    I just replaced my television on Sunday. While watching it last night it appeared to be going on the fritz. I turned on the porch light to discover snow accumulation. A quick dash out the back door to brush off the disk and everything was alright again. Woke up this morning and the snow had all melted.

    Charlie Brown Christmas Special will no longer air on network television, that was on when I was a kid. It was first on the Christmas before I was born.

    Son of a blow torch I am going to have to drive the pontoon in the snow tomorrow, load it and drive to the farm in the damn snow. What happened to global warming? winter in October is BS.

    ****tt... I am the kinda person who hates that the govt and big tech is constantly trying to track me and collect my data.... And I just accidentally super glued a tile key tracking dangle to my left inner thigh... was going to run to Walmart to grab some nail polish remover but then I realized I am going to get tracked all the way there and back... talk about a catch 22

    Yes e-learning but by closing the schools it appeases the weather terrorists.

    People who whine about their own unrepentant, self-inflicted stupidity irritate me.

    Ok, the wife and I have voted. How do we opt out of the mud slinging commercials and crap political mail?

    So the oils you left on your gear with scent doesn't transfer to your rubber glove? Or the oils and scent from handling those gloves putting them on doesn't transfer to your ladder rungs or safety ropes? I take it your spraying everything including your gloved hands.

    Well the pontoon is in the shed, what a pain in the ass that was trying to maneuver a pontoon trailer in the snow.
