Another foot of snow this weekend- great. My poor daughter has an audition / scoring for music tomorrow morning, which looks like it will be right on the middle of the storm. NYSSMA has essentially said there will be no weather cancellation regardless of how much snow we get- I just hope my ex can get her up there. She’ll be devastated if she misses it.
snow was good luck for my kid (oldest) for auditions
didn’t have a foot - but did encounter a couple of 6” snowfalls
and even though his father (me) - at one audition - dropped a bunch his materials in the snow as we were walking up to a building entrance
(mrs t2p and I were frantically attempting to dry some of this stuff with the bathroom air dryers)

Roll right into the garage!
Parking a car in a garage will take getting used to, when we move Back East. I keep seeing all these places with finished basements and I think, "Great! more space!", but then I realize it's probably a wash, since I won't have the garage as a spare room.

Yeah, that sounds about right.
Mrs. GJ has a habit of doing what I call "subvocalizing", where she thinks about asking me to do something without asking me to do it and then gets upset when I don't do what she hadn't asked me to do, because as she remembers it, she had.

I thought about trying to signal and get him to pull over, but couldn't think of a good way to accomplish that (being solo, in a small car, at night).
At last check (several years ago) I was also quasi-osteoporotic.
Kudos on your medical degree.
results are back. Low bone mass. Neck 1.4 T score and spine 1.6 which is probably what the insurance company will use to deny the surgery. It is about half way between normal and osteoporosis. It is the yellow/caution zone.
the results haven't been interpreted yet by my Dr. I'm just guessing about what this means, but i did stay at Holiday inn express last night.

VeloVol, One day when I was coming back into San Jose from the Santa Cruz mountains in a tractor-trailer, some cute girls in a convertible were waving to me. I smiled and waved back, but they kept waving. I rolled the window down and they yelled that my trailer was on fire. One of the rear wheel brakes had oil on it caught fire.

Enticing. How is the pavement and the traffic?
In that area, I've only done Mt. Baldy, which was a pretty decent challenge. Looks like Baldy is shorter but steeper than Hwy 39.

One morning this week, the Dodge had what appeared to be a light dew coating on it. Then I turned on the wipers - *scrape,scrape* - frost. I told The Younger Boy, whom I was driving to work, "This is something I'm not looking forward to when we move." Hence, garage.

One of the weird things about looking at Redfin in Pittsburgh is that twice now, houses where the Smiths once lived have come up for sale. The first was the house my Dad's parents lived in back in the 60s and 70s (when they were in their 70s and 80s). It was like I remembered it - tiny, with archer slits for windows, with a completely unusable kitchen. Then last week, a house in the South Side Flats appeared, which just happens to be the house where my Great Great Grandmother, Elizabeth O'Leary Smith, died back in 1900. It's on Larkins Way, which used to be Larkins Alley, right across the street from the house where another set of Great Great Grandparents lived, the Andrew and Catherine Dignal/Dignol/Degnan (I think they were illiterate and so unable to tell the census taker how their name was spelled), and where my Great Grandparents George H. and Annie May Dignal Smith were married.
The Larkins Alley house was thoroughly "Graywashed" - the usual 'Flipper' remodel with gray Pergo floors, gray walls with white or black trim, black plumbing fixtures, and a kitchen with all new, nice appliances but like it was designed by someone who never cooked. I see SO MANY of those!

Until there's a non-Tesla national supercharger network THAT WORKS RELIABLY, EVs are going to be limited to a few major metro areas, or being Teslas. It's amazing to me that a company that makes cars so shoddily built that steering wheels falling off is a known issue can build a network of superchargers that work reliably. But here we are.
