  1. A skunk doesn’t smell it’s own stench, so I don’t stink, just ask me. ?
  2. And water’s wet A-Jay. You’re always in the red.
  3. It sure does look aluminum. Do you think they’ll do aluminum and glass boats? Do you think Wheeler would actually run an aluminum boat on tour? I know some are but still a very large majority still use fiberglass.
  4. I have a company truck. My first few years I’d get hand me downs. Those were the absolute worst! From cigarette smoke film all over everything, smells my nose has never smelled before, to trash everywhere! I paid my dues and thankfully get a brand new truck every 2-3 years so my trucks are mine and only mine now.
  5. Here’s another. I’m guessing by the manufacturer (they build yachts) the boat won’t be cheap at all! ?
  6. That’s exactly what the local weatherman said this morning. The days may be getting longer but we still haven’t seen the sun in 13 days now. Looking off to the east I can see clear skies and it looks like we could see the sun if it had time to get above the trees, but it like the movie the Perfect Storm. You see a glimmer of hope and get excited for a second, then reality sets in and the clouds engulf the sun!
  7. The closer this storm gets the nastier it’s looking. As of now the prediction is 8” of snow by Friday morning, 14” by Saturday morning, then another 8-10” of lake effect by Saturday night for a grand total of upwards of 24”+. By Friday evening 40-50mph winds roll in and continues through Saturday with windchills down to -15*. Some areas along the lakeshore are looking at or above 3’. All the snow is going to be lite and fluffy, throw in the 40-50mph winds, and we could see some deep interesting snow drifts. Should be interesting!
  8. There’s always that one guy who’s looking the wrong way. Lol
  9. To be fair, I couldn’t handle too many 100* humid days. It gets pretty humid here but rarely gets to 100. The older I get the less tolerant of the cold I am, probably because I’ve worked outside for almost 20 years. I’ve said it before, you can dress for the cold, you can’t for the heat. I’ve been sweating and taking layers off in single digit temps before.
  10. Give them some credit, they’ve seen skim ice on a mud puddle once or twice in their lives. ?
  11. Early predictions from the local weather guessers are saying “blizzard like conditions for Christmas weekend”. Starting Friday, 40-50 mph winds, and snow totals in the teens. Temps in the low teens too. Again, still too early to clear the bread and milk aisles but it could be interesting towards the end of the week.
  12. I can not believe the Lions are 7-7! Panthers Bears Packers This is their final three games. There’s a good chance they could win out. Never thought I’d see the day where this was a possibility.
  13. That’s pretty cool. I did a little looking, with inflation that’s the equivalent of $30.88 today. The average yearly income in 1950 was $3000.
  14. Is this regardless of the branch they served? My grandpa served in the US Army.
  15. Grand Rapids got 10.5” yesterday. A little further north and further east of the lake we got 8-9”. Watching the local weather they said we have not seen the sun in 11 days and it doesn’t look like we will for at least the next 7! @MN Fisher your bitter cold temps will arrive here Friday. Not as cold as yours but they’re saying highs Friday-Sunday low teens.
  16. What kind of info does this provide? I’ve always wondered about my Grandpa’s time during WWII. All I know is he fought in New Guinea. I have his and his brother’s dog tags, would their service numbers be on them?
  17. To quote Josh Allen, “Go Bills”
  18. My son saw it and said it was a pretty good movie.
  19. Holy smoke those are some bitter windchills! Your weather is bitter cold, comes across the lake, warms up, sucks up a bunch of moisture, blocks the sun, and dumps said moisture all over us. I’m pretty sure I’ll take the white stuff over those temps.
  20. Winter weather advisory until 1 am tomorrow with lake effect snowing. We’ve gotten 5” of snow in about 12 hrs and it’s still snow. Forecast calls for snow every day for the next 6 days. Pretty safe to say we’re going to have a white Christmas. I’m good with that.
  21. My first try at a taco pizza. Didn’t turn out too bad.
  22. I was pretty good at Guitar Hero 15-16 years ago. I even beat Tom Morello in a guitar competition! Does that count? ? I had an electric when I was 14, but became frustrated due to the lack of progress. My father in-law had played since he was 5. He got me an acoustic one year for Christmas with plans that he’d teach me when he retired. He retired, my wife and I had our son, and my father in-law passed away about a year later. We never really got to get into full on lessons. I still have my acoustic and he gave me his acoustic days before he passed. I need to make time for lessons, I really do.
  23. Good tune! Same scenario here. I’m sure we won’t get as much though. Nonetheless, we’ll have a white Christmas, and the snow will brighten things up around here. It’s been so gloomy and grey around here. I swear we haven’t seen the sun in about a month!
