Preparing for the snow storm.
- Earlier today I topped off the snow blower with 90 octane E0.
- Next I started both the snow blower and generator and ran them for three minutes.
- For the grand finale I put the generator battery on the charger.

I’m riding around seeing the stores and gas stations wrapped around the buildings with people preparing for the snow storm. We are off on Monday and most likely Tuesday too as it’s only supposed to be 5 degrees on Tuesday so nothing is going to melt or get any better. I’m not a fan of staying home but I’ll do anything for a paid day off from work lol.

It's not supposed to go above freezing all week.
I went to the old fashioned small hardware store. Drove by several shopping centers and the grocery store parking lots were packed. I think everyone left work early in a panic to get bread and milk. More than normal 2pm Friday traffic. Guy on the radio said his wife called and there was no eggs, bread, or spinach in the grocery store. Wow, even a run on spinach.
They keep downgrading the snow totals here in SE PA. It seems as if the true weather forecast isn't given until the stores are out of bread and milk.
Battling rats. The usual.
Horrible beasts!!!!!!!!!

I’m eating a few bowls of Honey Comb and waiting for the snow. We went to the store earlier to get some dog food and distilled water and luckily found both. The distilled water was all out in the food section so my mom went to the baby section and it was fully stocked. An employee told her that no one had even gotten one of the jugs there the whole time. I guess most people don’t realize that they have it there too.
My Grandparent's Doberman use to catch rats in their barn and rip them in half with a violent shake of her head. She was nuts hunting rats - super quick. All I had to say was "let's get some rats" while walking to the barn and she was all jacked up for it.
Squeaky toys!! Dobies are super athletic dogs.
Those rats made one last squeak, lol.
Younger sis is picking me up around 8:30 to go skiing at Snow Trails, Mansfield, OH. If you don't hear back from me I probably froze to death.
I like the very small dark honey comb cause they have extra flavor.
Watching some youtube vids, poking around with some Arduino code (debating how I want to break up the file), and procrastinating, as it's like -5F/-21C and I really don't feel like taking trash to the transfer station--but tomorrow might be worse, when it's both cold and snowing. I'd stay indoors all day today but we actually have some plans, and I wish we didn't.
Caught one last night!!

Will we be seeing that featured in the What are you eating now thread?
