    No, not here, but I will be more careful. Twice now. Once I signed into FB when looking at a new phone. I shut it down and thought all was fine until some Explicit stuff popped up. Once I changed my password, that stopped. Of course I was the butt of a lot of kidding for a while.

    Plowing a few lots today. The snow is sporadic since it's lake effect. The lake is wide open and relatively warm so it's possible to get 3-4" in one spot and nothing 2 miles down the road.

    We must have an easy 10" of white stuff. Heavy slush is the base which makes for miserable work.

    Did 3 neighbors and my own drives, the auger on my blower clogged up, not the chute. First for me, but I wasn't throwing stuff far and trying not to clog.

    Final cleanup in an hour. One neighbor needs a bit more help so car clearing plus shovelling might take me another hour total.

    And then, I have some Guinness calling my name.

    Say it isn't so! Giving up a Phazer? I cut my snowmobile teeth riding one in NW Wisconsin many moons ago.

    If I could I would!

    Always thought that Phazers were a well balanced sled...nice for trail riding and enough oomph for the lakes.

    Most people don't think of Northern Ohio when they want to go to the beach...or buy waterfront property...but, yup, there it is
    Same here...fast, light, reliable, cheap, easy to maintain/repair...still have a nice '84 in the garage...hasn't seen any powder for quite a while now though (like this, only mine is silver/blue instead of silver black)

    I bought a 2016 Corolla LE last June. In Canadian gallons, it can be 56 mpg on the highway doing 80 KperH. In American gallons, it would be 44.8 mpg at 50 mph. Even with snow tires on, it still gets pretty decent gas mileage. The variable ratio transmission is really cool when you are using the cruise control.

    Just got done digging out the garbage cans from under roadsalt and frozen slush.
    The city declared a snow emergency yesterday and suspended all garbage pickups. So that means the plows threw all their crap right on top and in front of them.
    GOODTIMES, GOODTIMES!
