Wow we've had one SMALL snowstorm so far, but the mountains are getting pounded (115" base at most of the ski resorts).

Our local ski hills have lots of snow, but in the cities it's rain, rain, and rain....and an occasional dry moment. :roll:

That would make sense if there was "NO" snow, but it is falling on the slopes...



(And they didn't even have to truck it in...)

I went shopping after work. I bought a 5 cup coffee maker. I gave away my 12 cup maker when I moved. It's perfect having a small one. It takes up far less space on the counter.

be like me and dont drink coffee. Then you dont lose the counter space for one. Then again I cant stand the taste of coffee so thats why I dont have one lol.

Spent about $15 more than I had to fixing the chord my dog chewed through on the air hockey table today. guess thats the price I pay for working in an industrial environment so require industrial electrical materials since they stand up much nicer than residential materials. Less likely to fall apart and go bad. Either way I now have a functioning air hockey table again :D.

now to figure out what kind of top I want to put on it to make it function as my kitchen table (old table that was like 40 years old and was a hand me down finally broke down its last leg).

Then spent some time trying to find parts for my 8 year old mini van thats obsolete because GM dropped oldsmobile brand back in 2004 (my van is a 2002 and I got it 2 weeks after it was built in July of 2002). Its hard finding obsoleted parts. Glad I finally did because it was the difference of spending $30 for a control knob and a lug nut cover compared to $200 for the whole HVAC control panel and all 20 lug covers. The control knob broke about 4 years ago and I found a "used" one that fit but didnt match because the indicator was upside down (so setting 1 was high and setting 5 was low instead of the other way around). So an acquaintance of my wifes decided to crank it all the way to high (it was already there) and snapped it off (the knob). WTF for one why would you touch the dials/knobs on someone else's vehicle and two why didnt she ask my wife if she could turn it down???? Ugh sorry that bothers me. I dont have a problem if my wife touches it while I am driving because well a happy wife is a good wife to have but sorry anyone else needs to ask if its ok. Either way im now getting it fixed with the correct part which I feel is way overpriced but I have no choice as I cant find it cheaper.

When I was your age I did not like coffee, either. It was when I took a trip to Europe and discovered good coffee that I started really enjoying it.
We all have our vices. I enjoy 2 cups of coffee every day.
