I love those big mirrors! Makes it so easy on the interstates, seeing what's going on behind me, and in town, not much of a blind spot at all with them.

I'm with Pat on the mirrors. No blind spots! A panoramic view of what's behind & beside me.

That is why I am really considering just getting a set to install. The only thing that I will be losing would be the forward facing reflector that is on my mirrors. I have found them for around $350 for the pair.

I had some ice to scrape off of the windshield this morning (I still haven't gotten used to having the remote start). The township did a good job on the roads, no ice. The school has a 2-hour delay. On the way into the office, I saw 3 girls huddled together on a porch waiting for the bus. I stopped, rolled the window down & told them about the delay. I think I made their day!

Keep the throat punching to a minimum today, Bill!

With everyone in management out, it should be pretty quiet actually. People can just get their work done with no drama lol.

I guess the worst of this weather is going to move in this afternoon yet. Should make for an interesting ride home from work. All the schools up my way canceled today.

Morning Bill, Jason, Bud, John, Pat, Ken, Chris, Ron, Craig and others that I missed. It is not doing anything up here at the moment but snow is suppose to start later today. All said and done, I am looking at 5-10" of snow with some sleet and freezing rain mixed in for good measure.

Good morning Bill, Jason, Neil, Bud, and the rest of the PA crew, happy Thursday! Actually have a decent day in store for us, 50's later today and tomorrow. Of course, on Saturday, when I have to drive to Des Moines, Iowa , supposed to be windy with possible white crap. Super.

Yep. Last tournament in Des Moines EVER! I hate these trips, they are a giant PITA! Never fails that the weather sucks for the drive, also!

This is her last year of club basketball. And I'm glad! I love watching her play, but, it's been a pain in the butt. Practices are late during the week. Games right during the Husker games. Out of town trips that just become a mess. I'll be perfectly fine with her only playing school ball next year at high school!
