Wife is stuck on the runway in Chicago... they de-iced the plane 3 times while waiting to taxi.

Her flight was to leave 2 hours ago... hopefully she gets in the air and out of Chi-Ka Ka soon
I'm not far from there, and yeah, it is snow, but almost like a snow/sleet mix. I could see it causing problems for flying.

F$!%#ing Midwest. 4 inches of heavy ass snow, and still falling. And of course the snow blower won't start, I mean why would it? :cuss2::gaah:

did you try ether ? i started mine for the first time in, um, 7 months ? did have much snow last season.
shot of ether, close choke = Vroooooom . and mine is like 25 yearss old, Toro. i usually start it a ew times during the summer, but didn't this year. but, i didn't use it, no need to, we didn't get much. and it will be gone in a few days.

Nope, didn't have any ether. Need to get some I guess, but didn't want to go out either.

what blower do you have ? the ether will get it running even if there is a fuel issue. the fuel can spoil over the summer, and the bowl can run dry, the jets clog. but if you just get it running, it will usually stay running.

Really old single stage Torro. Not sure how old. Meant to change out the gas and clean the filters over summer, never did. I just shoveled, but not gonna do that again.

i shoveled the walks. the rest will melt. mine is a CCR2000 i think it is. what i don't like about it = it doesn't have the shoot adjuster. i have to reach around to turn it. even spring/summer i keep meaning to find a newer one on CL.
every spring/summer, i forget :gaah::facepalm:

Should come to San Diego...have some tacos and burritos here.

I can go to Tacos el Gordo here and easily drop $75 on tacos... they aren’t expensive...just can eat a ton of them they are so good.

Used to think Los Angeles had good tacos when I lived there...moved to SD... LA tacos are shit

I ordered another liter of 100mg salts and the rocket scientists at USPS delivered it to an address in Phoenix, where LNW is located. Trying to find out what to do now.
Well that liter of 100 mg salts that I ordered from liquid nicotine wholesalers that was delivered to Phoenix showed up at the door today.

Must have been a bad scan.

It all depends where in LA you get your tacos.....

Agreed with all the Sunny Suck It's, and that looks delicious. Way better than the grilled chicken and veggies my "I care too much about your health" made me :facepalm:
My wife and I were on keto for most of the year... lost 50+lbs between us. I know that struggle well.
All bets were off in August when we found out she was preggo!
Honestly the only "bad" thing in there is the beef. Maybe salt?

Yeah, that wouldn't be so bad for me. High blood sugar, so the carbs kill me. And cholesterol. But, I'm down 80 lbs to 155, and feel like shit lol.

Not planned, but not prevented either. It was kind of a let's see what happens situation.
Having a newborn at 37 should be interesting!

I'll bet. I'm a tad older at 41, but no way I could start over. Couple of surgeries to make sure of that ;) Mine are 13 and 10. Halfway home, lol

My first one doc said, it didn't take. I said wtf you mean it didn't take? He said sorry, shit happens. We cut such a small amout out in case you decide to get it reversed, sometimes it re attaches. I grabbed him by the ear and yelled, I DONT WANT IT REVERSED! CUT AN INCH OUT IF YOU HAVE TO!!! :D

Way to many Carbs for me ;) Corn, Beans, onions alone probably set that at least 40g carbs a half cup... looks good though.

Still Keto and down a ton... well more like Intermittent fasting keto 20:4 ... well truly more like 23:1 OMAD Keto...

I just drink so much coffee and water I sort of forget I'm hungry most of the time now. Although I did just finish 8oz of Chicken and 7oz of broccoli stir fry... which ended up being 7.7g Net Carbs and 462Cals... had 6 cups of coffee though and 5 bottles of water

oh-yea, i see what you mean. well, you'll get used to it.

80#. thats a lot. many years ago lost about 40, down to 175. the way i did it = if i ate 2 burgers, i would eat just 1, basicly, cut my consumption in half. if i wasn't hungry at least half the time i was eating to much.
Yeah, it's not that big of a deal, I will get use to it.

I did a lot of things, diet, exercise, etc. Started looking at my beer consumption. 3-4 30 packs of regular high life per week. 13g carbs per can. Um, that made a huge difference of course. Now, I try not to drink, doesn't work, but I am down to 1-2 12 packs of miller lite per week. I'm only human........
