the Big Game is Big News this evening here in town...

good thing they got low buc seats for those wanting to attend, but on a budget...

* about $1,000.00 will get you one of those. 'seats up in heaven' they are called. bring binocks!

* ave. fan's tickets close to $3,000.00 ...each!

* but for those not wanting to sit with the masses... $15,000.00 or so will get you a seat of distinction...

* if still not good enuff and the $25,000.00 seats just too common for you yet, there are some running $44,000.00 each this evening...

* of course, like most things... some are or at least can afford the view of being cream of the crop! and so, if u r in town tonight and might want to set aside sitting aside and away from the maddening crowds...

$70,000.00 each seat will get you a privileged view of the game!

some just hoping to get to see it for free! over 500,000 were w/o power this afternoon due to passing thunderstorms and very high winds! this months elec bill paid in full!! might not get you 'in to see the big game!'... no power, no service... no game!!

UW the under dawgs they say. but being my alma mater i will be rooting for them!! "Go Dawgs!" both teams undefeated...

straight from the University of Washington at Seattle...

No snow tire has complete control on ice.

But they are a hell of a lot better than all season or all terrain tires.

Picked up a set of hakkapeliittas (left) for the corolla. If it ever snows I probably won't even need to plow!

Nokians are the best snow tires

I know the rain is predicted for tomorrow and Wednesday and will ruin it, but this morning the temperature is in the high 20s, the sun is bright, and the new snow looks pristine! Got to enjoy it while you can!

Chains are your friends... No one likes them, especially other drivers while you are driving slow with them, or searching for a place to un-chain. I always wanted to try those tire socks. Any one have experience with them ?

He's still in the hospital, and doing well all things considered. Lost a kidney, broken vertebrae, acl and mcl torn, and broken ribs. They fused like 4 vertebrae together and he was communicating with them not long after.
Thank God it wasn't worse.

15 mins for the 15-0!

Nokians are the best snow tires

Ehhhh, I’d say third best

Blizzacks
Winterforce

Then
Nokians

I actually tossed new tires on my truck today, gonna do up with wife’s SUV when she returns from Tennessee dropping off the older daughter this weekend

As for the guy saying tires are all it…. Nah a good posi/locker rear. I’ve driven in PLENTY of crap weather in RWD vehicles with substandard tires. But if both tires are churning, I have a chance of reaching my destination. I’d take a good locker rear over anything else (except chains)

Have a good night fellas. Gonna try and get some sleep now

Most of the vehicles that you see in the ditches during a storm are 4x4's and AWD. A lot of the people driving them are really morons. They think that they can do 60 and 70 on the highways when covered with snow.

I’ve seen that too, they think it’s a “Magic” button.

The chainsaw was driving under the influence?

Looks like a Grizzley tore that saw apart.

My guess is that saw was a landing saw used by a chaser for bumping knots on a logging job somewhere and it was probably left on the road right in front of or behind the track on a log loader. Operator didn't know it was there and moved the machine up or down the road a little bit to grab more logs to load out and then... ..."opps", EL SMASHO!!! I've seen it happen more than once! Not by my hand of course. I've never smashed a power saw.
Either that or @chipper1 has been tip'n timber again. Cut a corner on his hinge and decided to weight test one of them hard woods!
