Going to continue the drive to Buffalo. About 2 inches on the ground now with 3-5 in the forecast. Debating if I should pick up some cement blocks for more weight in the back of the Silverado.

I think you can get QuickCrete tube sand for about the same price by the time you match up the weight. The blocks can be easily stored outside though. The sun may attack the sand bag over time.

Went in to work for a short bit to fix something real fast.

Looked at a Trailblazer. Small rust through spot on the hood and on the one rear door corner, the other door had some bubbly paint on the lower lip, and there was quite the crusty mess on the top of the passenger side shock tower in the engine bay. Price was good, but still too much rust for me. Passed on it.

Got my property tax bill today. Joy. Could use my federal return to pay the property taxes I guess. Use one to offset the other.

Doing some laundry and dishes later.

Maybe should set those mouse traps in the attic to see if I catch anything :undecided:

Redbull crashed ice tonight. Expecting 100k people. Everyone from the East is being directed to the exit where the valet stand I work is at. Going to be crazy! :crazy:
 
Troubleshooting my water softener. Realized the reason it isn't working at all is it isn't drawing brine. It hasn't used a bit of salt since I moved in. Not sure if it is fixable or just needs replaced.
 
That was CC n Ginger Ale. Now drinking free beers.

I forgot to mention if anyone has the sliders on their HVAC controls a heat gun will get the knobs right off. Very easy :)

LMC Truck sells the little knobs as replacements. Wish I knew that before I broke my HVAC sliders.

Stopping in Corning, NY for the night on my way back home from Buffalo. Weather is making the trip hazardous. Will be checking the forecast tonight. Hopefully it will be better tomorrow.

Good idea with the cinder blocks. Adds weight, it's easy and cheap to get a lot of weight, the design of the block lends to being able to strap them in at the ideal location using the tie-down points (360), and one of my favorite points -- if they get hit with a lot of sun through the window, you shouldn't have worries about a mess when removing them. A piece of cardboard or something could protect the carpet from potential dust.

As for what I've been doing.... working, being ill, deep-cleaning, and now finally wandering the Internet at large since I have some time to sit down at the computer.
 
Smoking my breakfast.....

Best practice is to dip the razor blade into rubbing alcohol between cuts....
 
Started w that and then decided drinking alcohol and deep frying breakfast was far superior of an idea
 
Drinking some coffee and chillaxing. The tryout my buddy wanted me to go to is tonight and I figured I might as well see if I have any juice left in the tank

Going to the carwash and then BK with my lil helper Ruby :)
Oscar is asleep, Akira is gonna mop and sanitize the house
 
Checking out the gun show in town this weekend followed by going to my buddies place to take a closer look at my sled since I have learned it may not be what I was told it was. Then most likely slinging pizza for a few hours.

Cooked a roast with potatoes and baby carrots. Topped it all off with some homemade mushroom gravy. By the wife's OMG's and moans, I'm guessing she likes it. [emoji1]

Went to my shop today to get back on the trailblazer trim panels and got swamped with work. Told the trailblazer sorry but I don't get paid to work on you LOL. But really if every sunday was like today I'll open up 7 days a week.

Worked for about seven hours and seriously would have rather been skiing or snowboarding. Now I'm home relaxing with the family and getting ready to chow. Btw...it's good to be back on Gmtnation. Been way too busy.

Back from from dropping daughter off for her last semester at Buffalo. Pulled snowblower and generator out of shed.
 
Watched the Bulls play like :lipsrsealed: and lose to the Heat earlier. Helped the roommate try to troubleshoot how water was getting in the midgate area of his XUV. Couldn't find the point of entry after pulling interior panels and pouring buckets of water on the roof and door seams. Since The Interview was available on Netflix, we checked that out. :hopeless: Glad I didn't pay money for that...

Now, chillin and watching some TV. May check out the 1st quarter of the Pro Bowl, then again maybe not...

Got home from the tryout about 30 mins ago and boy was I pleasantly surprised with it. Used the all the testing drills as a nice warm up to ball drills. Felt pretty good on routes. Caught everything except one, bad throw but I got my hands on it so I should have brought it in. There were some athletic guys with the wide outs. Ended up playing some corner in 1 on 1s which I surprised myself there. All in all I'm happy and it felt great to lace em up and play again
