I've always run them since I got my license when I was 16. I'm about 20 miles from the coast and end up in this 'mix' zone of all sorts of slippery snow, sleet, freezing rain. We also run them on wifey's Forster turbo which is phenomenal with them.

 

we can run them but they have to be off by certain month in early spring or you can get a ticket in VA!

 

Same thing here

 

Well gutters are cleaned out , 5 lbs of gravel from the shingles along with the leaves, the roof just moved up to spring replacement :{ On the upside it did not require any ER visits on the down side yeah several body parts are making their displeasure at climbing up and down a ladder and hoisting an electric blower up and around etc is not considered ok . Everyone else get what they wanted to accomplish done today and yes being a mushroom on the couch is an accomplishment. :}

How old is your roof? Mine is 16 yo and I have a lot of the gravel in my gutter

 

Can't run studded tires in Mn. Went to Costco this afternoon and they had a display setup with nothing but Blizzak tires and someone taking orders. It was tempting...

If I want to eat got no one to turn to except myself. I do miss sharing meals with someone.

Been awhile since I had steak, so I grilled one tonight. Costco ribeye but just choice grade. With Montreal Steak seasoning.



Target.



Resting



Tired of romaine salad and wanted something green but warm. Cut up a pound of bacon and cooked it. No I didn't drain it don't be silly. Added a pound of raw spinach to absorb the bacon grease. Cooked that down and threw in 2 lbs. of shrimp.



That worked with lots of left overs.

 

Edit: photos of food are making me hungry...

 

Yup... The gal at RiteAid no longer needs to ask me my name.

 

I hate filling it so wait until it is empty. Then fill it that morning plus set out the ones for that day. So I do it every 8 days instead of 7 which means the day I fill it changes every week. Which in itself can sometimes confuse me LOL.

 

Beer or Dark Red?

 

20 plus , if you can go up and take a look if not get a pair of binoculars and check for bare spots on the shingles IE missing the aggregate which I have and also splits / cracks in the tabs etc . asphalt / fiberglass roofs usually have 15 , 20 , 25 30 yr warranty . It does heavily depend on weather and installation etc. @Ret CB Chime in on where I am wrong :}

Yeah and you suck at cooking ever so much ...

LOL

Evening Everyone !!!!

 

Green leaf produce is starting to be harvested as we speak so all the good local stuff is just hitting the stores. I like to cut brussel sprout in half and throw those it hot bacon grease or wilt cabbage.

 

Shoot the owner the dog is just being a dog, don't blame them train them. And the corollary to that is you earn the dog you train....

Just water, I'm a lightweight anymore When I don't have to go to work the next day might be a different story.

And brain dead enough as it is LOL. Added some ice to my glass out of habit then went out to start the coals. After I dumped them turned around to get a drink of water and the glass was frozen pretty much solid.

 

I am going to go standing seam metal, back to the when it needs to be done again It will not be my problem or I won't even be aware of the need :}

Out at a crowded restaurant, friend and my wife took the 2 waiting chairs so I am at the bar having a chat with a beer

 

I was going to suggest that. Seems like most people around here are going with metal roofs now. One big benefit is snow just slides off. Or so they say...

 

It does they are used a lot you do need to put ice breakers and snow dams over doors and such or run the risk of catching a load of snow or ice one day. I like the standing seam as in my opinion and experience with simple over lap metal you will eventually get capillary action leakage. IE water being sucked in between the seams do to the temperature differences created by lapping the metal over , differential heating and cooling based on sun position and shade trees and so on.
