And he ended it with "Donate to Australia, get drunk, take your drugs" and then got bleeped on "go fuck yourself" or something.
You’d think a bunch of rich perverts who go to Eyes Wide Shit parties and fuck each other while wearing giraffe masks would be less gaspy. But.... gotta keep up that fake, squeaky-clean front.
well, shit. Going skiing in about a week, conditions are supposed to be in the single digits with wind chill on top so I'm trying on all my super warm stuff (in texas winters it's either long pants, or a jacket, not both)... I guess I hit a growth spurt in my late 20s? Because none of my stuff fits length wise anymore. The last time I went skiing was 4 years ago, and somewhere between then and now I went up a size. So all new outer layers, gloves, thermals, everything. Good news is I thought ahead and bought a ski helmet on amazon, and I've been working on re-learning my balance at the gym the past few months. It isn't where it was before the surgery, but at least I'm not super fucked anymore. Skiing was the one athletic thing I was good at, and after the surgery when my balance got shot I could get by on just muscle memory and depth perception. Which worked perfectly as long as the conditions were perfect. But when it'd start to snow and visibility would go down, I'd instantly turn into a newborn deer learning to walk. So I'd be cruising down a difficult run, having no problem, then a storm would blow in and I would work my way down the rest of the mountain in a flurry of curse words and involuntary tobogganing.
The weather is going to be above freezing for twelve of the next thirteen days here. the ground still hasn’t froze through yet. I’ll take that. However it could screw up crops when we get these weird, warm winters.
150km east of us where my dad lives got 60cm(2ft) 100km south of there got 90cm(3ft) over night. it started during the day on Friday at 1pm my dads boss told them all to go home.
We need a solid dump of snow to try out the new toy! But not til Jan 23rd or later. The original snowblower arrived damaged so it had to be returned and reordered. Home Depot's online pickups have weird rules for returns. On the plus side, they were backordered on the model I bought and let me have a more expensive one for the same price. Merrrrry Christmas, y'all.
So for y’all who live in freezing conditions: do I need to do anything to my truck beyond changing wiper fluid to stuff that’s rated for freezing temps?
In what context? As in to survive a couple days in the cold? Biggest thing for safety, to me, is to get proper winter tires. Summer tires are SHIT in the cold, and "all seasons" are very close to SHIT. Oil is the other thing... if it gets too cold your oil will not flow and that is not good for the engine... Get an ice scraper for frost. Put a candle in the glove box to help keep things cozy if you get stuck somewhere. A small shovel and some kitty litter helps with getting yourself unstuck. Check your heater core to ensure it's working as expected, and your coolant is at proper levels.
2nd the ice scraper. They are super inexpensive and I keep mine in the side pocket of the car. I've used it a ton already.
Here in the South where snow/ice is a rare occurrence, one must run to the grocery store and stock up like it's the apocalypse. Bread and milk are a must for some reason. I'm not sure why. If you're smart you don't drive during said storm. The idiots will kill you.
