Default 15cm of snow

That's the weather forecast for Calgary.

Screw it. I'm going to sell off the summer tires off my DD and run winter tires all year round.

They're only calling for 5cm now.

And I handle it by driving the vette every chance I get, even if I'm not going anywhere.

I gave my wife the Escalade this morning (took the ins off the SRX until fall) because her little GXP Solstice would not do well, but now I think we might not get this snow. And here I am driving around in a little putt, putt car, albeit a nice little putt, putt car....................for a girl........

Well, there is an upside to calgary weather. It can be plus 20 in the dead middle of winter, and all the snow gets melted...then you get to drive the vette!

Today we hate you

Talked to a dealer in Madesto California today, they have 80's for a high, told him that I hated him too,

Guess I'm grumpy today, but did get a call today from Shag. Guess I'll see if my wife will hate me too!

Just remember, for every present you buy for yourself, you have to buy her one of equal value.

(so it looks like she's getting that lake front property after all?)

Just as I predicted, by noon there was not one trace of snow, the roads were dry, sun was shinning. I walked my dog in Fish Creek in a t-shirt, I had the Vette out for a drive, and also had time to take the Wifes Solstice GXP for a Photo shoot in the Park, now that the car's black out is complete. All in all a great day!
