60+ year old thread.

Hi Carl.

 

No one up here will make a firm weather call, yet. It looks like we're in for at least some snow on Thursday, though. Sub-zero temps for us, too. Ugh.

 

I ordered the Firestones. My shop's tire distributor did not have the GY in stock. They should be installed tomorrow.

Today is just toast. I go to the gym and run 7 errands. Come home around 12:30 and get painting materials together for Friday, fix lunch then pick up a voice mail on the home phone. It was my son saying he forgot his gym uniform. Back to school and now waiting in the parking lot for an hour and a half.

 

Ah yes the joys of retirement Tom

 

Looks like you had one of those days as well. Did you end up buying a battery?

 

Cleaned the terminals and put on charge for an hour. Took the daughter to the doc's. Checked the voltage(static) and it was at 13.11 VDC. Connected the cables and guess whatshe was out of gas...didn't tell me that...After putting gas in, it started...charging at 13.79 VDC. told her to get gas, do not pass go until she does Just like her mother...

 

So the daughter got a free tank of gas from the dad. Just like 10 years ago I would assume.

 

evening boys

 

So we lost a young cop last night.. He had a wife & 3 lil kids. Over a motherfucking car burglary...this shit just gets harder & harder to understand... Man accused of killing deputy was suspect in Maryland burglary case

 

Evening all:
Unfortunate!
The good news is that "WE" don't have to support him for the next 50 yrs.

 

She just got a gas can full of gas...I'm retired and on a fixed income Tom

Evening Sue, ready for the snow/sleet/freezing rain/rain...We are supposed to get all of the above

Why even give the son of a bitch a trial...take him out back and hang him...I really feel for the officers family, 3 kids growing up without their Dad and we have to keep this asshole in the prison system with all the luxuries they are allowedis what he should get

 

The scumbag offed himself when the cops had him cornered... Only thing he did right

 

Quiet at the moment. icing supposed to start ~3 am. for snow and no ice

Come get it!!!

can't say I'm sorry for him

Yeah, right

As ready as I'll ever be.... me no likey ice on the trees & power lines

 

Sue! Snow is one thing, ICE is bad. You may have some experience driving on it, but I'm sure most of the people in your area don't have a clue and don't even have proper tires for storms like this.
Be careful if you have to drive anywhere!

 

Carl, not planning on going anywhere. i can drive on ice.. they mentioned the ice storm we had in '04. I drove to work, very slowly, and passed probably a dozen vehicles in the ditch... slow and steady Got to work and home no problems.

 

We are supposed to get between 4 and 8 inches of snow or sleet tonight. We shall see.

Slow and steady is the ticket for driving on ice. A lot of new 4WD owners think they are invincible on ice but soon learn differently.

 

Forgot to add we have 15° here this AM.

 

Morning, all!

-13 here this morning. Heading out to the spa in a few minutes. That should be an experience!!

We're going to get somewhere between 6 and 12 inches of snow starting early morning tomorrow. It's been an interesting winter - and I suspect we'll see more snow before it's over.

 

Morning all...11* here and clear for now...Last night the skid steers were out putting all the piles of snow that were left in the street from the last snow on to our front lawns to make room for the next round of snow...If this keeps up I'm trading in the Tacoma for a sled and dog team. Enjoy the spa Mark.

 

This kind of stuff really irritates me and seriously concerns me. Why? Because my son is a DPS State Trooper in Texas .... never know what kind of idiot he's going to run into.
