I've offered a ride to work and back for our daughter and up to 3 co-workers, it's a pharmacy

I do the same thing for the girls where my wife works. At my age, a peck on the cheek from 4-5 good looking nurses makes my day!

Heard there was. Never got off Naval Base back then U weren’t allowed to leave Gitmo as Cuba was not recognized then

Yes, tons of them. Almost all are pre 1960. But most of them have been converted to diesel engines and burn black market fuel oil. I was in Havana in 2017 and rode in a couple of them because many of the classic cars are used as taxi's to support their families. Here's just a few pics from that trip...

But here's the main reason I wanted to go down. We came back with about $700 worth of cigars...

Next time you're down there, grab me the '55 drop top, I'd truly appreciate it.

I was fortunate to hit a window in time where it was easy for Americans to go to Cuba. Not quite as easy now, and it's much harder to bring anything back. That may change if things loosen up again though. But I doubt I'll be able to grab that '55 for ya.

-54F windchill this morning in northern Wisconsin. Sunny out but doesn’t look so great. I’d rather have a foot of snow

Too cold fer this BOIRD. Deceased wife's younger son up there by Phelps somewhere.

Expecting about a 19 inches here and crap shoot on if ice is swinging this far north. It is a matter of miles (as always) here in who gets a foot or more and who gets a couple due to ice. Family about 30 miles south and east expecting 6 inches, friends about 20 miles north and west expecting 2 feet.

We got extra groceries last weekend, filled gas cans and propane tanks for snowblower and heater in garage, moved stuff under cover outside, and well stocked on spirit assistance. Schools, governments, other things already closed for Sunday and Monday. Friends know we will help if we can on emergencies with both truck and van (4 snows, really does well in snow due to good weight distribution) but may not be to able to move. Snow removal is hit or miss around here and biggest advantage we have is being right next to hospital so it gets cleared no matter what.

Expecting to see yahoos out there in their foreign performance SUVs with low profile tires trying to go anywhere. Always a good time watching their interviews on TV and they complain that they were told they could drive through anything. Oh well.

Everyone impacted, stay safe and if you are out there doing your service, thank you. For those in the 60 degree weather, enjoy the show.

I feel for all of you as I sit here in the west central Florida. Supposed to get 18 inches where we used to live in CT.
Here it’s supposed to be 78 today, but monday night get down to upper 30s and only 50 on Tuesday. I know real world problems, going to have to wear socks with my crocs! LOL

 

[diymirage]

Is that supposed to switch between grid and generator power ?

Mine looks like this



Not quite as fancy but
A) it plain works, and
B) approved by the local building inspector so no worries about frying a line man

[markabby]
