Freakin' Wisconsin - Is Winter Over Yet?

Interesting, how an entire thread just suddenly becomes 'lost' or something.

 

no need to come here, its about 18 degrees as i speak. We're getting our *** kicked!!!!I DONT KNOW HOW YOU NORTHERNERS STAND IT.

 

It's freakin 28 here right now. It never get this cold here!

 

Here in Tucson where all your old people are now we run for the flannell shirts when it gets to 70. I got a sunburn working in the garage drinkin iced tea.
73 degrees right now with a wind chill of 85,lol, and I've never had to shovel the snakes and scorpions outta my driveway.

 

Loaded my board in the RPU and hit the beach early for a couple of hours surfing this morning. Looking forward to a week of temps in the 70's. Yesterday I went for 1 1/2 hour bike ride in the morning and then worked outside in the sun putting a patch panel in a friends Nomad. It got kinda hot in the sun. I'm not spending any money on heat in the winter or AC in the summer. Might cost more to live here but I say it's worth every penny. Snow is for snow cones!

 

Just don't fall into the ocean with the next big quake or get burned down by all the fires out there. Everything has it's pros and cons. If i lived out there i would never get anything done, the weathers do damn nice. At least here I'm forced into working on cars in the winter cause there ain't much else to do. Yes i do get the sarcasm in your post!!! Good day mate.

 

LOL at all the softies here.

It's just cold, after -20F, any colder, and it all hurts the same.

 

Gun man low and slow relax your goin to blow a valve your in the heartland sit back enjoy it will soon be over, and then think about all the madness in the summer of 2010 one of your next door car nutz across the river in burrrrrrrrr mn hell we,re used to it

 

We just recieved a dusting of snow here in NE Ark 11 degrees. Just returnrd from Ill in the semi hadto put fuel treatment in the tanks the fuel was gelling up. The Mississippi river at Cario Ill at the old bridge was freezing up. Where is that mythical Glowbull warming when we need it? Oldwolf

 

18?! That's a heatwave! Don't even need a jacket.

We put shorts on when it gets around 35 here!

 

Southern Florida.

 

Aint that the truth!?! I LOVE seeing the kids walking around town.... Shorts and a winter jacket! Now THAT is a fashion statement!
HEY!! It beats the hell outta the pants hangin' off of ***es with daddys baggy *** boxers showing.

 

forecast for another 10-12 inches today and then the polar express. ONLY THREE AND A HALF MORE MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

10-12 inches and my snowblower just broke a shear pin.

 

hate to see that! my friggin OJ is gonna double in price agian!!!

 

If you want to feel a little bit better, just think it could always be worse... Here in Bismarck, tonight, into tomorrow 1/8/2010 they are projecting a low of -30F, the air temp isn't what ****s, it's the wind with a wind chill of -50 or worse.

Lots of trucks get into trouble with diesel gelling issues, gas lines freeze up... Unless you are prepared. Locally we are prepared to handle this weather, but it is hard on things non the less.

 

I love this ****!!!I should say I love the snow not the crazy bitter cold.All the complainers should move.I do get a little sick of it come March but it is what it is.Good thing I like snowmobiling as much as hotrods and cars!!It will eventually melt,it's a nice change not to have to work on all my old cars.I also enjoy plowing too.lol

Holy cow already 19 heading for a high of 24! Hey Grandma wheres my swimmin trunks and sun tan lotion!!!! Almost feels like the roadster days of winter!!

 

I'm pretty tired of this brutal winter as well. I had to wear a long sleeve shirt yesterday. And long pants as well. And it was up hill both ways in the wind.

 

Just do what I did, put a Grade 5 in there!

My 1971 Toro loves to chew up things, and broke too many.

 

I'm gonna stop at the store on the way home and stock up on Frozen OJ.

 

Then there was the time I went to a Superbowl party on my Harley in Milwaukee.

Lake effect snow kicked up before the game was over. Should of seen the looks on peoples faces! 20 Degrees outside, snowing like crazy.

Maybe I should invent windshield wipers for Harleys?!

 

If this doesn't warm you up, I don't know what will!

 

I love the word *****, use it all the time to describe my co-workers! The old Bowery Boys movies used a lot of malapropisms(?) and they called people maroons.

 

A Russian and Ole the Norwegian wrestler were set to square off for the Olympic Gold Medal. Before the final match, the Norwegian wrestling coach came to Ole and said, "Now, don't forget all the research we've done on this Russian. He's never lost a match because of this 'pretzel' hold he has". Whatever you do, do not let him get you in that hold! If he does, you're finished'. Ole nodded in acknowledgment.
As the match started, Ole and the Russian circled each other several times, looking for an opening. All of a sudden, the Russian lunged forward, grabbing Ole and wrapping him up in the dreaded pretzel hold. A sigh of disappointment arose from the crowd and the coach buried his face in his hands, for he knew all was lost. He couldn't watch the inevitable happen.
Suddenly, there was a scream, then a cheer from the crowd and the coach raised his eyes just in time to watch the Russian go flying up in the air. His back hit the mat with a thud and Ole collapsed on top of him making the pin and winning the match. The crowd went crazy. The coach was astounded.
When he finally got his wrestler alone, he asked, "How did you ever get out of that hold? No one has ever done it before!"
Ole answered, "Vell, I vas ready to give up ven he got me in dat hold, but at da last moment, I opened my eyes and saw dis pair of testicles right in front of my face...I had nuttin' to lose so wid my last ounce of strength I stretched out my neck and bit dose babies just as hard as I could."
So the trainer exclaimed, "That's what finished him off!"



"Vel not really. You'd be amazed how strong you get ven you bite your own nuts!"

 

Here is something for my Wisconsin friends. I am working on a new website. My good friend Tommy Kujava hosts the Wheels TV show on time warner cable. Some of you have seen it I hope. If not, NE Time Warner it is on channel 411 Wisconsin ON DEMAND. He has done 70+ shows, most of which are pretty cool. I am in the process(slow process) of editing, converting and uploading all of them to a web site....TKWHEELS.COM. Check it out. If you have any feedback....or would like to sponsor the site, let me know.

It takes a couple hours to do each episode(to date I have only had a chance to do a couple), so check back on the site often to see them as I upload them.
