Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I incorporate a little exercise into my workday. 

I am surrounded by somewhat heavy things that are easy to move around at all times. Might as well put 'em to use. Curls, bench press, chin ups... you just gotta get creative. 

Still no sign of a high above normal, any time soon. 



8 degrees this morning - January 65, 2019. 



F winter.

Beautiful sunny day here, but was 23°F when I got up.  I think this is the coldest we've been all winter.  When it's this cold here it's nearly always clear (radiative cooling).  Snow only happens on those fairly rare occasions where the Gulf sends up moisture and some cold front crashes through, and it doesn't last long.

We should be good to go in a week or so.  All those blooms I saw last week are getting hammered.  The wife has a camelia in a pot that is blooming but hey seem able to survive the cold and bloom in winter.

Looking like another foot of snow here in MSP this weekend. And unlike everything we've gotten this winter, this is going to be the heavy, wet slop that will kill you if you try to shovel it. 

Uncle!

Who-hoo gonna be above freezing for the 1st time in about a week,just in time for some Sugar-Maple Festivals.Supposed to plunge again next week - good times

The first Camaro had a 2 speed automatic transmission (Called "Powerglide").  The latest has a 10 speed (the manual is 6 speeds).  If ten speeds the max for a passenger car?  And this is mated to an engine with a ton of torque available at just about any RPM.  Is that overkill?  I bought a car in 2005 that had a 5 speed auto and I though that was overkill at the time.

If you've ever sat in a modern Camaro, you know it ls like sitting in a bunker.  We rent a convertible at times on trips but I look for the Mustang, even though the 4 cylinder turbo in that car is unimpressive to me.  It also has a 10 speed in it.  The Mustang has better visibility with the top up and more room in the trunk and backseat.

The designers wanted a low roof to look cool on the outside, but inside it's just about a nonstarter for me.  When the wife wanted a convertible it was on my short list, but I was going for the BMW 2 series instead.  Then she said a nice sun roof would be fine, and that saved me some change getting the GTI, which she likes a lot, and it is a very practical car for space.
