Yeah, though I fear the four wheeled kind as people leave the bars and casinos.

There are a couple valleys that would be lots of fun on a runner sled if they freeze! The heck with the Olympic games!

Loved getting out in all the icey and snowy weather in the Jimmy.
It was able to climb through snow drifts deeper than in was tall.
Even climbed over those 10ft high piles the dozers made clearing parking lots.



My nephew and I went around pulling people out of ditches. If they didn't say "Thank you" we charged them $5.00. If they refused to pay we pushed them back in the ditch. Most everyone said thank you and got pulled out free.. Only a couple got charged $5.00. Only one guy got pushed back in the ditch. Didn't say thanks, wouldn't give us any money to help with gas. Said he wasn't going to pay us, we were just out having fun. After we pushed him back in the ditch sure cussed us out. Don't know what the wrecker guys were charging, but I bet it was more than $5.00.

I just ordered the parts to build another computer. Another 6 core 12 thread 8th generation i7 CPU and 32 gig ram, but can be expanded to 64 gig, mirrored 1TB spinning hard drives, keyboard, case with two USB 3.0 connectors on the front, huge CPU cooler and can have liquid cooling if needed but not right now and Win 10 Pro. $1,256 delivered to the door. Some assembly required, as in all assembly required. It is just a big pile of parts.

We will put our 3D card in it and use it for the one program that does mapping with the 3D goggles, and also as a slave when not being used for the 3D glasses.

Dang weather!

How can I make money with freezing rain and crap. To quote Will Rogers, Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it!.

We have several projects to fly, and we are grounded with crappy weather.

Went out to drive to the company for a meeting...

The shift lever does not seem to be connectd to the transmission any more. Moves around but no gear selection. The worst part. Was planning to pick up some TP on the way home from the meeting and don't have one of those squirt you in the butt toilets.

You shouldn't test those sticks on yourself.

Crappy dang weather!

It is sleeting and it sucks out there. My commute home will not be affected, but we were scheduled to eat steaks with a friend. Oh well, we won't starve at home.
