Do you use studded tires? They were banned in Wyoming because they rip up the road if there's no snow. There are times that trucks are required to have chains, but then they have to take them back off when the roads are clear again.

We are allowed to have them from mid October until the beginning of May. They are horrible for unfrozen roads. We don't use studs but I would if they were cheaper.

Good morning all. I'm pretty tired today, I got sad news yesterday, my brother's first wife passed away yesterday, Not expected. I liked her a lot, she was fun to be around, and the nice big sister to me. Even though, she remarried it's hard to think she is gone.

Sorry to hear that Bets. Hugs.

I hope your day goes well. Don't work too hard.

I had an incredibly productive and undisturbed morning. I got a ton of writing done and a bunch of little bits of paperwork that I've been meaning to do for months! Taking the afternoon mostly off as I have a meeting tonight to rest up for.

Sorry to hear that Bets. Hugs.

Thank you. I'm getting over the shock of it.

It's pouring cats and ferrets I think when I get done cutting out patterns I'll start building a boat. BTW does anybody know how to convert cubits to feet?

1 Cubit = 1.5 Foot

I have been thinking what we could do differently for Christmas dinner this year. Due to a variety of circumstances, it looks like it will just be my hubby and I for dinner on the 25th. I didn't want to make a whole big turkey. Thought it could be a chance to do things a little differently. When I looked at the prices of goose, duck, lamb, etc., I wasn't convinced I wanted to splurge. (He and I always go out for this special Victorian Christmas goose dinner in December anyway.) I didn't want to just roast a breast because white meat is our least favourite.

Watching yesterday's episode of The Chew today, I found the perfect solution. Batali was cooking turkey Scallopini. It looks sooo good. So that's what we are having and I am very excited. Here is the recipe. (We ar making different sides. Not interested in the celery root mash.) http://abc.go.com/shows/the-chew/re...cider-gravy-and-celery-root-mash-mario-batali

Yea all my patterns are cut out, at least the paper is. Now to match fabric to the patterns. It's too nasty to go anywhere now!

I didn't know there was a such thing as snow tires until I was on these boards. I don't know what I thought y'all did up where you get lots of snow. I guess I thought maybe you had magical cars immune to the effects of winter.
I hope you don't need them for a while as well.

I hadn't bought snow tires in 30 years. Even in Vermont all season tires did the job with no problem, especially on a front wheel drive vehicle.

 

[donaldtoo]

I want to live in your area! Not to mention BBQ!

Hahaaa...!
It's crystal clear and 74 here right now.

And, no BBQ in site 'round here at the moment, although I am drinking water from a Rudy's BBQ cup...!

 

[donaldtoo]

Ohhh, and geeking out on another rendering by John Hench, featuring the Monorail. One of my favorites of his.
Plus, look at all the other action goin' on with the Sub, Speedway, and People Mover...!

 

[donaldtoo]

Oooo...! One last one.
A concept of part of the original plan for EPCOT with cutaways showing the various transportation levels of separation...!

 

[donaldtoo]

OK gang, I'm out for now...
Have the usual Magical day...!
See yaaaaaaa'...!!!
