Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Temp is 24 and looking for a high of 34. Wind ENE 10 mph.
We got about a inch so far. Add that to the 3/4" we got the other day and maybe after I go to town I will plow.

In 1990 I had a cabover Freightliner with factory air and non-tinted windows....I went to someone I knew who tinted windows and got him to put 35% (the maximum you could go in Ontario for front side windows in Ontario then) on. I totally forgot the truck had air conditioning and the windows were already tinted 5% from the factory.It looked good, BUT nobody could see in, even from 10' away. Whenever I ran through the scales I would open the passenger side window almost all the way to let in enough light so the scale guy could see me.
My current Freightliner has 25% on top of the original 5% and it is going to get retinted this summer.
There are some states that don't allow tint on the front side windows, so be very careful AND do your homework, first.

I've got a dump run this morning along with the food store and pick up a parcel at the drop point. Some couriers will come to the house, Fed Ex is one of them. Fed Ex brings my gold and silver right to the house. They brought my chains for the tractor and even dropped them in the open garage door for me. Purolator does not.

Going out in a snow storm could be a life and death situation, and the way I look at it, there is nothing worth my life.

Stay safe everybody

I keep forgetting about that when I go to Mom's. I need to show her a video on my notebook about a new stand straight walker. I don't think she wants to spend $600 for a new walker but then she does not have many expenses and I think her back and hands will feel better at night if her stress points using the walker change. Anybody know anyone with one of these?

We've got a couple of rollators and one walker, but have never seen anything like that UPWalker; never even heard of such before now.

29°F and some light snow flurries this morning, going up to 40° today.

My Wife's Sorento has the "dual" sunroof that covers most of the roof. There is a shade that slides back and forth to cover it from the inside. Last summer, that shade became stuck and wouldn't budge. When she took it to the dealer, they acknowledged that it was a fairly common problem. There is a weak cable that pulls it, and it is prone to breaking. Naturally, they cannot replace just the cable. Oh, no ... they have to replace the entire mechanism assembly, at the cost of $1600. At that price, it's still broken. She just doesn't use it anymore.

All you guys out east getting dumped on again, stay safe.

One of the big stories around the STL area this week is about a video of a stunt bike rider sticking his foot out to get a fist bump from a cop while he's riding a wheelie past him on Natural Bridge Ave (just a few blocks from where I work). Now that the video has gone public, there's a big investigation. I saw one of those guys a few days ago riding a wheelie in that same area, and a cop who was on my side of the road completely ignored him and just kept going. Yesterday, while sitting at the intersection in that video (Natural Bridge & Kingshighway), I watched someone blow through the red light and almost hit the car in front of me making a left turn, as a police car sitting in the left turn lane directly across the intersection from me again completely ignored it.

It appears that STL has a bit of a police department problem, at least here on the north side.

The police here are under orders not to give chase and the kids know it.

Buppies, this is the latest update for us on Monday.

 

[CWB Wyo]

The low this morning was 17, yesterday was really nice. Made it up in to the low 50's and almost no wind. Today it's going to be back in the 50' s and sunny but with 10-15 mph winds.

Making the weekly trip to town today. The neighbor that had the health problems made it home yesterday. I'll go up see him when we get back from town.

Hope everyone has a nice day.
CWB.
