Time to go find a Faygo.
I’ve got some Vernor’s. Might have to chill one…
Is that why it’s so windy here in Kentucky? I just figured all the politicans were yelling at each other…
Taking big rolls of ‘Shop Towels on a Roll’ to Wisconsin, so they can be made into Shop Towels on a Roll and Shop Towels in a box. Was near 70 in North Carolina today, supposed to be 15 in Wisconsin tomorrow…
I don’t know about Wisconsin but it was around 20 degrees this morning when I left for the train station. We may get about an inch of snow on Saturday.
Right at freezing this morning, with several inches of snow from overnight, but the promise of 4-7" today and tonight. Could be interesting…
But it is winter in northern New York. In 1977 we were recovering from the Blizzard, and in 1998, upwards of 10,000 power poles came down in the Ice Storm.
Anyone missing several thousand Canada geese? The goose poopers around here have a penchant for going after pedestrians, wandering into traffic from the medians and turning sidewalks into minefields…
The Chatterbox is appropriately named for winter, that’s for sure. I was able to make a saunter to the drug store and back this afternoon, giving me a walk of about a mile and a half. Heard four trains, saw none of them. [:-(]
Paul’s right about the chance of snow Saturday; it could be as much as three inches, but will more likely be about half that.
I have an errand to run in Elmhurst tomorrow, returning (with gratitude) the child seat we borrowed over the Christmas week. The weather word for tomorrow is “blustery”, so I’m not sure I’ll linger long to watch trains or anything.
MC, I’ve been seeing and hearing formations of your bombers for the past week or so (I love the sound at high altitudes…close at hand, not so much). I did catch myself putting my hood up…
Nope, still have lots of the geese on the river up here in Calgary. Supposed to get another chinook blowing in, starting tomorrow and much stronger on the following days. Are you expecting one too?
Haven’t seen many geese since fall - but there have been those who stick around instead of going south.
Got home from a meeting tonight, pushed the button for the garage door, and it only went half way up. Closed it again, and it opened, but I could see something hanging where nothing should have been hanging.
Turns out one of the tension cables had given up the ghost. As I looked for what I had to fix it I discovered (!) a replacement cable, with clamps. So it’s fixed.
And just how did you get so lucky to have spare parts available? Most of us would have something much more useful like an extra TV antenna.[:-^]
One thing I have learned from my efforts in racing. If something breaks - buy two. If it broke once IT WILL break again. From the Boy Scouts motto - Be Prepared.
The bad thing about buying two - when the next one breaks you will likely have forgotten where you placed the second one when you fixed the original break with the first one.
Amen[Y]…and the stored part magically appears AFTER you buy another pair and do the repair. Now you have two spares.
[(-D] It’s like Deja vu taunting me! The light went out in our fridge. I went to buy a new appliance bulb that we stock at work. They are $1.99 for one or $2.99 for two. A coworker tried to convince me to buy two. “You know you’re going to need another one down the road anyway and you’ll save a buck”. I explained that when I needed another one I probably wouldn’t be able to find the extra, so I purchased the package of one. I went home last night, took the bulb out of the package and took off the light cover. Can anybody guess how many bulbs are in the light fixture in my fridge? [D)]
I have no idea - unless I bought enough to do both sides but only had to fix one at some point in the past. What’s amazing is that I even had cable clamps tied to the cable - saved a rushed trip to wherever to find the cable, etc.
Ended up being a fifteen minute fix…
