Nah, she just wanted to increase the distance between you and it, before it got its butt shaved. Since the other end is equipped with teeth, it was for the good of both parties....

You forget I have a whole poultry farm in my back yard, I own a nice pair of cowboy boots, and the neighbors have sheep

Except for Lups - you don't have to feel sorry for her. She chose to move back.

You know, I never did understand that name but now I shall remember it forever.

Thanks, that's my word of the day.

I generally ride until it gets below 20 myself.

Supposed to be 76 degrees here on Friday and then 34 degrees with snow by Sunday.

Trying. People keep scheduling me for stuff at the last minute. I ended up in Bozeman, Montana last week. Beautiful place. Only saw restaurants, my hotel, and a meeting room.

50's LOL!

Screw you guys, i'm going home ................

Woke up to pouring rain the past couple days. 1/4 inch of sleet on my car today and the roads could have been used by the NHL.

Hopefully moving to FL or the southwest/SoCal one day is in my future. The cold and grey for 7 months of the year is just abysmal.

Joekerr · 04-16-2018, 09:20 AM

Frick me it is the middle of April and I was stuck in my own driveway today. Had to get the metal shovel out and dig a runway to get free, and salt the runway too.

Then proceeded to snowplow the road with my front spoiler, which was all ice crusted snow, so that was stellar, until I could get to our main road.

It is the middle of April. If anyone wants to talk global warming, just know that I'm all for it right about now.

Oh man that's brutal...

I've only lived in cloudy gloomy cities my entire life. But I've been to California a solid 20+ times and have fallen in love with San Diego. The Bay has become unreasonably expensive, and most of the LA area is a sh*thole. SD on the other hand is clean and feels like the true southern California experience.

Miami would be another option due to lower taxes and more reasonable home prices.

I'm i grad school for a profession where one can live wherever their heart desires which is a blessing. My folks on the other hand are in engineering and IT which makes cities like SD, Miami, etc. unrealistic if they wanted to progress in their careers.

I'd like to bring up the fact that it was 75-80 degrees this weekend. A little warm for my liking this time of year, but hey, we all have to suffer sometime.

I hope you do. I know that's not nice, but I hope you do. Mainly, this is me venting, because coming home, I also got stuck attempting to go up my driveway and just gave up and left the car where it stopped.

We aren't talking a steep incline btw - maybe a 10 degree gradient.
