It's economical.

But... Why not heated pipes in the driveway? http://www.heateddriveway.com/

We didn't either until after the '77 Blizzard... ...And in any case, I can still hear my old man in the back of head: "GO shovel the driveway so when I have a heart attack the ambulance doesn't get stuck!" 😆 He's probably made it longer than all of us will! 😕😞

Translation: What crawled up your ass and died! 😆

No.

As long as Elway. Probably more.

I never once shoveled my driveway to get to work and I've lived above the Mason-Dixon Line my whole life. Who's got time for that! Why I am a "backer-innner!" 😆 Now... Getting back in into my driveway after work is another matter when socialism is dead that day and neighbor didn't clear a path. What garages are for. I am not gonna work before work. It takes a village!

Will my Toro dealer be able to fix it? I need it ready by Saturday!

Not really given the context. Don't run from the police or helicopter... Won't be rough. Hope they gave the car an "assist." Ain't car's fault, simply making a left turn... How are that to judge a bike exceeding the speed limit by a 100 mph? Nobody's fault but the runner who thought they could use the bike's acceleration to avoid authorities.

The dreaded "left hand turn" got 'em! 😊😉

This was about 30 years after the Donner Party tragedy during winter of 1846-'47... You can see where the Donner Party stumped the trees for firewood. That's how high the snow was. Yikes!

We drove up to Squaw Valley from SanFran... After the 2014 Snovember storm and the shuttle bus driver between Squaw and Alpine Meadows found out that I was from BFLo and he said that when they heard about our 7' snowstorm... People there, in Truckee were all jealous and Jonsing w/BFLo! 😆 Oh... The weather is pretty bad in California. We headed into the Sierras when a string of "Pineapple Expresses" were hitting. Stopped in Sacramento to pick up snow chains for the rental 4x4, there was no way I was gonna be denied... They won't give you chains w/rentals... Caltrans was checking, but we were set w/4x4 & M+S tires... Returned them to AutoZone on way back down to Frisco, got my $200 back. I guess idiots from Coast will head up into mountains with summer tires on... All it takes is one idiot to close I-80 in The Pass.

First one was my old man's favorite! His father/my grandfather's favorite: "If the hound didn't stop to take a *****, it would have got the fox." Pretty simple, but kinda deep too! 😆 Also... My father (died in 2019) probably couldn't find the escape key on a keyboard but since day one knew: "Facebook is nothing more than front porch gossip." 😆... He was blind the last 20 years of his life, lived on NPR. 😲😯😉

A week? My uncontrolled ass would have blown through that in a day! 🤭😁

Boy this is a shock! /sarcasm

Holy Moly! 😆

Awesome! Someone else likes the sugary cereals! 😃😊

Actually... I will share my secret, not so secret. Always make a simple syrup. Put the sugar in boiling water and stir until dissolved. The sugar will stay in suspension... That's how I make my lemonade. You can let the syrup cool and use later, just remember how many parts water and sugar it is. I usually just keep it 2 cups water, 1 cup sugar... Then the rest is filled in with plain water and lemons that the recipe calls for. 😋 😋 😋

Say they did run out of "steak" would they offer a refund? I guess starting a riot is a bit harsh... 😏

1. Fraken Berry by a mile because of: "Franken Poop" https://www.fatherly.com/health-science/franken-berry-stool-medical-condition/ The rest of the best, in the far distance: 2. Froot Loops 3. Frosted Flakes 4. Lucky Charms 5. Grape-Nuts... Because man can't live on sugary cereals alone... And who didn't like Euell Gibbons: https://www.mashed.com/371854/the-untold-truth-of-grape-nuts/ Introduced as an alternative to coffee ☕️in the morning🌄...

Yup. Taking it personal. One of the "4 Agreements." "Don’t Take Anything Personally Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering." No good deed goes unpunished. 🤭😁

WTF... Is a "Korean Drama?"

When they threw the ***** at him. Honorable mention: Every time he loses and acts like a sore loser. Never gracious in defeat... Too numerous to mention.
