8" would shut Atlanta completely down for days. Back in Buffalo, we'd call it a "dusting" and go on about our lives.

I completely disagree! Two thirds of my kids are married, the last one is a conformed lifelong bachelor. With the two that are married, I took no part whatsoever in the process and ended up with two great daughters-in-law. My parents didn't pick my wife. In fact, they told me we were too young (19 and 18) and that it would never last. We're 66 and 65 now, still together.

The "party of tolerance" showed their true colors tonight. The people who should be ashamed of themselves are the people who continue to vote them into office. They demonstrated to the Nation that they are NOT on the side of American Citizens nor our great Country. I salute the two recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Thank you both for your service.

It was in the 70's here yesterday and the low last night was 62.......

Looking for Venezuela.....

Thanks for keeping us informed. Glad to hear it went well. Still praying for you and your family.

You say that like I had a choice in getting it or not. As a productive member of society, now over age 65, I earned the right to be on Medicare. Municipal services are also social programs, but they make sense from a funding standpoint. Without pooling their resources by taxes, the citizenry could not have police and fire protection, streets and roads, parks, libraries, schools or many other programs that benefit the entire community. Apparently you missed the whole point of my comment, that the insurance companies would have profited over #30,000 in six years on just two people, using that money to cover the cost of free, or almost free, healthcare to people too sorry to get a job and pay for their own. That's the kind of socialism I have a problem with. Four generations of one family living in project housing and NONE of them has ever been employed a day in their life. Yet the cars in the driveway are nicer/newer than the ones my wife and I drive!

Yeah, this sucks! I had great insurance through my job. They covered the cost of my premium and I paid the cost for my wife's premium, about $500/month, with a $1500 deductible. I retired and stayed on the same program, but I was paying the premiums for both, about $1000/month. Then comes Obamacare. Employer switches carriers and the new one is about the same cost, but covers less. My insulin-dependent wife will now be charged $750/month for her insulin PLUS the $1000/month we already pay. I can't afford that, so we leave the employer's insurance and get a private policy from BC/BS that covers everything for $1250/month. But, BC/BS scams us and gives us the Obamacare version. The one our doctor does NOT accept! NO doctor within a hundred miles accepts it. And we're stuck with it for a year. The following year, we get BC/BS straightened out and things are good for a bit, but the cost increases every year. By the end of 2018, the cost has increased to $1800/month and the deductible is up to $6000. Then, BC/BS drops all private policies in Georgia. The ONLY available plans in Georgia are from Obamacare. One is the same carrier that did not cover the wife's insulin, the other was one that no local doctors accept. At that point, we became self insured. On paper, we put the $1800/month in a separate part of out bank account each month and paid all our medical expenses from that account. It was a big gamble, but we hoped our luck would continue until we were old enough for Medicare. It did! After paying all of our medical expenses from 2018 to mid-2024 out of that account, including 3 cataract surgeries and a bunch of dental work for the wife, we still had almost $30,000 in that account. Now that both of us are on Medicare, we can breathe a little easier!

President Trump tried to get that done for the 2020 census. He was unable to overcome the democrat resistance. I hope it happens this time. Not only should illegals be stopped from voting, they should not be counted for representation. They DO NOT belong here!

The Mack L Model pumper was nice and that Crown Firecoach in action was awesome!

Get well soon. I'll be praying for you.

This site needs another emoji for the things that just piss me off! This liberal clown Ossoff and his liberal co-Senator Warnock probably got voted in the same way that Biden won Georgia. Neither one of them is worth a crap! Neither one represents the Citizen's of Georgia, they represent the liberals who live in the high population areas of the State. I thank God each and every day that "Stacy the Hut" didn't become Governor here!

Whole lotta mileage on those trucks, too!

Never saw those before.

I saw a few snowflakes falling today and it's 23 degrees. If it was a weekday, they'd close all the schools!

I grew up 38 miles down the Lake Erie shore from Buffalo, but have lived in Atlanta for 40 years. I don't own boots or a snow shovel!

I posted the New Alexandria rig in this thread way back.
