Husband's car wouldn't start after leaving it outside for 9 hours. I bundled up to go get him. (Three pairs of pants, LS shirt, SS shirt, hoodie, two pairs of socks, snow boots, husband's parka, two scarves, two pairs of gloves) My toes are just getting back to normal after being back inside for an hour and a half.

I just dodged a significant bullet. For the first time all day, I opened my back door to look at the snow. Not one foot in front of me were two birds sitting on my deck chair (I've never seen birds anywhere near my deck). I probably looked at them, eye to eye, with my door open for 2 seconds before realizing that if those birds decided to bolt, they'd be bolting right into my house. Luckily they did not. But the flew away and now I'm worried about the poor birds that were just trying to find a place that was safe from the wind. ;)

Legit shocked nobody noticed the GFS, smoking its own socks again, was throwing up low to mid 60s in Des Moines and southern Iowa next Thursday.

Model fantasyland is quite the experience.
There's a reason they call it the "Goofus"!!

I ran into town earlier today to get drill bits and grinding disks (working on the racecar today), the gravel roads were fine but highway 14 going north from newton had a lot of blowing snow.

My wife is pretty mad that I told her I am running to Des Moines tomorrow to get more racing supplies LOL.

As someone with an infant daughter and contemplating a second child in a few years, the last few pages have been a “fun” read.
Spoken as a dad with 2 daughters now 24 and 28. When you have a son, you have 1 penis to worry about. When you have a daughter, hundreds to worry about. Trust me, I fulfilled the worrying.
But all said, wouldn't change a thing!
