Love shoveling a double driveway before I go to work ( 5 degrees.) ! Worst part was finding out the doors to the Black '98 MC were frozen shut. Went inside & Microwaved a cup of water - Not too hot & was able to get driver side open & dry off the seals. Got 'er started & warmed up & she's fine!

Hope you are all well & have a great 1-11-11 !!

Well it took me 1.5 hours to get to work today - just ridiculous! With only about 2 inches on the ground. I swear everyone that lives in my area are total idiots when it comes to driving in snow. Sheesh!

Yeah. People freak out here in KC if there is 1/2" of snow. Either they drive way too fast - or Waaaaaay to slow ! Usually I have some one in a 4WD behind me chomppin' hunks out of their steering wheel. Hey ! You still gotta stop the darn thing! Hello! ???

things are a bit heated at work today discrepancies with what one person said to some one else about sending some paper work out to the other branches and they dragged a person that had nothing to do into it, it will be a interesting day

I just think I'll keep the MC off the street as much as possible. They still use rock salt
here + the kooks out there- could slam into me. Not worth it.

New York really got their share of weather already. wOw! Broadway shows are cool!
Haven't been back to NY city since before 9-11.

Well it's pretty nice out here. 64 for a high in the valley. I've been watching the weather channel about all the snow in Hot Lanta. Not a pretty site. I seen on the news back home is suppose to get below temps again this weekend. Brr. Miss that like a sharp stick in the eye! I'm so glad I'm out here for a while. After rolling my truck last yr. I too drive so slow. I'm one the guys that your most likely cussin out. But when something like that happens to you. YOU SLOW down. I was very lucky to live thu that. My truck was totaled. The insurnace didn't even get close then a few feet from it. So please all you driving this winter. Give the guy or girl a break when it come to driving this winter. We all want to make it home safe. What do you save by driving 10 or 15 miles an hr faster then everyone else. Think of it as the girl or guy in front of you could be a family member. OK. Nough said. Good luck to all you that have to drive this winter. Thanks.............Rick

Afternoon all, just got back from a 60 mile drive. Snow on the ground, not on the roads, roads are even too warm for black ice as there is still salt and snow is melting. People drove 25 mph the ENTIRE way. People in tennessee drive WAY too slow in the snow. Unless they are stupid kids.


Well, waiting on some wings from a local resteraunt, then going back to work.
