CDOT uses a mix of 90% sand/10% salt and also uses stuff called Magnesium Chloride in a solution. Stuff is brutal on windshields and paint.

Unless there is a ****-ton of clearing today I won't ride this week. My street is still snow packed.

That's nothing you should have to deal with, Mark.

I would take that mixture over the pure salt they use here. Damn stuff is just so corrosive.

The Packers aren't going to the SB either. I'll be shocked if they get past the first round. Heck, I'll be shocked if they beat the Vikqueens tonight.

So whats the deal with the football guy?

He got into a scuffle in a bar and swung at a cop/resisted arrest.

Still a lot on my street, too. Hasn't been warm enough to melt it off from before XMas. Highly unusual. If I could get to my feeder street, I would be riding.

The Pack sure seemed to fall apart. I didn't see any particular reason for it though, Craig.

Makes me a tougher SOB, right?

Well that's really crappy, especially on a long weekend.

The pain just makes you a real biker

I held those Grand Slam coupons in reserve, only to be used in case of extreme emergency. Instead we opted for the Star Wars movie and then had an early dinner at Saltgrass.

The football guy is the QB for our local college team who made a really poor decision two days before his team's Alamo Bowl performance.

Many believe it's coaching problems (conflicts with players) and/or mentally Rodgers is going through personal issues (his Hollywood gf). It's hard to watch sometimes.
