That being said, we just went on "morning shift" - no power tools (outside) after noon - to go with the ban on campfires, barbeques, and outdoor welding (hmmm... exhibitionist welding is a thing??!). By the end of the week, we're expected to be in full shutdown - no power tools (especially chainsaws around here), excavators, or construction. If we don't get rain at some point, the parks will be closed for hiking.
oh wow........we often have burn bans here in the summer, and they do controlled burns, but have never seen bans like that. But then we have paid and volunteer fire depts from several towns all in this area.
I have only caved to the cold once. Looked at the weather and it said the wind chill was -56 (actual temp -35). Bundled up and went to get to my car and head to the post office. Made it as far as stepping outside and closing the door behind me. Came right back inside. Screw that!
I lived in Ohio for a long time, and in 1978 we had temps like that. It was a huge blizzard that killed 15 people in dayton I believe. Temps actually got more than -35, wind chill was figured at -75 it was awful. School was closed a lot, but I do remember walking to school and having to breath through a knitted scarf because the cold air would hurt your lungs so bad to breath it in.
is he missing? Hope he can still do the woodvils with the new owners.
My REOs won't be sold, but I like having a cheap device when going to the beach.
I'm not concerned about dropping the REO, more for feeling at ease when going for a swim, and not have to worry about theft. Just got a $14 device that will work fine for the few hours I'm there.
Jup, that's the only reason I can see for something like a copper vape. But then, I don't get to go to the beach or much of any place other than dr appts. but when I was in florida, all I had was my reos, so they went everywhere with me, even parasailing. But it did stay on the boat. If I'd had something else, I'd have vaped while up in the air, but didn't wanna drop a Reo in the atlantic!
The tension and FOMO surrounding some of these, as trunker put it, soulless boxes just makes me shake my head. The REO, OTOH, makes me nod my head.
JUP!
Their all still alive and kickin', I'm still alive and just checking in. Have a good night Reoville!

Hiya!!! Great to see you. I was actually thinking about you last week and wondering how you were.
Loved the pics of the patches. My son has an apollo patch, but don't recall which one. He only has a few, so can't really call it a collection, but loves em.
@Debadoo I hate the VA in Temple. I know, completely random, but I was scheduled down there for one of my appointments last month and was my first time visiting the hospital. I messed up and took I-35 to get to Temple...damn freeway construction, missed my exit and had to travel 4 more miles before I could turn around. Went down some random road and got hung up by a train that I swear was 5 miles long ~15 minutes later I cross the tracks and it puts me back out on the frontage road I was just on...all the bridges are still under construction and closed. Finally got on highway 90 and eventually found the hospital. Then I drive in and can't find patience parking so I end up parking 2 miles away from where I needed to be. Long story short I eventually make it to my appointment with like 2 minutes to spare and everything turned out fine after that. Never again!! Will I travel on I-35 thru Temple, I swear they've been working on that freeway for over a decade it seems like, is it ever going to get finished?

yeah.......that's the joke here that they will never finish. If they ever do get anywhere near the finish line, it will have been so long that they'll have to start at the first part cuz it'll need work by that time. It's awful! But........I shouldn't even tell you this cuz you didn't tell me you were comin to Temple so we could meet for coffee or something...... but at the VA I always use the valet parking. I can barely walk enough to get to where I'm going once I'm in the hospital. Except the times I had to take my son to the ER, that's not too bad.
Glad you'll be poppin in more often! You've been missed!
