Shew! I'm ready for about 50 beers after my 28 mile round trip totaling 2 hours in the snow today!

I have to lift a mug once again to my KIA though. It loves the slop! I literally took this pic right after I got out of it on my drive home after work. Amazing what it can go through. This Bud's for you little KIA!
On the way home

We got close to a foot in the last few days. What a shi..y day!! -28C, and then the wind chill...

Here starts the interesting tidbits.
I was short $200 in one till tonight at close, might be explained when they count and open saturday. Doubt it, I went through all four tills many times. (lots of swear words here)
The people I work with are dumb as bricks, customers are not much better. You guys would reel at some of the questions I get on a daily basis. Way worse than any Craigslist post for humor!
I missed all of the hockey game tonight, and all of the UFC main event. Prelims were on TV, but work got in the way. Did not get to watch much. I feel ripped off! Stupid work.
To top it all off, I was washing a certain beer mug last night and the (your choice of words) split in half. Not sure what to think about that.
I fire up the computer when I get home and a fan is as loud as my GF on a really good night in bed!! Going to have to break it down, clean it out, determine what one it is and replace it.
I can hardly hear myself type right now. Slammed back two buds as I typed this, things will get better I am sure.

Thanks for enjoying my day with me. Ugh!

Holy bad-day Batman!

Don't worry Dave. Never underestimate the power of positive thinking. Life is always trying to kick your ass. Just look it in the eye and say "No thank you sir! I choose to be happy!". Happiness is a decision, not a feeling.

And when your supply runs low they sell it in 12oz bottles...

You know it man! I agree 100%!
When I left work, (I ride all the time) I was ice cold but happy to be riding home. It is only 10-15 minutes away so the weather is not a huge factor.
I have my laundry done, a few more beers into me and a nice snack on the way. I think I will break into a NIB kit for the weekend and kick back and relax.

HI!... 2 hours?

That would of took me 10 minutes with this baby...
Used to be my fathers. 1978 MTD. Got rid of the 8H.P B&G and put on a 15H.P. Re-pullied it and completely rebuild the drivetrain. Had the shoot extended. Still has the original tires on it from 1978. No dry rot or cracks. Still looks like new. All steel, no plastic on this baby. This Summer it's going to get torn down, sandblasted, and either painted red or powder coated. Goes through 2 ft of snow like nothing and shoots snow as high as the hydro poles.

My neighbours just laugh when I bring "Blowzilla" out.

Where were you 12 hours ago...

Luckily I live far enough south that we only get large amounts of snow a couple times a year. If I lived up north I think I'd definitely have one of those beauties. I kinda like that one the way it is. No restoration needed.

Same here Ken, we get snow but not two foot at a time.
Add some more HP to that thing and check back. The cold temps is where it is at, this past few days were cold, but with the wind chill we were at -39 to -42C
That does not happen here to often, damn cold! Day time temps were OK at -15 to -20 or so. Add the wind and it was nasty. Stay inside kind of cold.

Not getting old Marlo, just aging gracefully!

Last home made 3/4 pound Volcano Burger of the year I guess.
