Baby, it's cold outside!

[Czar]

I remember my dad doing that.

Every fall the studded tires went on, off early April. Some cinder blocks in the trunk if snow was in the forecast.

I will be at my job today in the unheated part of the building. I'd rather be in the cold than in the heat. Fortunately, I have layers of clothes to wear and can peel them off if needed!

I dated a girl years ago who used to do that. She was a lot of fun.

when I was 17 or 18, I worked at a CITGO gas station. As soon as Harden & Weaver, (a morning show on AM-630) mentioned snow, I knew we'd be changing tires all night. Usually dry rotted Montgomery Wards old tires that hadnt been on the road since 1967..... LOL

I put bags of sand in the back of the truck. Besides the extra weight, its handy if I need to throw down some sand for traction.

The old clay kitty litter gave better traction.

Wood stove ashes are even better, don't ask me why.

Today was a great day! Lots of nice people and I love working there! And there "is" heat upstairs that takes the chill off but in an old uninsulated building (an old saw mill), it's not necessarily warm! But I was comfortable all day.

Vrai, have I ever told you how much I enjoy the IGNORE feature?! I don't have to see the stupid $hit spewed by fidiots!

For your consideration ...

It was never a saw mill. It was a lumber storage building. Formally known as Truman Lumber. But then they ran that business into the ground.

Only person I have on ignore is someone I cant understand. Spent too much time trying to decode what they write.

PS: I'm not actually ignoring you; I just couldn't resist.

Just be grateful for all the brave souls who don't ignore you.

I don’t agree, life has its own ups and downs without purposefully letting in a downer.

Many times even a downer has insight on a subject that I wouldn't have considered otherwise. Everyone has something to offer!

Glad for the new gear I got for Norway a couple years back. Thick wool socks, LL Bean boots and parka, and a very nice Carhart ear covering cap with a drop down balaclava face covering. Toasty while walking the four dogs one by one....

Wife wont let me take the bike to the office though. Says I need to run her toy car to keep the battery up....

She does not want you to wear yourself out doing all the peddling wearing all that warm clothing riding your bike.

She worries about traction in the cold. Which is odd, since the motorcycles tires are better suited for the cold than the high performance tires on her sports car.

Still a good sign that she worries for your wellbeing.

After 30 years. damn straight. She and I just have different risk appetites as you might expect from someone who spent 40 years in public safety and one who has spent 40 years around ordnance and aircraft......
