Cant say that I noticed the members count being on 0 Vail. But then again maybe I was just too cold to notice! I dread this month's power bill! Should shock my socks off!
Ron, glad to hear that other than the hospital acquired pneumonia you Dad is doing well. Hospitials are truely the worst places to be sick! Can pick up staff in two days at one of them. Yuck. Much prayers to him feeling better soon.
DF, glad to see you found your way here today! Hope that means you got your PC conflicts taken care of!
We are having a heat party here today in coldasslandia! The temp topped out at 28 F!!! Almost enough to melt something, but not quite! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by hellrider 31038 from Saturday, January 09, 2010 12:26:10 PM)

Thought I'd take a moment to catch up on some back-reading of the goings ons here...looks like things have been a little quiet around here.
Got the first week back to work under my belt and I couldn't be happier!! There's something about getting back into the swing of things that brings a sense of security back to things. A little something I hadn't shared with my friends here but I feel more comfortable doing so now is that on New Years Eve my Dad had surgery to remove one of his kidney's due to cancer. It's been a battle for him and the family as this is just the latest in a series of "removals" he's had to go through because of the big "C"...but he is recovering fine, albeit slowly. Unfortunately he picked up pneumonia while there and it's slowing things down a bit...reminds me of why I hate hospitals...go to one and your almost guaranteed to catch something!!
Anyway, we got about a foot of snow over last day and a half and now are expecting frigid temps...no snowman or angels for me yet!!!
Hope everyone's doing fine and am looking forward to a great year and some wonderful changes in the upcoming months!!!! Take care all!! Edited at: Saturday, January 09, 2010 5:20:55 AM

Howdy all. I have been unable to access the Board for a period and I am still dealing with some strange goings on here on my laptop so I will likely not hang around today BUT...
Wanted to say "Hello" to you and see what is happening. Ron, VERY sorry to hear it, my friend. Please know I am rooting for him. Hang tough, man. I do know how it is. Justin, always great to see you back on the Board. Wish you would not be such a stranger!
Well, I am off to see what I can do about this diabolic device.

Heya Ron, sorry to hear your dad has been unwell, I hope he starts getting better soon! I agree about it feeling good to get back to 'normal' after the silly season, it does indeed bring a sense of security to things.

Hiya, Ronny!! Good to see you again!!!
Yup, things have been quiet around here. A good thing considering all the crapola that occured in the past few months. Hope your dad recovers quickly!!
Has anyone noticed how the "members online" thing is now always at 0? I wonder why?

Our cat is quite vocally disgusted about the weather- I can't blame her, especially after a weather station 10 minutes down the road apparently recorded -18C (?!) last night making us slightly colder than Moscow. Currently I am watching the frost form on the inside of the window pane. Hope others out there are enjoying better weather!

Hiya everyone! We just got home from Wellington, our capital city a 2 hour drive away, we went to the national museum and saw an exhibit on Pompeii - it was very very good! I'm glad it's a new week, everything is getting back to normal after the holiday season. I hope everyone has had a great start to their week!

Happy metal new year to you all! It's nice to see people are sounding generally happy. That's cool! As for those complaining about the weather, I would really like to feel bad for you, but here at home in the Great White North, it has warmed up to 3.2'F. Warmed up. That's right. It was frightfully frigid between Christmas and New Year, around the -18'F range, without the windchill. BRRRRRRRRR!!! I feel cold just talking about it, and I'm sitting here in long underwear. And I doubt I would survive without my block heater and interior car warmer. It cuts the chill in the van a bit, and keeps my Priest CDs working.

Good Morning, all! So, it would appear that we all made it through yet another year! Great to see you all here on the "other side". So, once again we find ourselves attempting to "get back in the swing", as it were. I read Ron's comments with great amusement. Ron, my friend, I do "get" what you are saying. I recall with fondness those days! I know it would seem odd but I do remember returning to the "grind" and getting back to work. How I miss it.
I have a good feeling about this year. I cannot say why exactly. Just a feeling. It's going to be hard to top the amazing year I had in '09 but I suppose we'll see. More good times and great music ahead! Let's get this party started.

the headlight thing sounds bogus to me. something to gently warm the battery would help but.... unless you buy an electric wrap for it and remember/find locations to plug it in.... dunno. my last car I bought used, replaced the battery after 4 years. maybe I was just lucky. 11 miles should be enough to recharge it fully, I would think.

Is it true if you turn your headlights on for 30 seconds before cold cranking a car it will activate the battery and give you a better start on extremely cold days? I'm really shocked by this battery as most cars I've owned I've had to replace the battery in 2 1/2 o to 3 years. Go Honda!!! lol

5 degrees? That's cold!! Make sure you stay warm Spa. Although yes, it can hurt the power bill a bit. Ah well, it's best to be warm in winter, nothing worse than freezing. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by spapad from Sunday, January 03, 2010 10:22:56 PM)
