The post whore thread.

[OtterbatHellcat]

How soon can you start?

[Great-Kazoo]

Wife made me smile.

I had one that made me smile. She asked for a divorce.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I'm being good. :)

[OtterbatHellcat]

If I gotta get a new ball mount, I might as well just get a distribution hitch set up...it'd be worth it.

[Great-Kazoo]

If I gotta get a new ball mount, I might as well just get a distribution hitch set up...it'd be worth it.

Too bad. I have one sitting here in the trailer.

[OtterbatHellcat]

What, an ex wife, or a tow hitch?

[OtterbatHellcat]

I kid, I kid.

I had a distribution set up at one time, don't know what the hell happened to it.

[Fentonite]

There?s a Big R right by my house.

That would save me from having to go down to Colfax to pay for chicks.


One of the girls that works there looks just like Anna Kendrick.

A girl that works Colfax looks like Anna Kendrick? I must be one wrong end of Colfax.

Never saw it, but now I might. That’s funny.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Years ago I could do a spot on impression. I don't remember the movie being all that good, but there were some snl bits that were really funny to me.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Yep, I can say honestly.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Brutal might be waking up anytime now.

[OtterbatHellcat]

In light of upcoming events, I really need to get my truck as finished as possible before June 1. That aspect really does affect other things that are, or should be in play. I gotta bust a move on the gearing and drivetrain stuff and get the interior wrapped up. Get those nerf bars done and find someone to fab that lightbar I want.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Ordered my equalizer stuff from Curt, and I'll try not to lose it this time.

[OtterbatHellcat]

If anyone else saw it, I liked Andy's message tonight.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Three Stooges...

Still funny in 2019.

Equal-izer 4 way with sway control.

Unless you wanna drop stupid money on a Hensley.

[brutal]

Brutal might be waking up anytime now.

Crawled into bed at 0630.

I was woken at 0730, though I was not fully asleep.

Then again at 0930.

Fuck.

Alarm at 1300, but I dozed off again till around 3.

Now, I'm tired again and need to get my ass to be, especially after loosing an hour 10 minutes ago.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hey man....I thought it was 2:00 am switch.

Still retarded whenever it was.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Yeah, that's what you said...duh. I'm tired too.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Equal-izer 4 way with sway control.

Unless you wanna drop stupid money on a Hensley.

The Curt I got has a sway control. Never had one of those before. I'll skip the self tapping screw hardware and bolt it proper.

[OtterbatHellcat]

#17063

[brutal]

The Curt I got has a sway control. Never had one of those before. I'll skip the self tapping screw hardware and bolt it proper.

Those chain sway units don't allow backing.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Oh...I don't want fucked up backing.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Get out and pull the pin off it and good to go I assume?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Those chain sway units don't allow backing.

Ah, this model is solid bar.

[brutal]

Ah, this model is solid bar.

17063 shows a round bar with chains and "does not allow backing."

Very few of the chain attach WD hitches allow backing. The flat or taper bar/sliders allow backing and provide sway control without any extra BS parts.

Don't mean to be a dick, but I would send it back, spend more and get a 4-way WD/sway.

[brutal]

P.S. I'm not knocking Curt, I have an A25 (25K) Curt Fifth wheel hitch in my truck and love it.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Are you talking about these?

[OtterbatHellcat]

No Dick….we're cool. I've had a similar set up to what I ordered and had no problems backing.

I'll look into your recommendation...I figure I can cancel the order I made soon enough if I change my mind. Thanks for your input.

[brutal]

No, and LOL at $500 worth of chains. I use some Andersen jack blocks and levelers, but think their hitch products are pure shit. Seen pics of their fifth wheel hitch all bent to shit after a panic stop or minor accident.

Is this what you ordered? https://www.etrailer.com/Weight-Distribution/Curt/C17063.html

Read the specs.

[brutal]

night PWT crew.

[OtterbatHellcat]

G'nite Brutal.

