Shoot-the-Shit Thread

So true. We are building a house closer to the lake, so I went to shovel the sidewalk last night, there’s maybe a few inches. At my home directly up the road about 5 km up the escarpment, I have piled my driveway snowbanks higher than my head. It’s comical.

How many years did Russia have to prepare? Wasn’t it like 7 or 8? That’s crazy. It seems there are very few foreign spectators other than journalists.

I hope this is all very embarrassing for their dictator.

unreal…Where is Mark Wahlberg in Shooter when you need him?

See the Nogaro RS4 ‘special edition’? It’s apparently 8,000 pounds sterling more than a similarly equipped RS4 Avant. 12,000 euros more.

What does this approximately 15,000 get you?

nogaro blue paint
nogaro suede seat inserts
blue stitching on steeering wheel

THAT’S IT. WTF.

It will be way sicker than the other RS4s

Wow. But yet I’m not actually surprised.

that was a great story.

Most career criminals start early on right. Damn that was interesting how he got away with the Lambo.

I have never seen snow come down this hard. And it even thundered several times this afternoon. This winter has been just off the charts. We’re nearing records for most snowfall and most number of days below zero - both in the same winter. Craziness.

Outside my office window. The pic doesn’t even fully capture how bad it is out there.

Ohh - Thundersnow!

Sounds like I moved away at the right time.

Isn’t it a holiday in the us?

Another 10 cm tonight predicted for SW ontario and the horseshoe… great year for my first snowblower!

not entirely anymore, many people work today

Ya president’s day. But it was still a work day for most people, myself included. Schools were probably closed.

It is a US government holiday. Any company following the Fed holiday schedule takes the day off, too. Corporations rarely take this day off.

Interestingly, for the first time ever, I got today off. High of 72°F, clear skies. Spent the day detailing cars, doing taxes (damn incorrect 1099-Bs), cooking, and goofing off with my children. Great day.

Pretty nasty out
