  1. We had 8" dump overnight....now it's 8f here this morning. My wife's relatives are enduring -45f temps in ND today.
  2. IF he does....wonder how many other riders he'll take out in the process?
  3. Had some fun last night shooting a different brand of tequila that we got for a Christmas present from my sis-in-law....stuff was pretty damn smooth. Currently snowing heavily...again....got a good 6" on the roof now.
  4. 26f here & been snowing since 10pm last night.... pretty stoked about making it back up my steep driveway in the white stuff yesterday.... Along w/ the new front axles, those 3 dead car/boat batteries make for some great ballast in the back of my truck... no sense in paying good $$ to get rid of 'em
  5. Same vintage & color as the Camaro I had....mine was just small-block power'd & nowhere near that quick though. Pretty cool seeing those smokey black stripes appear outta the corners...
  6. Snowed pretty good again last night... then it cleared off & got colder....14f when we got up. This type of snow motivates me to break out the skis!...
  7. Old Man winter showed up again last night...
  8. Sincerest Condolences Ray..... makes me feel truly blessed as my Dad will be 88 this June...just talked with him yesterday & he's doing great...so is Mom. The Mrs. & I are planning another trip to MN to see them this coming spring. Definitely get out & RIDE!!
  9. Pellet stove stopped working 2 days ago....great time of year for that to happen! The guy I bought it from 5 yrs. ago, came over & sussed out the issue....control board went tits up....should have a new one by Wednesday....right about when the temps are supposed to drop into the teensF. It has been nice not hearing the fan running in that thing.
  10. After a dry winter so far.... & just like that....it shows up... Yesterday morning when I got up, it was 7f....this morning it was 36f at the same 5am time... Pretty wet stuff as the rain has now washed alot of it away...
  11. You're 1 of the 1st UK'rs I've met that actually skis....this is where I learned how to ski... https://skibowl.com/ It was only 50 miles from home...we'd go a handful of times every season...mainly on Friday & Saturday nights. By 7pm most people would pack it in for the night or just head for the bar....so we could do top to bottom runs w/ No lift lines....till 10pm. The cabin in the middle of this pic is called the Warming Hut & it's been there for well over 80 yrs...it's a great feature of this place as you don't have to get ski to the bottom to have a break....have a beer, warm up & then back @ it! My dad put me on a pair of skis there when I was 4 y/o...one of the best gifts he ever gave me.... & my brothers. I've ski'd every ski area on Mt. Hood & the snow has the tendency to be a little heavy & sometimes wet....(known as the Cascade Concrete) but if you can ski it, you can ski ANYwhere. And compared to the snow on the east side of OR, which is noticeably dryer & faster....there's thigh-deep powder sometimes....& is fortunately where I live now.
  12. I do remember that tale.... just about as funny as the time he broke his nose riding his boy's DT 125....
  13. Brings back some great memories @Nute.... spent alot of years night skiing on Mt. Hood here in OR. That 1st pic is nothing but a Ski freeway...
  14. Gotta admit, that'd give Bob's Vespa a run for it's money. Hmmm...maybe a new thread subject?....Battle of the Scooters. That oughta really make Buck's day.
  15. Sounds just like the "Welfare Ho's " we have over here....
  16. Reminds me....need to give our car a bath while the weather is still decent. A nice perk I get w/ the Equinox is that when I take it in for service, it always comes back freshly washed. Gotta do the Trash/Recycling detail today...then fix the Mrs. crock pot so we can enjoy some beef stew tonight.
  17. Slurping down my last can of Irish Death while tonight's Spaghetti dinner digests.....another hour or so, 'Rita's w/ my Better Half are on the schedule.
  18. On-Board w/ Doug Henry racing a 'Lectric 'Crosser....& winning on it. Pretty impressive knowing that his paralyzed legs & feet are strapped to the pegs ...so his cornering speeds are down from the others...but he sure makes up for it getting that beast to hook up outta the corners! Dude definitely knows how to Haul some Ass-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVL7HwD-9nw
  19. Sounds vaguely familiar... only difference is there's NO van!...
  20. Ace ride report @Pedro!! Timing looked to be the name of that game...
  21. Nice pics Phil....definitely looks like that here with our 9deg F this morning....supposed to get colder tomorrow...
  22. 9F here this morning...just a tad bit crispy-cold... The percip levels are amazing low this year....Not complaining, but it could have a Serious effect on Fire season though...
  23. Down right pisser about your car @Six30... After being home for a week now....it's about time I get the led outta my arse & fill my truck up w/ yard debris for a run to the dump...oh joy. Definitely getting a ride in today as well...before our temps drop into the teens F starting tomorrow.
