BTW, I think I saw Brendin87 (black gc, gold wheels) where 85 and 443 split at appx 4:45. I think that means you live somewhere near me! lol

Garrett's happier than a pig in ****. 15 minutes of running around outside, 10 minutes inside to warm up, then rinse/repeat.

Tough to get him to stay still for any pictures. He's too interested in everything that's going on to listen to me unless I have a snowball for him to play with...

Hey Matt:

How much for that dog? He looks delicious.

The little snow we got here managed to stick to the grass, but nothing else. Good thing, really, since my RS-3s are bad enough when it's cold, much less snowy!

I spent 7 hours one day last year, going around to various parking lots in CP and backroads near me. I'll be doing it again, methinks.

One of my summers blew a few weeks ago so I already have my snows on. Not that I needed them for my area. I am always down for some parkinglot fun. Last year I got chased out of the Target parking lot in Latham. I stopped to take a break and heard alarms going off. While I was stopped I saw a car that pulled into the parking lot start heading towards me so I took off and he followed me out. Luckily the 2 hours a drifting I had done previously had covered my license plate. They couldn't keep up with the Saabaru in the snow so I got away. I didn't know why they were heading towards me at midnight in a parking lot with the alrams going off but I wasn't sticking around to find out.

@dreaded1 Lmao hahaha!! so I'm thinking about asking a store or some parking lot (mccarty ave parking lot?) get the required papers, and get a subie meet going to just drift around? Like each person gets 2 min to drift. Then the next person goes kinda thing....that way we can get a good chunk of people, and be legal?

Edit:added pic to OP

I just brought home the $2000 snow blower I won at work. Now I have to find someone to look at the carb, it sat unused for 3 years and runs a little rough.

What snow...

hydrochloric · « **Reply #19 on:** October 30, 2011, 09:24:37 PM »

Oh man, it was a blizzard! We must've gotten a good 1/16th of an inch up here!

Glad the weathermen told me I was gonna die, I was really well-prepared for the slightly damp roads.

I never had anything like that happen, although last year the Target in CP was using a huge front-loader to clear the snow, and the driver seemed to be of the opinion that if we got near enough to his bucket, he could try to plow us into the rest of the snow. The Home Depot in CP kicked me out when a Mazdaspeed 3 and I were doing figure 8's around two of their light posts (I have no clue who the guy in the 3 was, he just showed up as I did and we started sliding). Of, course, then it was just a cashier they sent out ON FOOT to ask us to leave.

Got essentially nothing in Troy, while 35 minutes away in Stephentown, my girlfriends Father got 10".

I went to get my snow tires & rims from our Apartment Complex basement, only to find that someone had stolen them. Pretty awesome stuff. So, I'm looking for a winter set-up now.

Holy shit! I remember you were ticked that you couldn't get downstairs to grab them before the snowfall. Now they're stolen?! WTF.

Yeah, I thought they had floated off during the flood to join that great garbage dump we use to call the ocean. Bummer man.

I told you I'd get in there... I can't be stopped by conventional dead-bolt locks.

Yep, somebody grabbed 'em. Unless Mgmt moved them somewhere, but I really looked everywhere for a solid hour. That's the second thing I've had stolen from there. Kept a brand new air compressor down there, and that got stolen last year. It's house time I think.
