Nothing within walking or do you need the sidewalks cleared for your rascal?

I'll just cook. By the time I hike back with the food it will be cold.

Couldn't you just get a couple of sandwiches and put them under your armpits?

Fucker plow operator again dumped a snow dam at the end of the driveway and did not clear the cul de sac.

It's 75F here today. The cold comes back tomorrow.

I'm oddly looking forward to our next snow dump. I want to play with my new toy lol.

I used it already on a bit of snow that was just residual from the last snow fall though. Won't replace the snow blower any time soon, mostly due to lack of control where the snow goes, but it does quick work of clearing the area in front of the truck so I can get out of the driveway. (I try to avoid packing down the snow if I'm not in a hurry)

Not sure how good it will do with the plow drift though, it's not really made for that, but you bet I'm going to try it. lol.

I just ordered the 18" chainsaw since it went on sale too, that's atually what I REALLY wanted and why I went with Greenworks, but now I'll have 2 batteries. On their own the batteries are like $200+ so it seems to me it's cheaper to buy them with a tool when it's on sale. Next one is going to be the lawnmower.

 

[sdifox]

Lol, that thing is a toy. The snow dam the plow left was taller than the 30" snow blower intake chute.

 

[Charmonium]

Like this?

OMG, you're killing me. I'm much better though. Hehehe and no, I have no intention of proving that here.

Two PSA's that have probably been already mentioned.

1. Blood shortage call-out from the crimson cross.
2. Wednesday, Verizon and ATT 5G towers are set to go online. Airlines are canceling flights and "officials" (shrug) are advising that you not fly tomorrow.

 

[Red Squirrel]

5G deathbeams. pew pew pew.

I just finished the first ep of Station Eleven. Not sure what to think. Has anyone else given this show a chance?

 

[Charmonium]

Station Eleven.

Courtesy of wikipedia (to whom I donate monthly and so should you)

Station Eleven is an American post-apocalyptic dystopian fiction miniseries created by Patrick Somerville based on the 2014 novel of the same name by Emily St. John Mandel. The miniseries premiered on HBO Max on December 16, 2021.[1]

doofas edit: It was finally dinner time (which came every so close to being diner time) - aka 11PM. Went to the local greasy spoon for a couple scrambled egg and cheese sammies. Oh, and coffee. They have the best take-out coffee ever.

Well, for whatever reason, they made both with bacon. At this point it's important to explain that they deep-fry their bacon (ouch). It makes the meat very crispy (but not as crispy as in a microwave with at least 10 layers of folded paper towels to sop up the grease. I refer you to aforementioned "greasy spoon" comment) but changes the flavor. Except for the different texture added to my beloved E&C on a kaiser roll, I didn't really notice it.

For those of you actually remember that I'm vegetarian (really folks, it's not worth the effort) I should explain that I don't throw out food unless I just don't want to eat it. I know that dings whatever veggie cred I've established here thus far, but I love big bacon, I cannot lie.

I've heard of herding cats, usually as a euphemism for an exercise in futility but "loading" cats? That I've gotta see.
