Too much snow... I only managed to shovel half my driveway to just free up one car. I already have a newborn I'm dealing with, don't got the energy for this too..

Typical gongshow of bad drivers with vehicles that have no winter tires on them.

This is what my neighbour Jimmy and I saw yesterday morning at 9:30am when we were shovelling snow out in front of our houses:

One idiot in a black SUV, just stopped their vehicle in front of my house. Another driver in a Honda accord yelled at him "Hey buddy, learn how to drive!!!" with his window down haha. Honda driver proceeds to go into reverse.

Maybe the SUV was afraid to drive up a small hill in front of him with his all season tires? hahahah

Two Chinese drivers in SUVS did not make it up the small hill in my hood. Wheels spinning. I guess they cannot make it for early dim sum at a nearby restaurant. :lawl:

Was very good, thanks to Hondaracer for vouching for the place in an earlier thread.

We got the family style 4 course, 9 item dinner. Certainly a "loosen belt" type of dinner.
The only thing I wasn't terribly fond of was the Baby Back ribs, but my standards for ribs are extremely high since I smoke my own. Oven baked ribs just can't compete.

I need to figure out a way to heat my front stairs

I feel like saltbae everyday salting the fucking stairs knowing the salt disappears within 12 hours.

tofu1413 02-27-2023 08:28 AM

this is what.. the 3rd or 4th wave? of this snow?

still see abandoned cars on hwy 1 and 91.... like people, we were all given plenty of heads up ... plus the snow fall was quite slow on Saturday night and didnt really dump until the early mornings of sunday.

Geez. lower mainland folk suck.

Unless you buy the heli and hire a desperate new pilot for 8$/hr. (Main reason preventing me from getting the licence, slave labour for first 1-2 years after going 80k in debt)

350 was in USD. So, we are not far from the $550 mark. But seriously though, for people making millions in a year, even just a million a year and assuming they can write off as an expense, at 550 a day, 20days a month and 12mth a year, that's just $132000. The time saving say for a person traveling from somewhere west shore (the area across the pond from Seattle) to Seattle or Bellevue where the straight line distance is something like 10km, it makes quite a bit of sense.

Heck, I'd do it if that means cutting my daily commute from 3hrs to within an hour. 10% of total income in travel expense doesn't sound too far-fetched even for a normal person considering price of gas/car.

If Kobe couldn’t survive a private heli, wouldn’t trust anyone who is calculating whether they can afford it or not lol

Costco. ~$200 a mat. Personally at that price, I'd rather shovel and salt.

Only peasants need private helicopters for travel ... get your own hover drone bruh ... Just take out a bigger life insurance policy. YOLO. I'll wait till Costco carries this.



Badhobz 02-27-2023 09:17 AM

waving to anyone while operating this jetson is a one time affair
