Hey..Do any of you yanks plug in your vehicles? I ask because this girl I know in Detroit laught her ass off when I told her I forgot to plug my Blazer in...It gets cold in Detroit? Have any of you heard of a block heater?

I don't know why, but I have. Oh, what you don't want to have is a freeze-plug blow.

Yep... I remember block heaters.
Don't need them here, but I always get a chuckle when I see a car with a plug hanging out of the grill.

Yep, I had a block heater when I lived in Wisconsin. I also had an electric blanket for the engine on those -40F wind chill days. I don't miss the ice and snow......and especially the salt on the roads.

My cars are plugged in at this very moment.

It's up to a cool 32 and sunset is about 40 minutes away. It's going to be clear tonight and 20 degrees. I just love this place.:ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF:

In high school I left my car plugged in and drove to school with the extension cord dragging behind me.

Then the fucking school office announces over the P.A., "Whoever left their car plugged in this morning. We have your extension cord in the office."

Not very fun to be walking out of high school with a bright orange extension cord after that announcement.

I took the family out on the boat today. It was nice. 78 degrees, 22% humidity, sunny. I did hear on the radio about you guys with shit weather though. Man, that must suck.

Now there is going be to an ice strorm in the Midwest.

[slayer32390]

Yeah, but aren't you like 5000 feet up? I have my front door open so I can air my joint out and get rid of the smoke.. I am sitting right next to a very nice and small wood burning stove. But, I won't use it. I think wood burning is just a polluting waste of money. And if I started it up, my guitars would probably gravitate to it.

i think firewood costs more than your guitars anyways :ROTF:
:ROTF: ah sorry fett i just couldnt pass that one up here in rhode island it has been rather mild and even warm on a few occasions all winter. im glad to have a break from the cold for once and plus it means i dont have to drive in the snow when ive only had my license for a week

*yawn* Day number 3 of -40+ with the windchill factor. A day ago it was -47 with the windchill.

The coldest day I have ever been out in was -57 with the windchill. Insta-freeze. I cant imagine not having cold and snow half the year :s
