Power is a little safer here. Now. Stoopid can't get to the poles with their cars and truck unless they're really really really trying.
The driving is now like bumper bowling.

In a lot of places the mailboxes are just able to keep their heads above water. I saw a few yesterday that couldn't.
All lined up with only their faces sticking out and snow for two feet above. I should have stopped to take a picture.
Some of the drifts were above the passenger side window on the truck.

Love ya...fuck that

Well, There's the gas pedal, the brake pedal, the clutch pedal, the gear shift lever, the idle speed lever, the spark advance/retard lever, the fuel mixture screw, and the choke lever. And no synchro in the transmission.

Vroom.... i look prettier in the passenger seat

It is cool she has a grandpa and grandma that will love on her and spend time with her

Lucky granddaughter!

Why thank you! We had fun, but had to push the digging of the azalea off till today. Her attention span is only…this much…

We did get her Bamboo Orchid planted though. I even had an old pot with bamboo shoots etched in it! Now to get ready for the big snow. Basically have everything. Just need to get some essentials…half&half and coffee and the like. Have plenty of rocket fuel to us through…you know…the important stuff!

Everyone have a great day and have a wonderful start to the weekend…for those not in the snow zone! Those that are…hunker down and stay off the road.

Do u have to cut or just bundle and take over?
Is there a way someone can come take a load of wood to make it easier?

We do sell by the cord and by the half cord.

I don’t necessarily want people down on my farm yard taking wood. Unless I am there.

I built a farm stand where I can just chuck the wood from my pick up truck. It is an extra step, but it’s not that hard.

There are some real, serious and proper winter right there.

 

[subdudeme13]

Double clutch. Ahhhhh the good old days. Now I just get in select destination and press the go button and try to stay attentive

I never did get the double clutch thing down to well. I could grind gears with the best of them. Now my Kawasaki was something else.

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

Wat travels through with regularity.


He remembers Alvin York sometimes.


And Old Hickory . . . .

“York, why do you keep doing that thing to your front sight?”

“Cuts down the haze…”

I was thinking a "come at this time to pick up some wood" type situation. Didnt know if it would save time and energy.

It wood (get it?) if people wanted that much. I Have a huge sign, saying, we saw wood by the cord and half cord, but only a few people take me up on it).

I don’t mind it too much.

Sorry let me re read this . Hmmmmm it still doesn’t sound any better!

I got hearing aids, twice, worthless.

The Management keeps nagging me to get some. She has recognition issues. She doesn’t recognise I am not deaf just ignoring her!

I'm sitting at an outdoor coffee shop beside you, and your friend as we were talking, you two were telling me of how you lived in an apartment building in your own single apartments the more we were talking the more I was intrigued about seeing this apartment building I asked if I could go with you guys and you could show me your Apartments sure come along it's not fancy it's just an old four-story apartment building the closer we got to the apartment building the more I was starting to feel naughty as I started to notice you to checking out my bum all the time when we got to the apartment building I looked at you too and said if you'd like you can totally strip me naked you looked at me and said you're joking I said no go ahead strip me from my head to toe make sure I'm totally naked in no time you two had me totally naked right down to my bare feet I looked at you too and said what would work better you walk me through the building totally naked like this oh with you guys handprints one on each cheek of my butt red you told me to bend over and put my hands on the wall so I did without warning you slapped the cheek of my ass really hard leaving a red print on my butt I let out a slight scream just to have a hard smack on my other butt from your friend then I was ordered to put my hands on my head and walk into the building https://ibb.co/PGCDHXyn

And breathe…..

A few words of advice. Sentences max 12 words, paragraphs and cut the crap.

Oh and talking about nudity, bare asses with hand marks etc isn’t what we do there are plenty of places on Lit for that… Give me a good cookie recipe instead or tell me how amazing my dogs are.

Good luck

There is a very wide range of "normal" regarding behavior around here.

As a former teacher, tad may be the wrong adjective for my pedantry.

Caught up for the moment...
What's shakin, spoonies?

I don't know why failed executives continue to get recycled into other companies to fuck them up.

Right? You'd think their reputation would preceed them.

You live in the land of ice and snow!

