Yeah it was a great day Joe, the Pompeii exhibit we went to was fantastic.
Sorry to hear you have a throat infection, nasty! Hopefully your meds start working soon, a sore throat is nasty business!

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

I can fast see tomorrow with the whine and click of a battery that has been defeated by the cold. I'll keep my fingers crossed it does not happen, but who am I kidding. Almost 3 years on a factory battery!!! HB!!! You know it's going to die!!! lol Sleep well everyone, and think murderous thougthts fo Guid on his Sunny island!!!

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.

HRMG, if I didn't have a heater underneath my desk I would freeze to death! As I did the first two years I worked there and was always sick. Since my little heater, it's odd for me to be sick. I know all about the transparency of scrubs, as that is what I wear to. Not only are they drafty, they make you look like a balloon not mater what brand you buy! LOL
