UH OH...this could be trouble

My new laptop arrived yesterday, I set up my new ISP today for surfing and email, the wife is almost 3,000 miles away and I have nothing to do but hang out. I can see myself getting by on zero sleep if I'm not careful.

If you folks see me here waaayyyy too late into the night, someone please remind me to get some sleep. OK?

On a side note, the 560 with Blizzaks on all corners is sticking to the road like it is on suction cups. I haven't spun the tires once on the sheet of ice in the parking lot. Very cool.

Yea, I suppose we could do the IM thing, but we have Nextels with the unlimited nationwide direct connect. With direct connect we can talk just about anytime and the best part is you can hear the inflection and have a much better idea of any underlying meanings.

Not enough snow Dave. A quad would probably be better (plus you can mount a plow on a quad). But it is coming down pretty good right now. In the time it took to eat the roads went from clear and dry to white with two tracks.

Keep Heidi and the munchkin warm.
