We are in the 8-12" range for Wed. I guess we can't keep it at bay all winter.

Yeah Bov I didn't wanna get much into it earlier but I've caught more than my fair share of grief over those damn keys...All she ever does is push...then push some more...Nothing no matter what or how much is good enough...For instance I scored 5 gallons of pecans last week....First words outta her mouth...."Do they have any more????" Always thinking she can talk herself out of what she has previously said really grinds my gears as well...I've seen it all at this point and would like too think every time I learned from the experience...
I got the feeling earlier my wheel guy was playing both sides against the middle...I was correct...Plan B is activated and Winston Salem is tomorrow's destination...Mickey Thompson Classic IIs...They were nicer looking any way...These tires require a 16.5 inch rim...really I believe that's to keep the public from being able to utilize them...That size was the 3/4 and ton pick up rim size for many years but has been phased out...New offerings are crappy looking and Chinese...There is a plan C with identical Mickeys at a Franklin more...Hopefully it won't get too that...The guy I scored the tires from frigged up and grabbed three load range Es and one D...Hell yeah I dropped the frikken hammer on his price when I found that little tidbit...I faked an incoming call and called the guy he got the tires from and covered my azz with a no problemohh trading the D for an E...The new load should be here over the weekend as there are none now...Earlier tonight a long time friend called and said he had a new E...He'd tried his best to push a set of these tires my way before...They were the Goodyears however and I just ain't feeling those...BFG Baja TAs though!!!! With a good set of the correct size wheels I can cherry pick future loads of these tires...4 for 300...Afghanistan experienced rubber!!!!!!!!!
I hear any more about those damn keys there could be a little car crushing happening!!!!!!!!

Good morning, Peeps. I will be getting the snowblower out today, just in case I need it. It's too early for the white stuff !!!!!
Bov and Fran, look at the bright side, we don't live in Buffalo !!!!!
Dee, I didn't really have a mother, she was an abuser, became bedridden with Multiple Sclerosis and died when I was 35.

Thanks, Dee. Sorry to hear about your aunt. My mom was 59 when she died. All things balance out, though, my dad is still kicking and doing quite well, at 93. He was the "good" parent and a hell of a nice guy. I thank God that he has lived this long.
I've never had a desire to live in Buffalo!! I am so not looking forward to this storm.
I'm not looking forward to it either, but I got the snow blower ready a couple of weeks ago.
Apparently $2.99 each is a steal on 60w equivalent LED light bulbs. I picked one up at our Job Lots one day last week, and Katie decided that she wanted a few for the lights that we use most often, so I went back to get more today. They were all gone...a whole section of LED bulbs gone. I spotted the manager and asked him about them and he told me that whoever stocked them priced them wrong and someone bought a whole buggy full of them
Pity I didn't have the cash with me to get more when I first found them! I found the next cheapest ones at Home Depot for $6.
I'm sorry about your Mom, Jerry. My Dad died when I was 5, but from what I learned about him after I was grown, I wouldn't have had much of a Dad if he had not died.

From what I saw, Bov, you are on the edge of the heaviest snow, maybe you won't get it. They are saying 3 to 5 for us.
It's too early for this junk, Fran !!!!! Makes me wonder what winter is going to be like.
