    Not sure if someone suggested, but what about a retaining compound? That stuff is crazy strong.

    In regards to the poll, I'm an on time person, maybe 5 minutes early. My old boss used to ask if I even pissed on a schedule, cause no matter what time we started I'd stroll through the door 5 minutes before and have everything ready to go by the time the clock hit. I'm a night person, I'm not getting up any earlier than I have to, roll outa bed, bathroom, clothes, out the door, no messing about. Also haven't been late but once in the past 10 or 15 years, but once when a random 20 minute train decided to roll through downtown.

    Not a huge fan of winters but hoarfrost is beautiful.

    Be careful brother. My work is super safety conscious, I'd venture to say one of the most safety conscious of companies out there(Nuclear industry in general) I've watched many a safety video (most of us I'm sure) but yeah even a arc flash is nasty!

    Big snow flakes don’t last long and probably won’t amount to much.... the smaller flakes is whatcha gotta watch for!! Weird . We had huge flakes the other day. It covered the grass in no time and then nothing....
