My neighbor was like your gonna get that thing stuck, I bet him $20 i'd make it into my driveway and into the garage, needless to say I was $20 richer after that.

Only took me about 20min longer to get to work this morning. I was a speed racer passing all the slow idiots this morning on 94 & 494. So far sitting here at work I got an inch or so on my car already.

I was finally able to move my car into the lot yesterday, but it took about 15 minutes to get it out of my spot on the street. My wife was wondering where the hell I went. I've got to say, these Ecsta ASTs really make me wish I was driving my snow-equipped XR this winter.

Hey Steve, were you guys at Cannon River? I used to do almost all my OA conclave stuff there and that's where my dad did a lot of his Woodbadge stuff. It's been a while since I've been there, but last month would have been a great time for a Zero Hero.


Yup, Cannon river. The big scout facility. I heard a bunch of the Boy scouts got their Zero Hero badges but they don't do that with Cub scouts. If they did and I knew about it we would have done it for sure.

The kids that did it had their snow cave in the 40's overnight which wouldn't be all that bad with a good sleeping bag.

Couple of us ran to the EP mall for lunch in a friends wrx. Did a few donuts in the mall parking lot. When we got back to work. Theres a small hill you have to climb to get into the buisness park my works in. And a soccer mom in a minivan couldn't make it up the little hill. We all chuckled and had no problem going up and around her. Should have stoped and tried to help here out, O'well.

12:23 and Got 4"-5" in Eden Prairie

Thats what I'm running right now on my stock 16's and absolutely love them. Great bang for the buck snow tire.

So i got off at 1pm (work next to the airport) and took 35w home, stopped in roseville at Compusa to see what kind of close out sales they got going on, wasn't much by the way, then stopped at block buster and picked up a few video games, and even with slightly shitty traffic I still made it home in just over an hour.

As I am typing this I am lookin out (Live north in the Anoka/Ramsey area) and its damn near white out conditions, I can barely see half way down the block when normally I can see the end of the street.

anyways as said before "let it snow, let it snow, let is now"
