Jim if you've gotta cancel this weekend just wait 2 weeks and we'll do yours and Greg's all at the same time. We can have a race and see who can get their exhaust on faster.

At least a foot, in my case. I generally have enough in the way of food to last me for a few days, depending on where we are in the month. I don't much care to go shopping, so I tend to stock up when I do go, once or twice a month. As far as cooking, well, if the power goes out I'd be in a pickle (electric stove) but I've lived on cold sandwiches and crackers before. Not being able to make coffee would make me not so nice to be around, but what the heck... I'm no prince anyway, and I generally have enough Coca-Cola around to pinch-hit for it. There's also usually a bottle of bourbon in the house, too, but if there's not I would'nt be making a special trip to get one.

I actually gave up cigarettes because I ran out when I was snowed in once. Talk about "not so nice"...

Morning all. Not even a flake of the white stuff here this morning. So much for 1-3"

Anyways now it's off to go have breakfast and play on some go-carts (indoor track) with the CT chapter then maybe go ice skating with some buddies of mine.
