The Colorado ski resorts will gladly take all of that snow off of your hands!

We're not getting any snow at all this winter. This snow was the first snow we've had so far. It's been pretty bad for the ski hills and snowmobilers. On the plus side though, I haven't had to shovel the driveway until now.

Buug959 · 01-20-2026, 02:57 PM

The view from the "Office" this morning. I was about two minutes late taking the photo. The pink was much more vibrant just before I pulled over and got out. (My windshield was a mess)

Buug959 · 02-02-2026, 06:46 PM

This mornings view from the "Office". We had a little bit of snow last night along with some strong winds.

Buug959 · 02-12-2026, 06:02 PM

This morning's view from the "Office". We had about 20cm (8in) of snow overnight. It made for a pretty drive.

Warning Buug959, you were getting close to the 5 posts in a row trip to the Ban Island rule.

I guess I just save you the trip

My Wife and I spent six weeks or so in Europe over the Christmas/New Year period. We went to many beautiful and interesting places and I even found a couple of car companies, who'd a thunk it!

HFW003 · 02-12-2026, 09:25 PM

Everywhere you look around Muskoka is a great view.

Maybe... just maybe a little too much rum.

I've still got about 100 yards of ice out front of my place. Dammit.

The future of crowned heads of state in Europe seems to be largely queens rather than kings.

The inclusion of a Japanese Imperial Princess is misleading, I think; she will not be an Empress.

EDIT: There seem to be some really good genes in play here. I'd like to be a frog kissed by any one of these beautiful ladies -- and perhaps turn into a prince. Nah -- my wife would object.

Buug959 · 04-03-2026, 07:22 PM

I followed this Mazda briefly in traffic today. I wasn't familiar with circuit sticker so I snapped a photo so I could look it up later. It proved tricky to find but I did figure out what circuit it is. How many of you know?

Looks like Virginia International Raceway. The full-classic circuit.

I took a screenshot of your image, cropped in on the racetrack wireframe, reverse image searched, and that’s what it came up with. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s all I could find.

A good effort. I tried much the same thing. The track I found matched. I don't want to give it away just yet but I will give a hint, it's on a different continent than VIR.

The only way that the sticker could be VIR is if a NASCAR driver drew it, because it's backwards.....