Yeah that's the set up. I never undid the tension to back up with the system I had before, but then I never put myself into a situation that required radical angles in reverse. Might have broken something in that case I suppose.

I'll keep what I ordered, and keep my wits about me while towing.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I figure to say goodnight to the ho-nation as well now too.

I milked this Saturday night with extreme efficiency. Sure, tomorrow (today) will suck more later on when I wake up, but what the hell.

I'll be dead in 25 years from now, and nothing that happened today will have mattered in the least.

[ChickNorris]

It would be a disservice if the house didn't smell like bacon this morning.

[ChickNorris]

Got the outdoor range situation sorted yet again.

[ChickNorris]

Still waiting on my custom steel & stands.

[ChickNorris]

Decided I need to set up a new belt for production.

[ChickNorris]

Can't wait to 'summerize' the plow.

I'm ready now & tired of dragging the thing around.

[ChickNorris]

Someone vandalized my neighbor's 'little free library'. I don't care for them but still... Not cool.

[ChickNorris]

Offered to rebuild the door & left side. Wish the lady hadn't got all weepy about it though.

[ChickNorris]

While Ive got everything out to measure & cut, I'm going to prep a vtac wall & a second smaller outdoor rifle rack.

[ChickNorris]

For the rack I'm going to use wee bits of left over trex ends. Built a few of them now with this material. Works well.

[ChickNorris]

Yay bacon. Hoh hon.

[ChickNorris]

2 weeks of more waiting for my favorite competition of the season to start.

It's a wild bird rodeo outside. Flickers, Robins & Jays all fussing about the hierarchy. Noisy crew.

Waiting for the squirrel who I saw in trespass yesterday.

The aforementioned witnesses will know who's tree it isn't.

One of the things i miss from CO, birds. Down here a different cycle when they come & go. This winter mostly robins, sparrows, owls and a semi visiting golden eagle. I think the raven is NAZ's state bird .

[ChickNorris]

There's a murder that lives near me year round. 50 or so fly over & briefly visit my large tree near daily on their way home from wherever they go. I call & crackle to them & they call & crackle back. I've found random knickknacks on my porch & think I've made a few friends over the years.

;) we found a few bones and other items around the property. Wondering who was throwing shit over the fence. Till we saw one of them flying over with who knows what.

A dozen + pines, cypress and pinion on the property, 1/2 then are inhabited by ravens. Hoping to build a nesting box for one of the old power poles behind the shop. Want to try attracting one of the nesting owls from across the way, a hawk, or better yet. That Golden who pays us a visit.

[Great-Kazoo]

off to the big box for lumber to start running stringers around the shop.





.

[Great-Kazoo]

YEAH! APS crew was here friday to run line from pole to new panel on shop. Came down the road from MV after lunch and saw a few trucks out front. Gate open and no dogs in site! The "neighbor" from down the road saw the aps guys, put the dogs up and let the power guys on site.

[ChickNorris]

Speaking of birds, there is a Flicker that loves our neighbor's mediterranean faux iron chimney cap... full auto bird.

I'll have you know their beaks free float to prevent drain bama dama bamage ; )

We named it Ferrous.

[ChickNorris]

Funny because we don't love that neighbor near as much as Ferrous.

Karma maybe? Giggle.

[ChickNorris]

Yay for good neighbors & Ferrous for bad ones.

[SideShow Bob]

You wouldn’t love that pecker if it were your house he was pecking on........
I’ve one of those that has a date with...... well just say he needs gone ASAP.

[ChickNorris]

Um, err... my previous post ...

Snicker

[ray1970]

I?ve had to defend my property several times from stupid woodpeckers.

I was slow once and they bored a hole the size of my fist through my siding.

Also had one that liked to hammer on my plumbing vent cap as well. First I thought it was one of the neighbors using an impact or something.

