It was down last evening as well (9p-ish)

At -5 this morning, the remote start refused to do so. It worked yesterday at the milder 1 degree above zero. I learned last week that my G8 remote start will shut off the engine after about ten minutes. I went out the night before and set the desired temp at 80 degrees and cranked the fan. The next morning, I hit the remote start and was expecting it to be mildly tropical when I went out to take my son to school. We walked out and the car was off. He asked if I hit the remote start and I confirmed I did. It wasn't the Margaritaville like I was hoping for. No!! Leave it run until it hits the desired temp or it drains the 18 gallon tank.

My deck pops when the temps get this low. Scares the heck out of the dogs. There's regular popping sounds in the house no matter the weather.....it's my 53 year old knees and ankles

One of my foursome was a shelter surrender when she and three others were left out in freezing temperatures with no shelter and frozen water bowls. Five years later, when the temps get below freezing, she still remembers that time and never leaves my side.

Complete and unpainted Can't tell if its a snap or glue kit

The off road buggy from Revell Sandman..... I'm thinking bright yellow

Like I need another project....I've never seen the window version of the Dodge van Untouched except the tail lights are glued in

I would like a 'draft beer morning after' as they tend to sound like a higher degree of moisture content......a.k.a., the shart

Yeah, that's why I have four rescue. Everytime I go volunteer, the wife is worried #5 could be in the car.

Two inches of rain today, up to eight inches of snow starting around 5p today and then temps Sunday night 0 to -5. That's okay I have my draft doggie in place to keep the cold air out. Okay it's actually 70 pounds of husky/mix that got too hot sleeping/hogging the couch so he went over to the tiled entry and roached....and snoring!

My sons school is updating their illness notification system in an effort to minimize the spread of flu so they sent out the text below to all parents. The wife said I'm not to use phrases like Larry the Cable Guy of 'pooping through a screen door and not hitting a wire' or spewing chunks like The Exorcist......If they don't wanna know, don't ask for the details! I miss the good old day of "Joey is sick....call if you have questions' We are in contact with the ****** County Public Health Department to track illnesses that are going around in our area, including the flu. When calling the attendance line, please leave detailed information as to the reason for your student’s absence. It is very important for us to have accurate information in order to track illnesses. Flu-like symptoms include: fever and chills, cough, headache, body aches, sore throat

From the Cincinnati D'Elegance a year or two ago....

Call your insurance company and see if they offer roadside assistance that can be added to your policy. I ditched AAA years ago as it was far more expensive and after they damage my car (tow truck driver made a U-turn over a center island and damaged the lower front valance panel....they eventually paid for the repair). I know Safeco and Progressive offer it.

Should be here next week. Opened but sealed inside for slightly more than retail on a Round2 kit. I've heard rumors that the stock truck with the standard bed is under development but like their Demon and the Vega kits, I'll believe it when it's in my fat little fingers.

Earlier this week, I never thought I would hear of possible delay for a certificate of occupancy (possibly delay inspectors) for one of our stores in Alamagordo, NM.....60 miles from the Mexican border

My middle school son's school was put into lockdown as a high school student brought what was later determined to be an AirSoft gun to school. The city has a new school under construction which will include metal detectors and all the current safety measures. He's somewhat troubled by it but not as bad as I thought he would have been.

The current episodes are severely lacking but I'm still a fan. I know Duffman was only available with the environment and I've not seen Devil Homer since they first came out. I don't have a pick but I also went back and got MooMoo Homer

I gave up years ago answering family/in-laws when asked what I want for Christmas as I truly believe they use that as a target what NOT to get me. Bought myself this off the InterWeb as I only saw one at a show and it was far more than I was looking to pay. Pic plagiarized from eBay

Left over spiral sliced ham.....diced......mixed into mac-n-cheese using sharp white cheddar. My office clothes are so not gonna fix next week

My maternal grandparents worked their whole lives and saved a great deal. Due to my grandmother's health issues, they never traveled in retirement as planned and both ended up in a nursing home so the home reaped the benefits of my grandparents work. My parents continued to work including my mom worked the day she had her stroke. They never got to enjoy their retirement as planned (Mom passed 48 hours after her stroke) and Dad burned through his savings spending the last two years of his life in a nursing home due to dementia. I have a retirement plan but in the interim I'm buying my toys. I doubt either of my sons will want my stuff and I have a detailed list of what kits are where that they can easily search on line what they are worth and where to sell them. The bigger question will be what to do with all the minor league hockey bobbleheads and pucks.....

Steve....you are killing me! Shrimp, crab, lobster, squid, octopus, gator, shark, oyster, clams, scallops...it's all good. Not much of a fish fan but everything else aquatic, I'm in!! Don't know how I married someone who've seafood is only BBQ'ed Salmon.

On TV...nothing. Outside....to see which house on the street has the biggest pile of trash for the garage man tomorrow morning. The wife went into purge mode so I've already dropped half a dozen boxes at the thrift store and three boxes of blankets/towels to the animal shelter. The rest along with the boxes from Christmas are at the curb. FYI...if you get anything in a styrofoam cooler like Omaha steaks ships there products in and you won't be re-using them, shelters will take them and turn them into shelters for feral cats that have no protection from the cold.
