    Saw that one in Lake Station In. Around 1997-98. Truck Drivers left them in the road. Solid ice, from I-65 to exit 6. Toll road was shut down also. I made it through running 12-20- 6. Made 2 rounds, Detroit to Janesville. Others were just delivering their first load. I ran that for 7 yrs. Never got shut down for snow. Never had an accident. Always went through the loop, to avoid 294 toll. It’s a wonder. Lot of close calls through Chicago. We’d get a line of 2-5 Trucks Sometimes running tight, hammered down!! Me in the lead. Lol. Mr. Big Shot!!! It was fun at the time. Had to know which lane to be in.

    Georgia has Homeland Security on stand by. Said could get an inch of snow. Lol. Other areas more. Ice is the concern. Top priority, possible power outages. I’m getting out of here. ASAP. Sounds scary!! Lol.

    Remember when laxative commercials used to refer to "occasional irregularity"?

    Well, I just saw one that had a jingle containing the lyrics "if it feels like you're PINCHING OFF A PORCUPINE"....?!?

    SAVAGE.

    In other news— came across some footage that may explain why @okiedokie was complaining about being stove up a little while ago

    Obviously, not a Navy man.
    In the Army, they told us, "Boys, you gotta write 'em, to get 'em."
    In the Navy they say, "Boys, you gotta .......um, know that we have an ex-Army guy here that can read all your mail to you. Now carry on."

    Hazul is still waiting for her Christmas card. She cries every day. I tell her it's probably lost in the mail.

    22 minutes until main engine start.

    We ran the APU on AC for about 5 hours today. And we are not ashamed.