[ChickNorris]

I had a neighbor blame me once for the noise from a metal-pecker. I kindly pointed out that I don't make it a habit to work on rooves for free at dawn.

[OtterbatHellcat]

NAZ.

I'm going to put some bat houses up, who doesn't like bats living in the back yard? An Owl living on property, or visiting frequently would be super bad ass.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I honestly have zero patience for any wood pecker.

[Great-Kazoo]

Some Woodpeckers are a protected species in CO.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Shhhh.

Gamo Whisper 22.

You know, just to scare em off.

[SideShow Bob]

That is just it, by the time I get into position to scare it off I startle it and it flys away. And no matter how long I wait in concealment or how early I get to concealment it comes back after I give up waiting or won’t come until I get too cold and give waiting for it.

I was thinking about one of these, but then I would have to buy a ladder tall enough to install it near where the pecker is doing the damage.

https://www.wildlifecontrolsupplies.com/animal/WCSAS-S.html

[Irving]

How tall of a ladder? Can you hang it from the roof?

[SideShow Bob]

How tall of a ladder? Can you hang it from the roof?

It needs to be under the eave, about 6” of the wall. I need to invest in the ladder anyway to o the damage repair, so it is use a matter of time before I get one.

Are those little giant type of ladders any good for approximately 18’ working height ? I was thinking of the one Harbor Frieght has on sale for $100.

[Irving]

I've got a 15' and I love it and it gets used the most. However those folding ladders get heavy in a hurry when they start getting longer. I wouldn't have any concerns working on it.

What brand, if you don’t mind me asking.

[Irving]

Mine is a Cosco and someone gave it to me. I think the big name ladders like Little Giant and generally regarded as quality. I've seen the one at Harbor Freight and while I haven't used one, just looking at it doesn't seem like anything is wrong with it.

Of course. Who wouldn't pick the highest point & loudest instrument to broadcast such an important announcement?


...unless you've been there, you can't imagine the ruckus that makes inside the house.

Damndest thing to figure out when you don't already know WTF it is.

Oh I'm aware.

That's why I'm just tickled it likes this particular neighbor's house. I'd send the bird a muffin basket if I thought it would be encouraging, er um helpful I mean. Yeah, I meant helpful.

[ChickNorris]

What brand, if you don’t mind me asking.

Dang if I can't remember the brand I had... PSA if you opt to pick up a used one that's a bit older just make sure it was never part of a recall. Mine was newish at the time but I didn't know about the recall & it nearly killed me.

Broke me proper, so keep that in mind... ; )

[Great-Kazoo]

What a nice day, picked up a trailer load of lumber early this morning. Tooling up the road, through a traffic circle and i feel this odd wheel hop. Next thing i know, over a loud speaker i hear HEY YOU GOT A FLAT TIRE. Jeep pulled up alongside me to lmk what was happening .


No spare for the new / used trailer. Up to the house and back 1 hr round trip, with tools a spare off the other trailer etc. Floor jack kept for roadside emergencies doesn't work . Pull trucks jack from storage, change out tires. Trailer we used has 14" tires, spare from other trailer, 15" Luckily same bolt pattern.

Casual trip to town and back turns in to 1/2 day ordeal.

The upside is, I Got Wood ;)

[SideShow Bob]

[QUOTE=Great-Kazoo;2202144The upside is, I Got Wood ;)[/QUOTE]

I’d bet Mrs. Kazoo is happy to hear that..........[ROFL1]

[OtterbatHellcat]

Bummer Kazoo. That stuff is never fun for sure.

[OtterbatHellcat]

IIRC.... measure from the outside of one wheel stud, to the center of the second one over from it, and start carrying a spare.

I didn't really want to blow $130 on a spare, but I did.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Co has 2500 avalanches a year? That seems strikingly high to me, but, if it's on the news...it's gotta be true.

Goodnight everyone, hope we have a good week.

Currently 75 degrees outside and supposed to be around 85 this afternoon. Apparently everything isn?t bigger in Texas. The winters are obviously much smaller.

