Good Morning!!

A long day yesterday installing a number of wall-mounted displays for the Honda Jet factory showroom. I can't show anything until we get the approval from them, but I can tell you this - model #0 Acura NSX was in the same room and it was pretty badass....hopefully, they'll let me post that one because it's slated to be crushed in a few months. Seriously...crushed.

Oh yeah..they had the fuselage of the jet in the showroom as a display model for you to walk-thru. IF you have 5mil and the $ for the maintenance, I say go for it. Take it from me - I worked next to a fuselage display all day, so that kind of makes me an expert now, so....

Oil burner cleaner guy showed up 40 minutes late, that son of a bitch. So I am working from home until he finishes, then it's off to the office for another day of work bullshit.

Looks like I will be able to fit in my long-fucking-run tomorrow before winter officially arrives.

Hello all. Working 7-4 today, which is ok, I guess.

Morning Monkeys.

So there has been a management change that seems to have zero fucks, so I too give zero to the cause. My pay was corrected, so all is right in the world.

Can I call it a day yet?

Morning primates.

We're supposed to get hit with 12-18" of snow from Saturday to Sunday. I'm definitely happy that this is happening over the weekend instead of in the middle of the week and having to deal with crappy commute to work in that mess.

We seriously almost left last night when I got home last night. I'm not sure Haley would have been able to ski waist deep powder though.
I didn’t answer your inquiry as to whether or not it would be “worth it” to play hooky to ski today... I just figured you’d sort it out yourself. Guess I was wrong...

I'm still questioning if I could have made the drive... Was the road even open?

The drive across I-70 to The Place Where the Beer Flows Like Wine was not uninteresting... but open. There were a few spots of Star Wars light speed snow tunnel action, had me a bit gripped when combined with the slippery road surface.

My already pushing ruined day had been fucked. Thank you.

Side note - was it Bad Judgement Wednesday bad?

I honestly can't tell you... considering I was mostly drunk/asleep for the main gnarly shit that @Nick drive through. But my spidey-sense tells me that no, it wasn't that bad. It was like 50-55mph instead of 65mph... slow it down to 45ish here and there when a wind gust would come through. Probably would have been worse up near Steamboat though.

You think we were going that fast? Ha! You were fucking drunk/asleep. @Nick was white knuckled through that shit show.

I was describing last night. I know that fateful drive back from Mojab was worse than that.

That snow was a handful but I've driven through worse. The real issue was @Full Trucker 's windshield wipers, which he apparently got in the mid 90s from Fisher Price.
Yeah... wipers don’t last long in Colorado. Sorry about that.
