I think let’s go brandon and most FJB type stuff is stupid as hell and immature. I got a hearty chuckle from this.

Seems like there was a good bit of icy slush underneath the snow.

Franklin county here and roads are considerably bad. My wife has an AWD vehicle and while her snow tires aren’t on yet she’s got good all seasons which have handled early snow storms with ease in the past. She’s also driven in VT for 15 years and is a good driver in the snow. She almost went off the road twice today, which makes me think there’s something different about this snow fall.

So you think they should plow it all winter?

Yeah it has been getting popular in VT.
I won’t ever use anywhere near 1tb so I don’t care much about the fair use policy in practice but I agree about it being not cool in principle

I'm in Franklin county and every once in awhile we get this fighter jet that fucking SCREAMS over our house INCREDIBLY low. You will be working silently in the yard, all of a sudden there's a slight rumble, then within 3 seconds it's deafening, and then in less than a second it's gone.
It's not an F35 or F16 or any other jet I've seen around here. Almost looks like a Mig - can a civilian conceivably own a mig??

For sure. Also, it's just logical that twice as many hands working on one task will get it done twice as fast. Obviously its not that cut and dry, but still much faster than doing it alone. So that in and of itself makes the task more approachable.
For instance, sometimes I have a free hour after work and think "i should stack wood" and then when I think about how I will spend my one free hour getting almost nowhere I'm like "ehh fuck that" - but if someone will help me for an hour a) it's no longer just a mindless boring task and b) i go into it more motivated because I know i will get somewhere.

I spend an entire day doing this stuff:
- Clean shit off mower. Change oil, spark plug, and blades on mower. Drain gas and tuck out of the way somewhere.
- Get out snowblower. Add fresh gas and check oil. Start and make sure it's working alright.
- Install plow on ATV. Grease all fittings on ATV. Check hub fluid, replace drive belt. Install tire chains.
- Put driveway markers along driveway
- Install snow tires on both vehicles
- Install special winter door over one of my exterior doors for insulation
- Ignore all other small engines and wonder why they need their carburetors cleaned in the spring
Then there's usually an entire extra day of winterizing garden beds and whatnot.

Not to be an ass…but…how would the layout be any different now?