Its not technically his camper GK. He's helping someone if I remember correctly.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I'd like to. I don't even have a truck lined up yet.

I remember you borrowed the truck. I think they'll understand special circumstances due to the bad weather rolling in on that day I figure.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Went back to bed around 7:00 and slept til noon almost. I'll be good for tomorrow I think.

Yep, same. No evening activities either.

moved 10 yards of mulch from the alley into the yard, spread it, then went for a motorcycle ride. And then there’s tomorrow.

moved 10 yards of mulch from the alley into the yard, spread it, then went for a motorcycle ride. And then there’s tomorrow.

And down here, too much rain/ dampness to work in a sparsely heated garage.

That's enough mulch to cover half your back yard (even though I've never seen it).

[OtterbatHellcat]

moved 10 yards of mulch from the alley into the yard, spread it, then went for a motorcycle ride. And then there’s tomorrow.

Yeah, but if it is a wet heavy snow, it'll pack all down real nice for ya.

[Fentonite]

That's enough mulch to cover half your back yard (even though I've never seen it).

It covered most of one half. We’ll get the other 10 yards when it warms/dries up again. Tired of the dogs tracking in mud, and artificial turf is too expensive, so we’re just putting down playground mulch over the whole yard.


Yeah, but if it is a wet heavy snow, it'll pack all down real nice for ya.
I thought that exact thing.

[buffalobo]

Thunderstorm passing over da hood. Good light show.[AR15]

Kinda early for t-storm, last time(several yrs ago) we got 3/4" of rain over night, temp dropped about 15? wind started blowing and 14" of snow fell, power was out 3 days, drifts asshole deep and 30-50yds wide.[panic]

I've got photos of March 22, 2016 that looked like today, then March 23, 2016 we had 9" of snow.

I think they messed it up, and it's too late to reel it in. (for Denver metro I mean specifically)

Along with all the other things I'm not, professional meteorologist is one of those. We'll see.

[brutal]

Wife's scheduled flight back into DIA tomorrow from FL got cancelled early. She could have made it in today if not for the d*ckhead at the AA counter in Panama City, FL airport that didn't know how to change a flight.

Now she's scheduled in Thursday instead.

That said, I told her to check with AA first thing in the morning so she could make changes, but NOOO, she waits until they cancel her flight mid day, then decides to show up at the airport to try to make the last flight out.

[OtterbatHellcat]

That sucks, Brutal.

[OtterbatHellcat]

HA!!

31 is now saying 5 for Denver, and even less than that for western suburbs.

I looked at some maps on ncar and surface/altitude wind maps ….stuff wasn't lookin' right. I hope it's even less than that for in town.

That said, it still could be shitty for the high terrain and out on the plains.

[WillysWagon]

Is the wind at your place out of the east at 5 to 10 mph right now?

[Irving]

At least Panama City, FL isn't the worst place to be. It's not home though.

[wyome]

Lil bit of rain down here in the Rock

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hey Wyome.

[wyome]

Hey OBC

[OtterbatHellcat]

Do you have west wind at near 10 mph right now?

Radar updates every 15 minutes, but it's always 15 minutes behind what's over your house at the time.

I'm trying to figure out the refresh rate for the other maps.

[OtterbatHellcat]

At 11:07, I should have been in bed over an hour ago.

[WillysWagon]

Don't know about wind speed, but we do have light blowing rain with snow mixed in.
Least it looks like snow on the outside camera.

Works closed for me tomorrow.
I hit the range today, it was like 60 degree's :)

[wyome]

TV news showed flag in limon, wind picking up big time out there

[OtterbatHellcat]

Okay, thank you.

If I'm getting the other maps timing figured out, you should have wind from the southeast now a little bit stronger.

I gotta go to bed, G'nite everyone.

Even better. She's in Panama City Beach.

That said, she's kinda sick of hanging with her mom and her old friends for 10 days.

