Most liked posts in thread: So what did YOU do today

Heading in to work.
1-2” of snow so far and 6-9” more
expected.
Hoping for an early close so I don’t
return to an impassable road and/or
digging myself back into curbside parking
(no garage, no driveway where I live).
Much better than a big swath of the
country, so I’m grateful for that.

 

It snowed here over the weekend, about 8". Then it warmed up and rained. It is almost all gone now. Temperatures are in the forties.

 

We have not gotten much snow in the last 2-3 years, but, since I am from NE Ohio where snow in the wintertime is an every day occurrence, I have ALWAYS had a set of snow tires on hand for my S, even though I now live in west central OH, near the OH/IN line. Last year I ditched my worn out Blizzaks and bought some 16" NEXENS...not as good as the Blizzaks, but worlds better than other brands out there [and a lot easier on the wallet, too].

Getcha some of those, Lee!

 

Same here....63 but still doing track days

 

Got my second Covid-19 vaccine shot today...so far, so good.

I did well today, after getting the vaccine. Tonite, I felt tired and went to bed for a few hours...got up just now and my arm hurts like hell, so I'm taking the recommended dosage of Tylenol and heading back to bed. We'll see what tomorrow brings, but I'm STILL glad I got the shot.

 

I get my first next Tuesday. What a cluster fark it was to get an appointment.

 

I got my 2nd Moderna shot a week or so past, hit me hard for 3 days, now good to go.

As for what I did today, had lunch with Mark an old RMVR race buddy, we used to trailer his Spitfire vintage racer and I trailered my 67 Alfa Romeo GT to the tracks out here in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska and to some of the events in Arizone and California (Phoenix, Palm Springs with Vara). He continues to drive a hot Datsun 510, I stopped long ago, but I do like track days for those with a little bit of need for speed. His plan is Road Amerca, and Austin for a nice vintage race or two, perhaps 2 or 3 at HPR here in Colorado. All he needs is to sort an electrical problem that has been a pisser for this past season. We discussed at lunch, which is a nice way to spend a good hour or so.

I took the 20 Clubby JCW to lunch, nice short drive, dry roads 37 degrees, tires are the runflats summer bricks for sure. Need to up my game before a real track day.

So tonight we are looking for 5 to 8 inches of new snow after 2 days in the 50s, today in the high 30s, sigh! Come on Spring time, it almost March.

Take care, mask up.

I got mine yesterday around noon and lasted until around 7 PM when my arm started hurting, so I went to bed for a nap. When I awoke around 11 PM, it was REALLY hurting so I took two 500 mg. tabs of Tylenol and went back to bed. I awoke today around 8 AM with my arm almost immovable, so I gulped down 2 more Tylenol tabs. It is now almost Noon here and the arm pain seems to be lessening some. Hopefully, I can horse the garbage cans into the house [it was trash night last night] from the street, take
the dog for his walk, and get some groceries before my next dosage later today.

I'm sure glad I have had no chills or headaches.

 

Had my employee review today. Manager gave me very good ratings in everything. Then I told her I was retiring later this year. I'm not eligible for COVID vaccine until June. We're running a bit behind in Canada.

 

Congratulations on your retirement. No matter how good you think retirement will be it’s better.

 

Today I took my 93 yo dad and got him his 1st COVID puncture... Then again on the 30th for the 2nd....

 

All the best to your sweetie Jeff. Positive thoughts sent to Piqua.

I had my second dose of rabies/covid vaccine this morning. So far so good, no foaming from the mouth. Arf!!!

 

Well, I took the afternoon watching the new shower glass being installed on new shower. We did a rather expensive master remodel on our bedroom and master bath. So I hope we can get some of the cost back in 10 years or so when we toddle off to our retirement center or old folks home.

If you are wondering labor cost was 22K, material etc. etc. was cost plus. Colorado is not a cheap place to live. Now I have to watch out for the property tax increase.

All in all, nice luxury bath, happy wife, it is all that counts. I got my 20 JCW Clubby so both of us are happy.

Took my dog for his afternoon walk in the rain, and now we are back home and dried off. On to get my S ready for some work and finishing my taxes this week before heading for the Dragon on April 27.
