t get it..
Can’t teach em. We keep trying.. looking at open spots and sticking them in.
Gonna suck if their is a late day diag by someone and not enough time to fix it and it’s gonna sit their till Monday..
There are about 10 jobs that never should have been put on today..
Plus a good guy went to the hospital for a bad back isssue. So we are short.


On a good note the weekend it mine.
24 hours of Daytona this weekend..

Be safe people.
I feel you need to be more aware today...

 

You can always build one out of a log. Then if you get cold you can burn it..
