May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human and
enough hope to make you happy.

Highwind

I figured he couldn't be trusted in anything to do with measurements after he tried to convince me that a matchbook was 8 inches long....

Here's a few others that came to mind:

WOT - Wide Open Throttle

PTO - Power Take Off (engine powered auxillary shaft/clutch)

EOD - End of Driveway (pile of snow the courteous snowplow drivers leave for you to clean up )

TDC - Top Dead Center (upward most point of movement of the piston/rod in the cylinder - sounds obscene )

BTC - Bottom Dead Center (downward most point of movement of the piston/rod in the cylinder - also sounds obscene )

KMFA - what my wife would do to me if she found out I was ALSO in that hot tub (kick my fat a$$ )

Actually, it is a balmy 30° f

here in the "Anchorage bowl".

But it is snowing! Expecting 4-8 inches tonight (probably 3-4 in reality).

yeah we had a few storms allready, only about 4 inches, but that was before I got the new blower, So I havn't had a chance to use it yet.

So have you got to use your blower yet? Do you still have it?

Nope, waiting for snow. At this rate, I might have to get my lawn mower ready. :)
