Anudder bright and sunny day. That means cold... Yesturday the car temp read 3 in the grudge, right down to 0 when it got outside. After wandering in Costco with the gf till my feet hurt, it went up to 3 again. Got a fresh bag of coffee beans, I can handle the cold.

What'd they do, drag a tree in there? Or pour a couple gallons of gas on whatever they wus burning to get it started...
Doc - (this wouldn't quote, I'm gettin a lot of funny stuf on the forum) 17° and headed for a blistering high of 23° today. Got warm enuff yesterday and rained all day. Washed most of the salt off the roads but then last night the temps went back down and they put the salt back down again!!!!.....WTF!!!
Haven't had a lot of snow this year, but looks like they're trying to break a record with salt, so much in the cul de sac, piles of it sit in puddles without melting. Roads are as white as the snow (seems odd, the stuf they pour on is blue). They oughta ban salt on roads with speed limits under 40, 'cept mebbe for 100' from an intersection with stop signs or lights. Would save thousands of tons of salt just in the metro area. There are some (few) towns/areas that don't salt residential streets, and it makes no difference for driving; worst is you might have to drop 5 or 10 mph, and for a mile or three on residential streets going home, that ain't even 5 minutes.
Well, it's been a busy four days, but I PULLED IT OFF!!
My wife and I moved out here to Idaho a year and a half ago, and we haven't seen our kids since. My wife was getting pretty sad about it, so I hatched a plot. I arranged to fly our oldest daughter out this past weekend, and managed to keep it a total secret. My inlaws picked her up at the airport Saturday night and brought her to the house. My wife was napping in her favorite chair and we snuck our daughter in.
Surprise!
Just dropped her off back at the airport. Wife's happy!
This is the literature of the table I scored back last summer......took awhile to find it on the net, here's the web link
Some of those old tables were really nice. Haven't looked at pool tables in... probably near 20 years, but even then a lot of em had particle board in em; I wouldn't call a pool table any kind of quality with that stuf in them.
Cool thing to do, Idaho. My Dad really loved my daughter, only girl child in his adult life. Near the end, he had a chunk of liver removed, and I flew with her to see him. Never saw him look happier than when he saw her walk in the hospital room; he didn't know we were coming, either.

The guy I bought it from, thought it would be a pita to remove, so he set the price at a hundred bucks, I brought a few friends ,had it dismantled and out of his house in 15 minutes.....shoulda saw his jaw drop when I handed him the money and got to werk.....( I think he thought it was a one piece slab, it is 3 piece italian 1 inch slate)
