Crazy wind here

 

Different people think of different things in vehicles, to each thine own but yeah the resale quote is odd. I care less about that as I am planning to keep mine as long as I can..

Spill it..

Probably along the lines of the one I get "how do you think those tattoos will look when you're older?". I say "same as they do now, fucking bad ass!"

 

Power out already - National Grid keeps going up and down the road.

Truck's in the driveway in generator mode, though, and I'm powering my refrigerator, pellet stove, office stuff, and some lights.

 

Haha, PM inbound. But I'm sure you've heard it.
@CTSpruceMica texted earlier and confirmed...

 

Cross posting from the meet up thread for visibility,

Heads up on a killer deal

https://colemans.com/light-set-u-s-military

I ordered one because I knew exactly what it was - the copper in there is probably worth twice the price, mine was still new in bag. Even used they're a steal. You couldn't even get the 30A 4way for this price, and you could swap the plug on it if you wanted to if you don't have a NEMA 1030 outlet or want to use it for 110 instead.

12/3 copper leads on everything, and real resettable fuses on the power strip, hell it even has brand new bulbs in all the danglers.

 

Neat, butanother $50 to ship. Still a decent deal but i'd need tohave a reason or project in mind for it.

 

What ever happened with those cheap ATV motorcycle things that a bunch of you ordered a while back?

 

Never came!! The day it said it was delivered I called visa and fought it. Got a credit back.

 

Sigh.

 

At this point I would take the white stuff, so sick of rain.

 

I remembered you had tracking info. Figures!

 

What the F is this? You have got to be kidding me, it's freaking snowing out!

 

Plow just drove by and was spreading icemelt

 

That all fresh from yesterday?

 

Don't get me wrong I still hate the 6 months of cold weather BS we get here. But....



All rain down here.

 

Started as rain yesterday but turned to sleet then snow here

 

We have 7" of heavy wet snow and it's coming down hard.

 

Yup. 6" or more. Started last night abruptly. Still a tiny bit coming down.

 

I drove through some very different climate zones on the way to work today. It was raining where I live, I was screaming up 128 and it all changed at Waltham. It was all slush and crap from that point on and the left lane was not passible at speed. At my project in Lynnfield, there's 3-4" of snow/slush/crap. It's been switching from rain to snow all day, supposed to snow overnight also. The commute tomorrow will be interesting for sure...

 

Only rain here in Cranston today. It was snowing on my way to Chepachet though.
