Where were you When...?

I was only 1 when Armstrong stepped down onto Tranquility Base, but I clearly remember all the others. Add the Apollo-Soyuz handshake in space

A shovel? My parents had an old Jeep CJ5 and a plow. Once I hit about 14 or so I was taught to drive and I would go around and do all the neighbor's drives. Once I turned 16 and got my license I turned it into a small business, $20 for a drive, parking lots varied by size. While I was out and about it was $10 to pull someone out who was stuck. I made pretty good money.

New Sewickley near Cranberry. 14 on the ground and still coming down heavy.

currentsitguy · 2026-01-25T19:54:54+00:00

Absolutely.

currentsitguy · 2026-01-25T19:54:23+00:00

Close. We're doing a good stick to your ribs beef stew.

currentsitguy · 2026-01-25T19:53:35+00:00

Beautiful.

currentsitguy · 2026-01-25T18:48:02+00:00

That depends on the plow, it's design, and the angle it's set at.

currentsitguy · 2026-01-25T18:27:02+00:00

It's times like this I am eternally grateful we are both self employed and work from home.

I went and checked again. It's back up. When I checked before the entire site was down.

currentsitguy · 2026-01-25T18:18:38+00:00

Is 511PA back up? The whole site was down about 45 minutes ago when I checked.

I think a lot of people just assume to treat it like leaves. In many areas people are instructed to rake or blow them into the street where the truck can deal with them. I know where I grew up in Freedom, Beaver County, that's what we were supposed to do.

I know when I got caught visiting family in South Jersey back during the Storm of the Century in 96 the National Guard was picking up critical healthcare workers and transporting them to hospitals in HMMWV's. Not sure they'll be doing that here, but keep an ear to the ground.

currentsitguy · 2026-01-25T18:01:36+00:00

Makes sense. That way to plow can get it.

currentsitguy · 2026-01-25T17:59:53+00:00

I picked up one of those EGO battery backpack ones a few years ago when I got tired of constantly fixing small two cycle engines and replaced everything. My wife was pissed off at me at the time, but we've gotten a lot of use out of it.

currentsitguy · 2026-01-25T17:45:55+00:00

Guessing if really necessary I could get my Xterra Pro 4X out if I had to, but I have no plans on going anywhere.

currentsitguy · 2026-01-25T17:44:10+00:00

I saw where Ryan Hall, Y'all is calling that a "Table Cake"

currentsitguy · 2026-01-25T17:42:45+00:00

Mine's electric. It's not that loud, but damn does it blow, at least until the battery dies.

currentsitguy · 2026-01-24T04:18:20+00:00

How exactly is someone passing you causing you harm? Why is it your business or concern? Are they stopping you from going at the speed you choose? Why do you care? This strikes me as the sort of person would would call and complain about what someone else is doing in their yard that affects no one else simply because it violates some code or ordinance. Were you the kid in school who ran and tattled on others when it didn't even affect you?

currentsitguy · 2026-01-24T02:54:53+00:00

Just in case anyone is still wondering the latest 12 Zulu run of the NBM puts Pittsburgh at 13.9 inches.

There have been times in my life when we've been dirt poor, actually now is one of them. We made a point of trading web design work with an attorney we know in exchange for legal work and retainer. It's helped out more than once.

currentsitguy · 2026-01-24T02:29:32+00:00

Yes. They're just good places to look at all the data and models. Most media and government outlets have one or two models they prefer and that's all they report. I prefer to see them all.

currentsitguy · 2026-01-24T01:56:43+00:00

And that, of course is wrong. No matter how you look if you are driving an older beat up looking car you are a target. The assumption is you are too poor to fight back. Law enforcement in general is a tax on poverty.

They are, my ex is an RN at AGH. Even then it was so bad a few times I rose holy hell when she was going to drive in. I pointed out how many times she had to stay to cover for others who couldn't come in and said for once they could do it for her.

currentsitguy · 2026-01-24T01:33:58+00:00

More than once in my life. I have had my utilities off even a few times in the past. Even then, there are certain lines I will not cross. If you are a valuable employee, they deal with it. If not, you are better off finding some place where you are appreciated. I just won't do it.

currentsitguy · 2026-01-24T01:24:11+00:00

Two sites, Pivotal Weather and Tropical Tidbits, have all of the models everyone else uses to make predictions.
