Re: Yes Your bored "SO GET Your Rant On"

I hate this time of year. I hate it because I have to be at work and my clients are not spending money or are not at work so I just get to sit here trying to keep busy for half of Dec and half of Jan until things pick back up again. The boardom is killing me. I think I have watched every boattest.com video and have considered every boat on the market for when I win the Power Ball.

Ha Ha, that's funny because my cabin neighbor won the $400+M Power Ball in 2013.

Wow and all he bought you was a 2003 Chaparral 183SS?

Ha ha, no but he went to the local power sports place and loaded up. Plus he had to split it with two other winning tickets so he ended up with a paltry $59M. He won the same month we bought our place...I've had the Chap a long time.

At one point I was proud of working for my money. After 12 years in IT if I won my money I think I will sleep just fine at night, or on the boat, or during a cat-nap.

I'll take it however I can get it at this point. I used to be proud now I'm just annoyed.

Seeing how these "Rants" aren't as diverse as I thought they would be and since they actually stay on the weather conditions maybe we need to change up this post to "Just how cold is it". There should be some interesting stories...

Hey, -40 is -40, I'm multi something.

Looking at -39 here Sunday night.


The bosses must really be worried about us showing up for work Sunday and Monday.
They have arranged for the local Ford dealership to have a service truck in our parking
lot to help start our cars at shift changes, 6 am, 2 pm, and 10 pm.

But almost all of us will be working a 12 hour shift with staggered start times.

Anyone want to volunteer to come jump start cars at 2:15 am Monday, -39*.

I have the feeling there will be a lot of no-shows at work.
Many of the workers live 20-40 miles away, some further.

And back at home, the house cracked like it was struck by lightning last night.
Kitchen floor (formerly flat), now has a ridge running 13' across the room.

When you live in the north, if we didn't talk about the weather, no one would talk to each other......:lol:

They are talking -70 with windchill here soon. Also possibly extending the statewide public school closing to Tuesday. Hard to believe at some point we will actually be boating.

Lucky for me, my house is a dump 115 year old shack, and everywhere I look, is another battle scar or character line.

But, the roof doesn't leak, the furnace works, and the taxes are low, so I guess I will keep it for a while.

It is cold for Long Island. Got to -2F last night. Coldest since 1988. Ocean was smoking this morning. Our homes are not insulated well enough for long periods of single digits. Snow helped a little. I have two 100w bulbs keeping my boat from freezing up (yup I fish all winter). Rode down the creek just to break up the skim ice today. Much more of this and I may have to haul. It's all relative.

From down the block. Not the ocean view most imagine.
