    Lol. A couple Summers ago, the wife and I were in Williams, California staying at a hotel in route to fly back to Wisconsin through Sacramento. We ran out of booze, so I hit the local market and bought a random bag of stuff to drink by the pool. 3 or 5 varieties of 4loco ended up in that grab bag. None of those flavors we're good.

    I've never tried it, don't want to. Beerish equivalent to Boone's Farm. But the Mtn. Dew flavor ........ hmmmm.:emb:

    All of the flavors of 4loco we tried had this odd aftertaste. Malt liquor does that most times, but over in a while you find a good flavor. Those lime-a- Ritas and such are tasty.

    Is this what you mean? If so it sounds great, but no alcohol is in it.
    Mountain Dew rolling out spiked lemonade, but there's a catch

    :picard:I honestly didn't know they were introducing a new thing. I was just being a jackazz. And now I'm intrigued....
    What's it going to be, a new "energy drink"? The ingredients sound fairly tasty.

    Question: I am running Windows 10 and the last few days my computer is driving me nuts. It is acting like it is running all the time in the background and stops to buffer all time so you will be typing and nothing happening on the screen and then zip it is all there. I changed the battery in the mouse thinking it was the wireless but it is doing the same thing to the keyboard as well. I haven't change the battery in key board though. When scrolling through the threads, it stalls and then loads quickly. I don't have a lot of windows open at the same time and really haven't been doing anything different lately. While writing this post, it has stopped and buffered four times.

    Caffeine going in. I have to run my son to basketball practice early this morning. Thankfully that is only once a week they practice then. No gym time after school apparently.

    This morning I’ll work inside the house for a while and get some chores done for the wife while she is at work. After it warms up a bit, I’ll clean up the rest of the snow with the tractor. I didn’t take care of the road going back to camp or the driveway in front of detached garage yesterday. It’s also time to bring more firewood in today.

    ah, cool. I knew it had to be GM, but the coil springs told me not a full fledged truck. I almost forgot about the avalanche.

    Well you did that job right. It's just too bad they don't make them from stuff that won't rust.....

    Good morning, 18 out of doors with coffee..was 60 indoors when I woke up this morning..furnace blower didn't want to start...just the dreaded click and hum.
    Was able to get it spinning/blowing by taking a cover off, holding the "safety switch" with my thumb and spinning it by hand until it took off...
    Not a furnace guy at all but thinking/hoping it's a capacitor. Got it set to run wide open and not cycle..
    This was not on my "to do" list today...

    Monin folks... :coffee:... I left the 4" of snow we got yesterday, with the last of it rain... alone. I'd much rather have a crust on top of powder to clean up today... than having done it yesterday causing an ice skating rink from the rain and freeze up... every time... :dancer:... it works most of the time. I did have one that got away from me (lots of rain) and I was left with solid deep concrete... :picard:... no prob this time.

    Well winter has found us and it’s snowing pretty good right now. Just got to the first farm of the day and it was a nice slippery ride!

    Check down by your clock. Got a lot of lil' icons there? There are so many apps that open with windows that many people never pay attention to, many are resource hogs.

    Temperature a little colder this morning so the dogs didn't want to come on the walk.

    Ran a virus scan twice last night. Apparently it didn't find any threats. I checked my icons down by the clock and there doesn't seem to be anything different. What is Hotkey Utility?

    I see 8" forecast for us today. Snowing now but the flakes are not that big so that amount seems doubtful unless it changes.

    Thanks it was a 35mph day here... I went over that once! It’s been a realllly snowy white out condition.

    For your entertainment

    North Star MI to ST johns took 1.5hrs and that’s a 30 minute drive normally!


    Everybody stay safe it’s really letting loose here! Might not look like much but that’s what stuck the last 3 hrs and it’s still coming down full force. Plows can’t keep up right now and the roads are terrible!

    Hoping the wife gets home safe......