Anyone else hear this to the cadence of:

Not a great boss!

Understatement!

Your... hair? That's what ppl are upset about? SMH

It’s coming my way - the cold, wind chill and stupid people. Stay inside and be warm!

I suffered the Tortures of The Damned trying to find a couple of grain shovels because actual snow shovels are out of the fucking question in Weaseltown. Not at the big box stores. There were two at the hardware store, so I bought both of them.

I hope that I caused Panic.

Don't forget your friends in the North could have shovels sent to you. I'm sure there's hardware or home stores up here w/ online sales that would ship to you.

I rode in a rumble seat.

They are so much fun!!

Torture.of.the damned=trip to walmart

Man, I saw people buying the shit-eating little packages of firewood at the hardware store. If this fucking storm sucks like all that, you'd need an entire fucking tree not to die of exposure.

Be better off lighting your paper money on fire at that rate.

Never misunderestimate Teh St000pid and the perils it brings.

Extreme weather brings out all manner of St000pid!! Watch your six, Wat!!

56 this morning going up to 77, good day for a walk on the beach.

Someone likes to live dangerously

Rub it in

See?

Check back with me in the summer when it is too F-ing hot and humid. Three digit temps and dewpoint in the 90s. Did I mention hurricanes with twisters and storm surge of 18'.

Fair

Back in Aught Eleven, we had that one here that damaged the Washington Monument. About 15 minutes later, I got a call from a Lit buddy in Texas to check on Wat and makes sure he warn't slewn. Killt. Whatever. That was in September. She died of a massive pulmonary hemorrhage in May of 2012, so that was the last time we ever spoke.

Sounds like a great friend! I'm so sorry for your loss

Same down here. I recall in basic training the DI telling us a hot cup of coffee helped you cool off because you sweated more. He was out in the hot sun as much as we were.

My auntie in Mississippi tried to float that one. I called BS - but it worked for her.

BTW beware of stupid ill prepared folks.

Two truths and a Zorro snap for this one!

As long as we don't lose power.
Fuck an ice storm.

That is what generators are for and a back up heating plan.

I’m always a little bit iffy about the VA.

Their prescription program is excellent and also if you need minor medical equipment, it’s quite good. The care? Not as much.

But it’s getting better

Play to their strengths and get those 2nd opinions when something feels off.

I'm civilian and have gotten a 2nd opinion once or twice. Have outright "fired" a practitioner and gone to someone else, too.

You're your best advocate in today's systems.

We dipped down to -11F last night. It's warmed up to -8F right now. Looks like it's coming back up based on the plot.
Oh, yeah, it's still snowing.

Old dog decided she didn't have to pee this morning. Have you ever hear a dog say "Fuck This!" without using words?
That was her. We'll try again at lunch time.

I think she's trying to learn to hibernate right now.

How many potted plants do you have inside the house?

My dad grew up in Maine. He had photos with snobanks as high as the tops of the street lights. No grain shovels for them... they had "The Scoop". Looked almost identical to this one:

Well, There's the gas pedal, the brake pedal, the clutch pedal, the gear shift lever, the idle speed lever, the spark advance/retard lever, the fuel mixture screw, and the choke lever. And no synchro in the transmission.

Most people fail at the clutch pedal.

While I can drive a modern stick shift car, I am thankful for the simplicity of my automatic every time I drive it.

Why thank you! We had fun, but had to push the digging of the azalea off till today. Her attention span is only…this much…

Yes, spending time with the wee ones is always a different headspace. Glad you had a good time with her!
Sounds like the perfect pot for your orchid - indoor pot, right? Orchids are hothouse flowers, are they not?

I don’t necessarily want people down on my farm yard taking wood. Unless I am there.

It is some white fluffy bullshit

You said it!

This is all getting curiouser and curiouser . . . and not in a good way.

Motherfucker x 3 . . . .

My BFF and I call this "using the ending"... as in TGIF is the common phrase and with the ending it is TGIF, MFers.
We discuss how many times on a Friday especially, said ending is needed. There's just something about Friday.
Sounds ominous, @Wat_Tyler

I will deliver such a sentence but it will be under protest, sir.
