| rick_h_ | greg-g: have fun, hope the sap isn't too bad | 01:10 |
|---|---|---|
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: yea, erica went to the store, out of things, crazy | 01:10 |
| rick_h_ | bad when the weather hits on normal weekend routines | 01:10 |
| rick_h_ | extra people out to 'prepare for the storm' | 01:10 |

| greg-g | seriously, my bank just gobsmacked me | 06:10 |
| _stink_ | greg-g: awesome! | 14:32 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: woah. | 15:42 |
| cmaloney | Note: Meeting tonight is canceled. | 15:50 |
| cmaloney | http://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/meeting-2014-01-05-canceled/1381 | 15:50 |
| jrwren | greg-g: yeah, awesome | 15:57 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: but... its a virtual meeting. the snow doesn't hurt us, it helps us :) | 15:58 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: Yeah, I know | 16:05 |
| cmaloney | but if there's nothing really to talk about then there's little point to the meeting | 16:05 |
| cmaloney | that and I don't want folks to get confused that there's no meeting on the portal | 16:06 |
| jrwren | ah, cool | 16:06 |
| cmaloney | Trying to keep it quiet so when we merge to the ubuntu-us-mi section of the portal there's no problems. | 16:06 |
| cmaloney | or few problems. :) | 16:06 |
| gamerchick02 | guess who's not going to Clio today on account of the snow? now i have more time to do... u h. i dunno. | 16:25 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, that's the fun part: figuring out what you'd be doing if you didn't have to do the things that normally keep you busy. | 17:05 |
| gamerchick02 | :) | 17:10 |
| gamerchick02 | i planned on going today so i caught up on all my stuff (cleaning, shopping, etc) | 17:10 |
| gamerchick02 | i'm doing laundry now. whoopie | 17:10 |
| gamerchick02 | gotta restart x, brb | 17:10 |
| rick_h_ | wheeeeee | 17:20 |
| cmaloney | woo woo | 17:53 |
| gamerchick02 | today would be a good day for sledding. | 17:56 |
| rick_h_ | I think it'll be a good day for some more grocery shopping | 18:24 |
| rick_h_ | and coffee, and the radio store is closed :( | 18:24 |
| gamerchick02 | i'm not going out again. | 18:25 |
| rick_h_ | they say another 6" or so | 18:26 |
| rick_h_ | well, that was from 10am ish | 18:26 |
| rick_h_ | so I figure I've got to go out and test that out towards the end of it | 18:26 |
| gamerchick02 | yes. i hope it stops so things can get cleaned up and i can get to work tomorrow | 18:27 |
| gamerchick02 | after having a week and a half off due to holidays i really can't afford to be snowed in for two days | 18:28 |
| gamerchick02 | well i can but i don't want to be. you know. | 18:28 |
| rick_h_ | yea, I'm getting doubtful that the boy will have day care tomorrow | 18:29 |
| rick_h_ | the main roads weren't bad earlier, at least one lane of them | 18:29 |
| rick_h_ | but that was only 4-5" from overnight | 18:29 |
| rick_h_ | if it keeps going and just as much falls, into the late night, I'm planning on a snow day tomorrow | 18:29 |
| rick_h_ | and looking out the window right now it's falling heavier now than any earlier time | 18:30 |
| gamerchick02 | yeah | 18:30 |
| gamerchick02 | Walton wasn't cleaned off well and Tim's wasn't open | 18:30 |
| gamerchick02 | so i cleaned 4 inches off my car and shoveled behind for no reason. oh well. | 18:31 |
| rick_h_ | heh | 18:31 |
| rick_h_ | I hit up starbucks. They had a few people there. One lane of dixie, sashabar, and such were ok | 18:32 |
| rick_h_ | waldon was fun but passible, the dirt road back was more fun. Full ruts of the good stuff. | 18:32 |
| gamerchick02 | i don't have an off road vehicle. | 18:33 |
| gamerchick02 | so no, not fun for me. | 18:33 |
| rick_h_ | yea, there were more cars driving around than I expected. | 18:33 |
| rick_h_ | For a Sunday and with the scare of twice as much snow I figured more people would hide inside | 18:33 |
| gamerchick02 | i went out once. not going again. :-P | 18:34 |
| gamerchick02 | must be bad in Flint... Kettering is closed. | 18:57 |
| jrwren | yesterday sledding was great. | 18:57 |
| jrwren | but i was a little too into it and now i'm paying hte price. | 18:57 |
| jrwren | bruised tailbone | 18:58 |
| gamerchick02 | ow! | 19:02 |
| === JonathanS is now known as JonathanD | ||
| rick_h_ | ok, I'm tried of shoveling | 21:10 |
| gamerchick02 | you don't have a snowblower? | 21:13 |
| gamerchick02 | :-P | 21:13 |
| rick_h_ | no, it would take up space in the wood shop | 21:13 |
| gamerchick02 | ah | 21:13 |
| rick_h_ | https://plus.google.com/116120911388966791792/posts/PZza5atczqo | 21:13 |
| rick_h_ | I've got a 'snow pusher' and a 'snow shovel' | 21:14 |
| gamerchick02 | nice | 21:14 |
| rick_h_ | usually the pusher does all the work and it's easy | 21:14 |
| gamerchick02 | yeah | 21:14 |
| rick_h_ | except when we get *this* much snow, you can't just push it. You've got to lift it 3' in the air to get it over the shoulders of the drive | 21:14 |