More sad, she goes out every year to spend time with her mom during the anniversary of her Dad's passing. It's still tough for both of them. Wife was there when it happened (scheduled heart surgery) and ended up staying for a month. Tough time.

[ChickNorris]

Practice pistol, rifle or both?

Rifle. Weather permitting, 11 more days. Really looking forward to it too.

[Irving]

I bet. As you know, Panama City Beach is where I spent half the hurricane last year. It's nice enough, but not to over come heart break or general family related sadness.

Good plan...Indian tacos?

Never tried them.

[wyome]

What do you get from there? Just breakfast burritos?

[ChickNorris]

Historically, yes. Should I try the tacos today instead?


Are they available for breakfast?

[SideShow Bob]

Though the Indian tacos are tasty, don?t tempt fate on this morning of Snowmageddon III, stick with tradition.

[ChickNorris]

I don't get your meaning exactly... but I'm in complete agreement for this day. Traditional it is.

[Irving]

Indian tacos are good, but they aren't grab and go like the burritos.

Indian tacos are fork and knife material

Well, Channel 4 news has named this a "Bomb Cyclone"
The morning anchors think a drink should be named after it, like Hurricanes in New Orleans.

The prediction is for Hurricane Force 2 winds on the eastern plains, hence cyclone.
WTF?

Left the trailer in Limon in anticipation of this storm. Bet it's going to fucking blow over.

Not with the way it is snowing and blowing in Aurora. But, I hope you are right so I don’t to have to go back to work this evening and clear snow.

[wyome]

Limon....ewwwww

[ChickNorris]

I hope it doesn't.

[SideShow Bob]

I hope it doesn't.

Guess I misread Irving’s comment, I hope the storm blows over, not his trailer.......[Tooth]

[Irving]

That makes way more sense.

Hey Bob, do you have a truck that can tow that trailer? Can I borrow it for the same price that Enterprise or someone would charge?

[buffalobo]

That makes way more sense.

Hey Bob, do you have a truck that can tow that trailer? Can I borrow it for the same price that Enterprise or someone would charge?Bumper pull?

[Irving]

Yeah, 33'. I think 6,500lbs dry weight. Maybe assume 8,000lbs to be safe?

[SideShow Bob]

That makes way more sense.

Hey Bob, do you have a truck that can tow that trailer? Can I borrow it for the same price that Enterprise or someone would charge?

If you can wait for Sunday afternoon, pay for the gas and top me off when done, I can help you out. You?ll just need the ball & pin and a GM plug adaptor.

[Irving]

Rescheduled appointment to April 3rd. I'll figure out how early I can drop off and we'll see what we can do. Of course gas and top off. I figure you guys with trucks already set-up to tow are a better bet than renting something from Enterprise and not knowing for sure.

I called Home Depot to ask them and the dumb kid on the phone told me that I have to buy my own hitch and their brakes are only "wired." I think what he meant was I'd have to supply my own ball and they don't have electric brakes wired in.

[wyome]

Hey Chick...tks for the heads up on the F1 show on netflix... love f1 racing, and this is great for binge watching today

Mine is just a 1/2 ton and no trailer brake unit. I don’t know if that will work for a trailer that size. I only used it for some utility trailers without brakes.

[Irving]

That's what I used to get it out there and we had to buy a load distributing hitch and brakes and everything. 1/2 ton is too small even with all that stuff.

[SideShow Bob]

Bumper on the ground, bumper on the ground, looking like a fool with your bumper on the ground.......

[ChickNorris]

Hey Chick...tks for the heads up on the F1 show on netflix... love f1 racing, and this is great for binge watching today

You're welcome.

If you haven't watched it already there's also a feature length documentary on Netflix about Ayrton Senna. Back before halos & when the steering wheel only had 3 buttons AND it was a stick shift AND just 6 gears...

[Irving]

Bumper on the ground, bumper on the ground, looking like a fool with your bumper on the ground.......

