I'm trying to come up with a cute response but it would only parallel what you said...

 

Good morning Woods. Rain here, about 40*. Everyone stay safe out there.

 

Russ, this was the low setting. I even covered it in a blanket to get away from some of the heat. My skin just got too sensitive for the lowest setting, which is clearly too high.

 

Better than an acute case of plagiarism, Al.

 

 

Studded tires were the hot set up back in the early 70's. I recall studding a bunch of tires for people. Had a special stand, snow tires had small holes for studs, and a stud gun to install. But DOT decided they tore up the pavement too much around here, so they banned them. I did stud up some tires for one of my Husky's and we went ice racing. Didn't fair too well for me. I high sided coming around one of the corners and landed on my left shoulder and broke a collar bone. I guess that was the end of my ice racing career!! I still have a coffee can full of ice screws if anyone wants them!

 

Mornin, Rob. How are all things in your neck of the woods?

 

Oh yeah....just got done clearing the last 2-3 inches of snow this morning. Hopefully I'm done for a few days.
BUT.....we're one day closer to spring. Regardless of what Pauxataney Phil says.

 

I thought ice racing was something the illegals did.

 

We called that Skitching. Especially with buses. Get off the school bus, run around back and hang on to the bumper. Slide along on our feet.
