Hey Oldtimer. Glad your doing well my fellow north shore Suffolk county friend. Not sure if I ever mentioned it but I grew up in Mount Sinai and rode my bike into port Jeff to play handball and hang out with my friends in rocket ship park. Cheers Oldtimer.

Frank I uam Zoom all the time with teaching so I can do it from my personal meeting room if you'd like to do tjis. I can simply post it here in banter and you may put it in the scroll and share your screen with anything and everything. Or I can run the maps and you can talk however you want to do it. 2 hr time limit I believe.

It's like the Italian version of "holy cow" excited. I think that's the easy way to put it

Ha. Madonne = the Madonna, Mary, Mother of God.

Growing up in an Italian household, this was an exclamation frequently used when shocking news was heard.

thank you brownie I feel much better now..that phrase is very unique I like it.

Any reco's on where we should host the chat tomorrow night? I was thinking Zoom, but it may limit the number of people. Open to suggestions!

if it's go be hundreds of us it won't but it will be really hard to know who is there. I think zoom just cuz the chat goes to fast to follow. Like mugs said you could share ur screen and do model runs.

Zoom is only 40 minutes with a limit of 100 people

All is good Thanks. 12”+ would possibly leave snow on the ground for Xmas. That would be nice
Or another storm right around Xmas.

Looks like some are starting to get worried, after seeing Lee's forecast... I'm in northwest NJ on the border between Passaic and Sussex so I'm going to make out better than them anyways. For those in Bergen County, hopefully the mysterious black hole doesn't show its ugly head. Tomorrow we'll see what actually comes to past. Kind of sucks that it's starting later. My snow blower is small so I'll need to chop some snow down before I sleep at night. I'm gonna have to piss neighbors off at 10 at night.

This morning I buried my cat of 14 years at the side of my house(passed yesterday after a 4 week battle most likely feline leukimia)he had a very good life. So now he'll be covered with fresh snow all around him.

Sorry to hear that, but glad he had a good long life. Hopefully you see a little of his spirit in the snowflakes that fall this evening.
