[01:10] <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'

[06:10] <greg-g> http://blog.grossmeier.net/2014/01/04/sffcu-best/
[06:10] <greg-g> seriously, my bank just gobsmacked me
[14:32] <_stink_> greg-g: awesome!
[15:42] <cmaloney> greg-g: woah.
[15:50] <cmaloney> Note: Meeting tonight is canceled.
[15:50] <cmaloney> http://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/meeting-2014-01-05-canceled/1381
[15:57] <jrwren> greg-g: yeah, awesome
[15:58] <jrwren> cmaloney: but... its a virtual meeting. the snow doesn't hurt us, it helps us :)
[16:05] <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
[16:06] <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. :)
[16:25] <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.
[17:05] <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.
[17:10] <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
[17:20] <rick_h_> wheeeeee
[17:53] <cmaloney> woo woo
[17:56] <gamerchick02> today would be a good day for sledding.
[18:24] <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 :(
[18:25] <gamerchick02> i'm not going out again.
[18:26] <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
[18:27] <gamerchick02> yes. i hope it stops so things can get cleaned up and i can get to work tomorrow
[18:28] <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.
[18:29] <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
[18:30] <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
[18:31] <gamerchick02> so i cleaned 4 inches off my car and shoveled behind for no reason. oh well.
[18:31] <rick_h_> heh
[18:32] <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.
[18:33] <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
[18:34] <gamerchick02> i went out once. not going again. :-P
[18:57] <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.
[18:58] <jrwren> bruised tailbone
[19:02] <gamerchick02> ow!
[21:10] <rick_h_> ok, I'm tried of shoveling
[21:13] <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
[21:14] <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
[21:15] <gamerchick02> ugh
[21:15] <gamerchick02> yeah
[21:15] <gamerchick02> stop and rest. :)
[21:15] <rick_h_> yea, doing so now
[21:17] <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
[21:19] <rick_h_> heh, schools are closed. Means day care is going to be closed which will make for a fun day tomorrow
[21:21] <gamerchick02> ugh
[21:22] <gamerchick02> i doubt Chrysler is going to be closed.
[21:34] <gamerchick02> rick_h_ is that your son here? https://plus.google.com/116120911388966791792/posts/Y1Hv9GFiyUP
[21:34] <rick_h_>  gamerchick02 yes
[21:35] <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
[21:36] <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
[21:37] <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
[21:38] <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
[21:41] <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
[21:42] <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)
[21:43] <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.
[21:44] <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.
[21:45] <rick_h_> ummm, have fun
[21:45] <snap-l> Looks like something out of a Steampunk fantasy.
[21:45] <rick_h_> lol
[21:47] <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
[21:48] <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?
[21:49] <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
[22:26] <snap-l> rick_h_: Not entirely sure.
[22:27] <snap-l> We have enough that my previous efforts at shoveling are gone. :)
[22:34] <gamerchick02> sorry to hear that snap-l
[22:36] <snap-l> Something tells me everything will be closed tomorrow save businesses.
[22:36] <snap-l> I'm already planning on working from home
[23:30] <brousch7> School is closed already
[23:37] <greg-g> nice
