The cold zealots gang up and sing odes to ponds. Whatevs. Who said you were sulking? You do repeat yourself, ad nauseam, about your distain for the cold/dry weather though. And you do seem to be oddly disturbed (bolded) by those who just roll with it and enjoy it for what it is, as if they somehow willed it here. Get a grip.

North Balti Zen Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Your post was in response to mine Cape, so I responded. You literally quoted a post of mine. Get your own grip. And I even posted in banter for god sake, to leave the long range thread alone, but that’s not even ok apparently. Like what you want, but it’s ok for me to like something else. But, you win. No more from me. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I went for a four mile hike yesterday, does that get the required approval? I am not staying in. I simply don’t like this kind of cold as it tends to kill legit snow chances. Again, no watches and no warnings so far this winter. And for those of us without wood stoves, leads to huge bge and pepco bills. So sorry for having feelings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Brewed in collaboration with family-run outdoor clothing company Woolrich, Pennsylvania Tuxedo is a sessionable concoction with a grassy citrus kick complemented by the resinous conifer notes of fresh green spruce tips. We went into the forests of north-central Pennsylvania and Georgetown, Del., to pick these fresh tips ourselves. A dry yet doughy malt backbone lets the hops and spruce shine while still balancing out the bitterness, making this one an easy sipper." Lol. Now that's a well-planned day! We are attending a NYE party tonight so I need to pace myself today. I don't want to that person at the party. But that didn't stop me from starting my day with a shot of Mary Hite Bowman's Caramel Bourbon Cream in my coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It's coming, we know the pitch will be slow as molasses, we just have to be patient, here it comes, we know it's going to sink at the last minute, but we're ready for that, the pitch, here it comes, we've got it, we've got it, wait for it, wait..... swing! missed the GD thing again!!! and we were so ready.... as we head back to the dugout holding our heads in disbelief" Man that brings back some memories. Loved to watch him pitch and and have the batters flailing around like they were swatting at flies. Always good for a laugh. And you know what, you're right, it fits perfectly into what we do with 90% of our modeled snow here. Makes me wonder if I get laughed at for flailing away at the models just like I used to laugh at the batters years ago. Guess that would be poetic justice.

I know Ji knows where I am coming from. So far this winter reminds me of 2010-11, where we got pennied and nickeled to death. Not even many dimes. One big storm in late January. But I ended up with nearly climo snowfall. Not really a memorable winter, but could have been worse as we were shown 1 year later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder if I get laughed at for flailing away at the models just like I used to laugh at the batters years ago. Guess that would be poetic justice. Remember how the umps used to shake Phil down for evidence of some "illegal substance"? AKA KY Jelly... The only baseball comparison I can think of was Gaylord Perry, who used similar tactics to baffle hitters for 22 years, well into his 40's. Niekro and Perry were two peas out of the same pod. As for this confounded hobby/art/compulsion we call weather, I intentionally leave "science" off the list because it seems luck is the determining factor in us getting any of Mother Nature's dandruff around here, just as luck came into play trying to hit Niekro and Perry. But as Jim Carey said and many others have quoted, as long as there is SOME chance, that's something to shoot for. Can only imagine the collective rejoice and relief here in the forum if this were to play out in our favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Cold is cold. For as brutal as the next week might be temps wise, I’ll still take this 10/10 times over the 3 Hs in summer.

I agree with NE Balt that the fun is when things are stirred up so that something is happening. Wet is best regardless of time of year. Hot/wet, cold/wet.

North Balti Zen Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Got an oil change at a Firestone, once, H20. They clearly drained it of oil but never put new in. This was when I was living in Memphis. I discovered it with my three year old son in the car 150 miles east of Memphis on I-40 when the engine blew. It was...not good.

H2O Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Ok this is what happened down at the inlaws and I got time to kill Friday morning. Car needed an oil change so I said let me go take care of this. I have a $10 off coupon at jiffy lube. So I go and right away I see these guys are not the Jiffy Lube A-team but they seem to do ok. As I’m driving home I smell oil burning. I figure they got a little on the exhaust and it will burn off I had to run out later and while at a stoplight I smell oil again and see smoke. I get to where I need to be and open the hood. Oil is everywhere. I look under the car and it’s dripping into puddles. Thankfully a car shop was like a stones throw away. I limp the car there and beg if they can see what’s up. Now my car is a Kia Sorento and I gave up doing my own oil years ago when car makers designed oil filters that were behind exhaust headers. Kia designed their oil filters to be cartridge that sit inside an egg shaped cylinder. That’s what Jiffy Lube fuucked up. Theres a gasket that seals the two egg halves. These clowns put the gasket on the threaded part instead of the gasket seat. So oil was gushing out from the filter. Car holds 6 qts. They had to replace 4 qts eff Jiffy Lube and their refund policy is fuucking awful. They file a report, corporate reviews and calls me and then I might get my money back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