Nice reference!

What I liked was that I heard his voice singing it while I read it

[SideShow Bob]

Nice reference!

If it would have worked, I would help you out especially with the Apr. 3 deadline. I could still go along for moral support if needed.

[brutal]

Hope you make it!

I don't think that's what he meant by blow over.

[Irving]

Thanks everyone. I realize that it's two hours each way and that's a lot of Irving to deal with.

[brutal]

Irving,

I'm going to break two cardinal rules and offer you the use of my 3/4T Diesel if you wanna hoof it down to Parker.

Rule 1. Don't let anyone else drive my truck (there are currently 3 exceptions for emergency use).
Rule 2. No good deed goes unpunished.

Of course standard rules apply. You break it, you buy it (less known issues of which there is only 1)

I tow 16K with it, so I think it'll handle your bumper pull. It's bagged but you'll still need that WD/sway hitch.

https://i.imgur.com/EhZRDCR.jpg

[Irving]

I have the bars for the WD hitch and the ball stored at the trailer itself. Do you already have a WD hitch?

Let me make sure everything is ready before I jump on offers, but I very much appreciate it.

[wyome]

Always wondered how you take turns with those setups. Swing wide at the beginning and pray?

[SideShow Bob]

Bump, bump... Passenger: What was that ?..... Driver: Glances at the side view mirror Eh, nothing, just a Mazda.....

[buffalobo]

Am east of 470 on 56th headed East, sitting here wondering what sort of stupid shit is going on in front of me and why the traffic has stopped.

Sure hope these morons don't get me stranded.

Bars are very much unique to the hitch brand.

I do have a Fastway 2-point WD hitch I used to pull my boat behind my old fifth wheel, but I'd need to take the brackets off the boat trailer and it would need to be setup properly on yours.

The WD hitch head should just be a head attached to a receiver drop hitch that slides into the receiver.

Do you have any pics or details of what you have?

Here's a fastway for reference. Similar to an Equal-i-zer 4-point. The fastway bars just pop into the head, the EQ 4-point bars are held in with bolts that apply pressure to help more with sway control. Either one also applies enough pressure at the bar to bracket joint to help reduce some sway, but the 2-point isn't significant.

Double pull?

Easy peasy, the rear swings out a bit and the boat follows. Think truck pulling trailer, trailer pulling boat.

Swing wide, sure, but no praying necessary. In fact, it's more likely to clip someone in the next lane if it's too tight, than to curb it. That actually happened once with my 2 place jetski trailer turning from Crowfoot Valley Rd to Founders pkwy.

The guys pulling the monster 40+ rigs have more to worry about with their tail swing than my little double tow.

[Irving]

Thanks for the reminder. This is what I have. I'm going to drive out there and make sure that I've got everything. I'm pretty sure I pulled that off the truck before we left and stored at the trailer.

BTW, setting one of these up for permanent use should include a trip to the scales, but can be done in the field without.

Just measure the front and rear fender to tire gap on the truck, get the hitch-trailer setup level, and try to get it back to a similar wheel gap after hooking up and putting the bars on. If you bend a bar or bracket, you probably overdid it or need a bigger hitch. :-)

Since I have bags, I'd air those down while setting up the hitch, then air them back up just to firm the rear up a bit (since I don't have the 3500 overload springs).

That said, I really need to order the onboard air system for my bags so I don't have to use the bicycle pump.

Exactly what I already have too, maybe different weights? I don't recall if mine is 8K or 10K, I'd have to look.

[Irving]

I should have pulled everything. If I didn't I'm going to kick myself.

I'm just going to work some more hurricanes and buy a truck to tow all of the things.


I don't actually own any of the things, but whateves.

