What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Well I cancelled my trip to Hayward today. Almost all my 8 hour route up would have been through areas with blizzard warnings. I may be stoopid, but I'm not crazy....or is it the other way around?

 

Best part was NO phones for about an hour and half.

 

A stop in Potsdam on the way home so the girls can pick up something they need at the Northern Ice and Dance store.

Sergi's down the street has a small reserved parking sign out in front . What does it say.....? Reserved for thewoodlands !

 

Not awesome either here schlot. From the sounds of it you have more snow that way.

 

Getting some thunderboomers here today. Temp is supposed to fall off a cliff between now and tomorrow. High 70 today and high 35 with snow tomorrow.

 

Windy there too? School canceled?

 

Home! Unpacked first. Retrieved the retrievers second. Fed wife and kiddos a light lunch. Got fire going in boiler.

Good to be home.

 

Autocraft batteries suck, just replaced my dad's in his truck last night(few years old), then I went to fire the Camaro...New autocraft battery $140 this fall and nothing...Charger all day half a crank and vrooom! Lumpity lump! (Cam lope) perfect idle... SAT all winter on empty with e10

 

Another quick walk outside today. I was down by the dam in the "big city" and there was a slight rain off and on. I kept hearing thunder.? But I was doubting my hearing, it just didn't seem right. And it wasn't .


It turned out it was sheets of ice dropping over the dam on the far side. I missed getting a shot of any dropping over. But it was cool to see it and hear the "thunder".

 

toyota corolla. thing just keeps running and running!

Got home over an hour ago. Had a real nice visit/meal. About 8" here since we left this a.m. still coming down.

Driving was OK but the roads in Marquette were slick ice black snot slippery stuff and there is always that one idiot that thinks they know better than the rest and ends up involving at least one other car.....Saw about 4 of those accidents right in Marquette!

Went through a couple areas where there was a squall going on at the time but just slowed down and all was good.

 

Thanks...always stay safe!

 

Probably a good thing you did. Err on the side of caution....I get the feeling that the crowd up there this weekend are just not your normal common sense drivers!

 

Cold Pepsi going in. Time to move some more wood in today at some point. The colder temps will be returning sooner than later. Looks like rain most of the afternoon and evening so I will find some inside fun to do.

 

Made a trip over to a place that sells take off beds and other truck parts in western Ohio yesterday with my dad. I ended up getting a "cut cab" for my f350 Super Duty. I was going to buy cab corners, rockers and floor pans this spring. I bought everything I needed for 150.00.

Today is 4-H Shooting Sports registration, then I hope to get to work on a couple saws that have been waiting on parts and spare time.

 

Cool. What's a cut cab?

 

You're going to have to put these type of notices up just a bit earlier....

 

These are take offs from some .Gov conversion. They cut the windshield support about half way down and cut across the floor from rocker to rocker about three inches behind the door hinge support. Basically removing the firewall. I'll try to remember to post a pic later.

 

If you have the tools/ability, its sounds like a great score!
