I learned that the heat was clicking off a lot and the timer could not be fixed. The description I heard made it sound like an electrical fire waiting to happen.
25% seems like a way to big of a gap!
Holy crap. I used to have those same shoes, too. I just tossed them this summer.
Anybody else have these shoes?
Old Asics GT-2160's. Yardwork, where old running shoes go to die. And these got reassigned early after the seams split quickly.
So winter is here. Spitting snow and blustery as all heck but not much on the radar. Skeptical about the 1"- 2" possibility.
Still have the summer slippers on the Audi. Thanksgiving is the usual target for the winter boots. Good except when the gales of November come early.

I was driving in Northern Wisconsin the night the Edmund Fitzgerald went down, on old US Highway 63. The only way I was able to stay on the road was by following the tracks in the snow of a tanker truck that was running ahead of me. (And they were filling up fast!) By the time I reached Ashland, WI there was 24 inches of snow on the ground. November 10, 1975.
Gordon Lightfoot didn't mess around, did he?
They theorize that a wave picked the ship up so high that it broke in half. The waves on Superior come in threes, the locals call them the three sisters. And the third one is the epic one, of course.
Plus, when we got to Ashland, down by the lake there was about 3-4 inches of ice coating everything. The guy at the restaurant said they had 25-30 foot high swells in Chequamegon Bay that night, and there were pilings and crap washed ashore all over. That was quite a storm....when they come out of the northeast, they pick up moisture from the lake all the way across, then dump it when the storm hits land.

It's been playing in my mind since I saw Boxster's post earlier...but thanks!
My theory is he wrote the song first, then sunk the ship.
Sneaky Canadians
There isn't a song that gives me goosebumps more than that one.
My kids have declared all running shoes as POS. Too expensive, too flimsy, money making racket to make you keep buying expensive shoes. They get shoes designed for cross country and cross trainers, but they aren't interested in me spending $60+ for shoes that last three months tops. They do a lot of trail running but aren't interested in running on pavement.
He got that song written by Sundown of the next day.
So it wasn't a Carefree Highway you were driving down that day?
Me too. It's almost as If You Could Read My Mind.
