Stijn!!

free meals and the boss makes you do her yardwork.

[GH85Carrera]

And wash her car, and lots of other chores.

[flipper35]

No yard-work for me today!
Can't see the grass.

Of course, we get snow every year, but someone had to be stupid and cause the bridge to be closed. Traffic was backed up for miles. How do you forget how to drive in snow after a summer?

Of course Jim is probably sailing and Jeff is out gallivanting around somewhere, Richard is probably smoking some meat and I am stuck writing a policy that will negate your bonus and merit increase if you fail to go through all our mandatory computer security training.

[Jim Richards]

Not sailing, but I am sitting outside, sipping coffee, enjoying the sea breeze.

[GH85Carrera]

Maybe it was a brand new driver that has never driven in snow before!

We saw the aftermath of a three car bumper car last time it was raining. Astonishing that people think water will not reduce the coefficient of friction between rubber and pavement and not increase the distance between cars.

Nah, if you have AWD you can change the laws of physics.

[Porsche-poor]

laws were meant to be bent if not broken!!!!

[GH85Carrera]

[flipper35]

Ah, but the Enterprise in all 6 (7 if you include the NX) iterations did not have AWD. Therein lies the problem!

[GH85Carrera]

That is true, but they were faster than light!

[Porsche-poor]

and they had Scotty who pretty much made stuff happen.

[Porsche-poor]

Glen you still with us? Seems a few pictures riled up a person.....

[GH85Carrera]

Yea, I saw that comment. Really a pumpkin?

That is a LONG way from the movie clip thread with the Sharon Stone upskirt scene.

[Porsche-poor]

Just don't get banned from here.

[RKDinOKC]

They hauled off the crunched up Cayenne today.

I sleeped a lot avoiding pain.

[Jim Richards]

Richard, I hope you don’t get another Cayenne. They don’t seem to work out well for you.

For the second consecutive year, and the sixth time overall, the grand champion at the annual Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue competition is a team from Oklahoma.

This time the BBQ place will be opening up in OKC next month. Last year's winner is in a little building in Wellston, on Rt-66 and almost impossible to get in without a long wait. The new winner is a big place, and it will be interesting to see how they do in the competitive field of Oklahoma BBQ.

The place I like the most is just a few miles away here in Edmond, and their meat is so tender you never need a knife. Their sauce is pretty good, but a bit tangy for my taste. The place that has dang good sauce and meat has been in business since the 50s, and been through several owners. Jack's BBQ started off in the 1950s in downtown OKC by an old black man. My former boss said it was in all done in a small building, and he said it was hysterical seeing a bunch of white business men in suits, with their ties stuffed in their shirts, snarfing up BBQ at an old black man's business in the 1950s and 60s. Jack retired, sold the business and recipe and it moved to Rt-66 in OKC.

They have great food, just don't look around much at the dirty building. I don't know how the health department has not shut them down in this day and age. The second owners did great, and when momma was on the knife it was fantastic. They sold it to a younger couple, and it was good but more expensive. They sold it to the current owners, and only the sauce is the same.

Morning all. Frost on the kids car this am. The dog was not happy about the bathroom (yard) chill. So intern neither was I waiting on her.

[GH85Carrera]

Yea, it was just above freezing and real damp here this morning. It still is.

All summer long we lock the side gate to the back yard at bedtime to keep or male dachshund from hunting all night and getting into trouble. Now that it is cold, he is a total couch potato. In the summer every morning he would lead me to the back door so he could go on patrol even before he ate breakfast. It was like Lassie leading the sheriff to little Timmy trapped in the cave, he would run to the back door and show me the way.

This morning after he had eaten, he had zero interest in the back yard and just went back to bed. He has the doggy door to take care of business when the need gets strong enough. In the summer he goes to the very far west part of the yard, as far from the doggy door as possible. In cold weather he might make it 10 feet at most.

[Porsche-poor]

Sounds about right. The biggest baby was our lab. He would step off the walk use the grass and head back in when it was this cold.