Maybe something like this. http://about.rebeloffroad.com/rebelzilla/

[Irving]

Pretty sure I asked DFBrews if he could build me one of those a few years ago. He assured me that for $100,000 it shouldn't be a problem. http://about.rebeloffroad.com/rebelzilla/#prettyPhoto[album-1]/31/

Morons, wadded up several vehicles and blocked road. Gotta turn around and find another way home.

Gonna be adventure.

[wyome]

No adventures here on the couch.... fireplace works, Netflix is on....I can go a few more days at this pace if I have too

[Irving]

About to run to the liquor store, for business, if they are open.

[ChickNorris]

Im craving a chicken dish I don't have all the ingredients for in the house... off to the store.

[wyome]

All the family is snowed in all over the area....looks like just me n the dogs tonight

[Irving]

Liquor store was not open. I got all bundled up so I drove up my street for fun and ended up spending a long time pulling a delivery driver out of the gutter.

[brutal]

Just through a frozen roast in the Instapot.

[brutal]

Had to reset power to my doorbell. The rapid outages caused it to hang on a WiFi IP acquisition.

I need to go put a momentary NC push button switch on the transformer power output for shit like this.

[Fentonite]

Power out again. I’m going to the bar.

[wyome]

No one making fun of TV weather ppl now....hmmmm

Im at the store.. all your birds dry out Irving?

[wyome]

Pick up some milk, tp, and Dots from the candy aisle for me plz

[Irving]

Yeah, they are looking a lot better. I opened the door back up in case they want to go out into the wind and snow.

[Irving]

Looking through old photos and found this one. This is the top of a 40' ladder. If I remember correctly, I also had it shimmed as the alley was not level. Super fun stuff. Those days are mostly over now.

Wish you were around when i was in the gutter.

[Irving]

I don't own enough chain to have pulled you out of where you were stuck.

[buffalobo]

5 1/2 hours later, still 18 miles from home.

Geeze, sorry you're stuck out there.

Good thing Mrs bo insisted I put my go bag in truck last night. Using up old stale snacks and water.

[ChickNorris]

Not any closer to home?

[ChickNorris]

Wyome, did you finish drive to survive?

[MrPrena]

Just received text and email from school district.
No school tomorrow for my kid.

He's probably shoveling a path for the hobo in the lot next door.

[earplug]

Bored enough to dry fire a AR today. Software grounded F22's, caused blackouts and crashed facebook. What could go wrong with voting and a big ass airplane?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Ya'll keep posting, so I have to keep catching up.

Those bozos actually got it right on this storm...gotta say. I had to try and make a run out to dia today around 11:00 am, and never made it. Turned around with my supervisor and tried 56th...effed. Just went back to the facility we left from, and it took three hours.

The snow totals were accurate for what they said on 31 last night at 10:00 pm.

[wyome]

Wyome, did you finish drive to survive?

Almost done...I had to knock out a killer nap

btw, Pena wasn't bad snow wise, neither was 56th....visibility was the problem. Along with a bus and a tractor trailer wrecking near Tower I heard.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Anyone ever heard of an unrated/uncut directors version of The Blues Brothers?

[ray1970]

Clue me. I can?t see the snow from where I?m working. Will it pretty much be melted off by the weekend?

[MrPrena]

Plowed about 6:30pm. Took about 20-25 minutes with 2 people.

[SideShow Bob]

Well,
The snow blower never had a clogged chute, so the mod was a success. But even at the slowest speed it would either stop dead from pushing a slush berm, or ride up on top of the 3 inches packed wet snow that is underneath 6 - 8 inches on top. So, 2 - 3 passes to get to the pavement or only a 10 inch wide path after the initial full width multiple pass to pavement.
What pain in the ass wet snow. Took twice as long to clear just my driveway.


G-night folks, got to be in at 0300 to clear snow so all the office wieners don’t get their Gucci loafers dirty walking into the building.

[Irving]

Yeah. Screw it, I'm going normal time to plow. This sheet is going to melt off pretty fast anyways, but gotta do it anyways. It helps when nobody at your work wears "loafers".
