Ouch!

Cold 31 going to 57 here and still about 10 below normal. A 5 miler now and gym later in the making.

From the looks of the number of cars on our roads and some of the really idiotic driving I have seen recently it appears that the snowbirds have arrived. Youse dudes that stay and shovel have my thanks.

Shoveled twice already.

Went to gas station and filled the generator can.

When the dryer is done drying both of my coats I'm gonna go shovel again.

It's coming down heavy and fast. At least its not too cold. 31F so it's the perfect snow to accumulate many inches but not too wet n heavy, not too dry and blowy

Forecast is saying 8 inches. I think we've got over half of that already according to the patio table.

I was thinking some sort of a “Buy 9 get the 10th Free” punch card.

Naw, that's sandwich shop thinking right there...gotta go with tires. Buy 3 - 4th's Free!

If you have that real high number it's gonna alarm the ambulance chasers, and then the insurance agents and then the whole procedure is under mass scrutiny.

Gotta be tires.

Happy Friday… Few inches of snow on the ground expecting more between this afternoon and tomorrow. I always say if it’s gonna be cold we may as well have snow. Although I would give anything for a little sunshine to go with it.
Have a great weekend all

Now it's raining and 33.

Sposeda rain the rest of the day and then go below zero overnight.

I'm thinking today might be the best bet for Chicago boat show. Unfortunately the train only stops at Mccormick place on weekends and auto show, not boat show. So I'd have to drive the whole way. Maybe no boat show. Well see.

Ran to Walmart, a coworker told me they had a ton of huge lego sets on clearance. They are clearance tagged, but they're full price. Looked for a new pair of warm slippers mine got holes in the bottoms. Biggest size they had was 11-12 but it was on the small side I can usually squeeze into 12s for stuff like that. Need to order a 14. Roads weren't terrible. Just slow moving.

Went to boat show.

Good choice. Took 40 minutes to make the hour drive. I've never seen the Dan Ryan so empty in the middle of the day.

There were more sales people than spectators. By far.

Got to go on even the million dollar boats that usually they want you to fill out a form to enter and be escorted by sales staff.

The boy loved it.

One of the best quotes from an NFL football coach comes from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' first head coach, John McKay. The Bucs where an expansion team and lost 26 straight games.

During that losing run, a reporter asked John McKay “What do you think of your team’s execution coach?” John McKay's reply: “I’m in favor of it.”

That's another good one.

This one would not pass the modern day censors:

"After the Buccaneers won their first regular season game against the New Orleans Saints during the 1977 season 33–14, McKay mused, 'Three or four plane crashes and we're in the playoffs'."

"There are three things important to every man in this locker room. His God, his family, and the Green Bay Packers. In that order.” - Coach Vince Lombardi

His quote on how to be successful as a football player (but I would extend that to life in general if you replace the Green Bay Packers to your chosen focus in life

Then there's this: What the Hell is going on out there?



I need to made some Tee shirts and sweat shirts with this.

Six inches down, an estimated seven more overnight. Sustained winds holding at 35, gusts from 45-50.

Gave the storm wrong directions away from your place, Bucky. Hope it works out for you.
