I miss all the good threads until after the lock. [oops][NunChaku]
I was wondering if that was going to happen. We were getting some power dips here at the house earlier. Lights were flickering and my home office UPS was clicking to keep everything constant.Quote:

My Pandora isn't working.
Ughhhhh anyone else having trouble sleeping lately?
Yeth.
Ray is probably right in his assessment the other day.
I was supposed to get my propane delivery today...no call, no show.
It was also disappointing to find out that an item I've purchased before not that long ago, was 5 for $25.....is now 5 for $75.
Nope. Been working on some remodel stuff for days and shoveled the driveway and sidewalk so when bedtime rolls around I?m out like a light until the morning.Quote:

Sloppy snow. pita.
Fukkin blizzard. Power was out for about 3 hours and coming on to dusk so I headed out in blizzard to drag generator out of storage. Got it into shop checked oil and fuel, grabbed connection cords and started over to house. As soon as I go thru gate into yard power comes back on.
Really liking how quiet the inverter generator we bought for camp trailer is.
Glad to hear the power came back on. If you didn't move on the generator, it probably would have been out longer. ;-)
At least the ground was warm enough that it melted quite a bit of the snow on the pavement. Shoveling this morning wasn't too bad.
Irving, I'm going to have Netflix on the TV, YouTube on 1 monitor, Amazon Prime on a 2nd monitor, and Pandora running in the background, just for you. Whatever my wife is also doing for work will just be a bonus. Sure am glad I upgraded my Internet plan a couple of months ago.

I got him out with the little Toyota and told him to come back today with chains. Haven't seen him yet. I don't think he's real bright. He could have come earlier in the day at 8 inches, then again later to charge us twice. I'm happy to pay him to save wear and tear on my old Toy.
This pic is before I started the Toro, and we got another 6-7" by dark.

We've been lucky with electric service this time. We often loose electricity during storms like this.
I have an older Honda 5k as well that I use on job sites. Kinda loud compared to newer 5k I have for the house.
I loaned the 2k inverter gen to neighbors to run furnace during outage. They offered to buy it when they returned it. Mrs bo laughed and said hell no, it is the only generator she can start by herself.
The 2k inverter gen won't run AC unit in camp trailer but can be paralleled with another to do so.
One of the buyer from ebay just purchased something at around 4:20ish.
Packaged the 46x10x10 box, bubble wrap individual clubs , and drove to fedex. Dropped it off and came home at
4:39. :)
Can you tell the wind blew hard during the storm.
Pic from last nite.

Hate living on a corner lot, shoveling shit like this is ridiculous. Did the driveway and in front of my house and said screw the street walk.
Snow? What's this snow thing about? [Coffee]
In other news, I've heard rumor that Junction's historical high-volume gun store (A+ Pawn Shop) and whatever future iterations they ran under is in some deep doo doo over something in the order of 2,700 guns missing. Apparently it's Wilcox Sr. that's in heat, Jr. is not in the vice over this one. It's been a long time since I mosied up that way but Jimmy was always nice (jr). My info is fairly credible, but biased hearsay, there's been a lot of family drama there lately.

Sorry about A+Pawn. The lady did a quick, efficient and easy transfer for me a couple years ago. They had a huge inventory of AR's. I was there recently and what a mess! They needed a fire sale. I predict it will all see a bulldozer very soon.
From my understanding the sister left and started a new gun store on Orchard Mesa which may be short lived. (jr's) wife is rumored to be securing an FFL to reopen at the original location under their operation. It's always been chaotic there back in my memory, but that was back when Jr. was running it. I've also heard that the sister was suing Jr while they shared the same premises, but supposedly lost that case. Even considering the reliable source, that last bit to me is speculation, without actually seeing pleadings.Quote:

Listed for fair price relative to out of stock normal price at sportsmans/cabelas.
Now, as I mentioned before. There is one firearm that I want to buy from TP, but I am going to wait out the queue to drop to normal after this panic buying craziness.
I just saw a TP and one of the firearm I wanted to get is SPF. Still rather wait till check queue drops down. :(
So, if you play with it too much you will need new batteries sooner.
Just saying.
our local range is still open. If they close it the way to open land was washed out by the week + of rain we had..
Coincidence. Nah, consipiracy. [tinhat]Quote:

Can a person fall asleep on a couch watching tv twice in 3 hours?
The person had full 7.5 hours of sleep.
yes they can. Worse it trying to get up out of the recliner @ 3 in the a.m when you're too tired to get up. Then lay in bed another hour unable to fall asleep.Quote:

That doesn't sound much fun.
