Time to get the snowmobile serviced (http://"http://www.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/forecast/city_e.html?yyt&unit=i")
Yeah. No shiznit. It was 11 until saturday, when it was -12. :p I woke up to -22 this morning. brrrrrutal.
Yea I can see things are tough all over....
Its cloudy as Hell here on the east coast of Virginia... and only 61* :grinno: :ies:
80 and cloudy here. :p
*shakes fist* You s!
Supposed to snow here today and a couple other days... I'm actually gonna get snow tires this winter though, so this should be interesting, less slip sliding around
I'm wasting away this 80 degree afternoon trying to put spark plugs in the '86. With the coming out of the smog pump, and one of the A/C lines, I can barely fit my wrists through to the right side plugs.. and then my new (el-cheapo) spark plug wires don't want to click onto the new plugs. So it's not exactly a day at the beach here. :p (although it could be) :p
sassin-frassin-rackus-hackus :brick:
*throws a wrench at bird351*
I probably wouldn't feel it hit.
I've been suffering from extreme headaches today, my elbows are shot from being stuck so long at maximum extension of my arms, (I was out there last night putting the new plug wires and cap and rotor on, too) and my wrists and hands are screwed up.
Thinking about popping a Vicodin just to get me back to work. Gotta do the front brakes before Wed. evening. (going to pick up my fiance from the train station in Tampa) Wear indicators are startin' to sing on me.
The in all this is that the plugs I'm replacing really didn't turn out to be all that bad. They're scorched a little from when the car started to overheat before I way overdid the cooling on it, and the electrodes were starting to round.. but they weren't in hideous condition or anything. I just wanted to get it all done while I was replacing the coil/wires/cap/rotor.
But since you threw a wrench at me:
:p
Don't throw a wrench at him, Crystal, throw him a hurricane. I hear those Floridians LOVE hurricanes :D
I hate winter as much as the next guy, but I'll take a foot of snow over a hurricane any day. Hell, last year we had a blizzard tha dumped over three feet of snow AND a hurricane. The snow has long since melted, but there are still hundreds of thousands of downed trees lying about left over from hurricane Juan...
I'd still take a hurricane over an earthquake, as disasters go.
Blizzard? I don't know. It's been so long since I was a northerner. (born in Chicago, but I've been down here since I was 5) For me, snow is a novelty.. last time it snowed here was like 1989.. (and even then, only a tiny bit) but I'm sure I'd be sick of it if I still lived up there.
This'll make you sick of it every time (first pic taken out my livingroom window on Feb 20th, 2004, after we got 95 CM [38"] of snow driven by 70MPH winds, second pic is out the back window. This is a split entry house so the window is about 8 feet off the ground). The storm has been named "White Juan" in memory of the recent Hurricane Juan that had battered us only a few months prior.
Honestly, I think I'd rather live through another hurricane than a storm like this. With the hurricane I was without power for a week and there was plenty of damage but at least I could move around. I was trapped in the house for four days after the snowstorm, and my parents were stranded in a hotel room 1/2 mile away because they could not make that last 1/2 mile. They could see the house but not get to it!
I take it those are cars in the first pic...especially the one to the right. Looks aweful, but I'd love to see something like that in person for once :grinno:
The one on the right is a Chev Malibu. In front of it is a Tempo, and I think the one in the back left is a Toyota somethingorother
While we're doing pictures..
..it's apparent that Charley prefers Discount Auto Parts over AutoHole:
(and if you ever wondered why I call it AutoHole..)
It snowed 5 inches here in the last 24 hours.
Really freeky temperatures. Two days ago it was -24, then that night it rose to -8, then cooled off to -16 the next day, and today it is -2 but still snowing.
But thats ok. My snowmobile runs just fine.
How do you throw a hurricane?
I remember those Pics Carmen. I'm really not looking forward to winter this year... seems like it was just here.
Maybe a trip to visit my cousin in FL is in order :)