| rick_h_ | so NOW I'm done and tired | 21:14 |
| gamerchick02 | ugh | 21:15 |
| gamerchick02 | yeah | 21:15 |
| gamerchick02 | stop and rest. :) | 21:15 |
| rick_h_ | yea, doing so now | 21:15 |
| gamerchick02 | good idea. | 21:17 |
| gamerchick02 | i'm listening to Rathole Radio and pondering going into work tomorrow. | 21:17 |
| gamerchick02 | i really want to | 21:17 |
| rick_h_ | heh, schools are closed. Means day care is going to be closed which will make for a fun day tomorrow | 21:19 |
| gamerchick02 | ugh | 21:21 |
| gamerchick02 | i doubt Chrysler is going to be closed. | 21:22 |
| gamerchick02 | rick_h_ is that your son here? https://plus.google.com/116120911388966791792/posts/Y1Hv9GFiyUP | 21:34 |
| rick_h_ | gamerchick02 yes | 21:34 |
| gamerchick02 | :) he's cute. into woodworking and Linux? | 21:35 |
| rick_h_ | he doesn't konw what linux is | 21:35 |
| rick_h_ | I don't let him touch much electronics yet | 21:35 |
| rick_h_ | but he loves to play in the woodshop | 21:35 |
| rick_h_ | he doesn't do much yet, but it's fun stuff | 21:36 |
| gamerchick02 | cool! | 21:36 |
| gamerchick02 | maybe you can get him a tablet or something to play with Android | 21:36 |
| rick_h_ | yea, hopefully get him exposed to things early and often | 21:36 |
| rick_h_ | well, I like to keep him into legos, blocks, imagination stuff | 21:37 |
| rick_h_ | try to keep him off tablets, etc | 21:37 |
| gamerchick02 | oh yeah | 21:37 |
| gamerchick02 | lego, blocks. heck yes. i was into all that when i was a kid | 21:37 |
| brousch7 | rick_h_: oh no. You ordered this damn snow. Now you can shovel it | 21:37 |
| rick_h_ | brousch7: :P | 21:38 |
| gamerchick02 | LOL | 21:38 |
| rick_h_ | brousch7: I've been doing it | 21:38 |
| gamerchick02 | yeah, come on over to my apartment complex and clean out the lot! :-P | 21:38 |
| brousch7 | How bad is it over there. I would guess 6" since last night here | 21:41 |
| snap-l | gamerchick02: Trust me: the best they'll likely do for Chrysler is let you telecommute | 21:41 |
| gamerchick02 | i don't have my laptop here | 21:42 |
| gamerchick02 | it's locked in the drawer at work | 21:42 |
| snap-l | rick_h_: Is this what you have? (http://www.amazon.com/Garant-YSP24DU-24-Inch-Pusher-Varnished/dp/B000UGNB46) | 21:42 |
| snap-l | (I think you have the 30" version) | 21:42 |
| rick_h_ | snap-l: http://www.amazon.com/Garant-YSP30LU-30-Inch-Pusher-Varnished/dp/B000A26FPC/ref=sr_sp-btf_title_1_19?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1388958175&sr=1-19&keywords=snow+pusher | 21:43 |
| rick_h_ | best $$ spent on snow work | 21:43 |
| rick_h_ | just don't try to lift it | 21:43 |
| rick_h_ | it's heavy, you just push paths back/forth | 21:43 |
| snap-l | Right | 21:43 |
| rick_h_ | so I also got http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000A28780/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 | 21:43 |
| rick_h_ | which is really light weight | 21:43 |
| snap-l | I might just get the 24" one | 21:43 |
| rick_h_ | and use it for the tossing | 21:43 |
| snap-l | since we don't have that big of a driveway. | 21:43 |
| rick_h_ | snap-l: you want the width and weight to help push imo | 21:44 |
| rick_h_ | just means you need fewer passes, but yea | 21:44 |
| rick_h_ | those stupid things they sell in stores makes it a harder job | 21:44 |
| snap-l | http://www.amazon.com/Snow-Wolf-SW0310-Wheeled-Shovel/dp/B001I7JWTO/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1388958273&sr=8-12&keywords=snow+pusher | 21:44 |
| snap-l | I think I should get that one instead. | 21:44 |
| rick_h_ | ummm, have fun | 21:45 |
| snap-l | Looks like something out of a Steampunk fantasy. | 21:45 |
| rick_h_ | lol | 21:45 |
| rick_h_ | bah This will result in an additional | 21:47 |
| rick_h_ | accumulation ranging from 2 to 4 inches between 4 and 7 PM. | 21:47 |
| gamerchick02 | great. | 21:47 |
| snap-l | Yeah, I think I'm going to go out and take my chances with shoveling | 21:47 |
| rick_h_ | Clarkston, Oakland County. | 21:47 |
| rick_h_ | Snow m8.2 inch, reported by trained spotter. | 21:47 |
| rick_h_ | 8 down, 2-4 more to goal by 7pm, and it's supposed to stop around 4am | 21:47 |
| rick_h_ | /goal/go | 21:47 |
| gamerchick02 | wahoo. >_< | 21:48 |
| rick_h_ | snap-l: how much do you guys have? | 21:48 |
| rick_h_ | Looking at wunderground reports it seems you guys got a bit less? | 21:48 |
| rick_h_ | Snow m2.1 inch, reported by NWS employee. | 21:49 |
| rick_h_ | 2 miles se of Royal Oak, Oakland County. | 21:49 |
| rick_h_ | ? | 21:49 |
| rick_h_ | that seems low, granted that was a couple of hours ago, but still | 21:49 |
| snap-l | rick_h_: Not entirely sure. | 22:26 |
| snap-l | We have enough that my previous efforts at shoveling are gone. :) | 22:27 |
| gamerchick02 | sorry to hear that snap-l | 22:34 |
| snap-l | Something tells me everything will be closed tomorrow save businesses. | 22:36 |
| snap-l | I'm already planning on working from home | 22:36 |
| brousch7 | School is closed already | 23:30 |
| greg-g | nice | 23:37 |
