If you have any old ones I am sure someone would want to buy one, some people collect them..
I still have the Oregon plates, they are on the garage wall. Have the old plates from my wife's last car in OR too, but nobody gets the RESURI joke.

Just cleared the driveway again today. Hip deep snow in the back yard. Lows in the minus teens predicted for the next three nights. No azaleas.
Easily hip-deep here as well, but I'd rather be in Montana if I have to deal with this
Had about 6" come down yesterday, so the mailbox is steadily disappearing. Parked the truck out there for a bit of scale. We've also been letting the snow pile up on our backyard table, we just call it "the cake" now.

Parking lot where I work. We got about 5 more inches of snow today. I witnessed someone rear end another car shortly after I took this photo.
We were only forecasted to get about an inch today.
we were only supposed to get 2-3 inches but we're already at about 4-5 inches now, and several hours to go before it stops. I hope my snow blower doesn't die on me again tomorrow

Another 2-4" of snow on the way tonight into tomorrow. We had the 5th snowiest month ever this month and the snowiest February ever.
yeah I'm pretty much done with this nonsense 😐. Even my snow blower has stopped working on occasion, I think it wants a break

When there is snow on roofs and sidewalls I would think that acts as insulation? If it's 0 to whatever below zero being that snow can only be a little below 32 degrees shouldn't that help keep it warmer inside? Well warmer than the much lower air temps outside, instead of 0 or - temperatures on the side of the house it's 32 degrees on the wall.
Always wondered about that.
Those pictures are crazy, I can't imagine.
I'm not sure it does much, unless your attic is not well sealed/insulated. I sometimes rake a good chunk of snow off my roof (the parts I can get to anyway) to help prevent ice dams in the valleys...that's assuming it ever gets warm enough to melt here

Looks pretty open to me
Crazy wind and snow here yesterday. Almost had a Suburban wipe out in front of me on the backroad right as I was getting home from the airport.
Back to subzero temps as wuzzzer mentioned above...not looking like a pleasant March ahead for us

50-60mph winds here today. Makes for fun with the feet of snow that's accumulated over winter.
yep, the wind and several feet of fine dry snow has made for some wild weather lately

Like dtel said @oldtimer is the pro hot sauce meister, and @jimjimbo probably too, he has had some mouthwatering pics of his potted peppers to show us the last year!
Me?... nah can't eat too many of them especially habaneros, but do have to have nachos a couple times a month, or quesadillas done right in the frying pan with Cabot X Sharp cheddar, bacon, onion, chili powder and my new fave ripe j a p s.
Like red bell peppers compared to green have that sweetness, the red jalapenos have that plus more scovilles!
I'm going to have to talk to oldtimer and jimjimbo once pepper growing season starts :). I'd like to grow my own here but I don't know if I'm able to, given our short growing season.
3 hours ago, dtel said:80 today and windy, and rain this evening but the next two days it cools off a little, the high 60s.
It got up to 32 here today, so there was a bit of melting. However, we also got another 4" overnight, and there's more to come tonight as well 😐

A Canadian, good deal, at least you have a good excuse, probably no big deal for her.
For a Canadian no problem, for a Southerner, very serious and a little scary, I don't even have clothes for that kind of weather.
yah no big deal for her, but not much for me either since we've been visiting her family all these years.
I did have to buy a bigger jacket once we moved here, along with a few snow shovels and a snow blower
so what's this I read up above about a pepper crop? I've got a couple ferments going now but could use some more supplies this year. Is that oldtimer and JohnJ?

We dodged it up here in Alex. I think we got about 4" from Wednesday.
You definitely got lucky then. I think we were on the edge of the heavy stuff; they actually shut down MSP for part of the day. You almost never see that.

You must be a snowman then, or a polar bear, that picture is crazy.
Nope, just a socal native married to a Canadian :). She put up with the west coast for 17 years, so it was time to give this place a shot.

Winter weather warning for western Minnesota tomorrow. Forecast of 6 - 9" of snow.
we got a good 9" here I think. I had to run the snow blower twice that day 😮 I'm hoping that this weekend's storm misses us, I don't have anywhere else to put this stuff!

Ah cool, so you're a watercooled guy as well? I've seen the Rabbit that he and his wife built, it was pretty cool. I've been an E30 person for the last few years but I like the VW's too, just don't have the room for another car. Got to park next to them at the 80's show last summer though:

Haha; if you can live with it as is, do it
But if they are in plain view (or you have a WAF to consider), forget about all the half-a$$ed solutions. "When doing a thing, do it right!" Fill it in, sand it and re-veneer. Yes, will take at least twice as long, but the result will be at least four times better. Good luck!
Cheers, Emile
One more thought ... take it to an auto body shop and have them fill it in and sand it ... they've got the tools and should be able to do it quickly and hopefully cheap. Do the veneering yourself.
Not sure if this was for me, but I decided to leave the cabinets as-is. Once I get new motorboards and the CS1 drivers/crossovers, I can at least get them back together and see how they sound. Maybe have some fun with interesting stain colors since WAF is not an issue anymore.

hah, you know everyone don't you
I only know Kris because we're both Porsche nuts, and I keep meaning to listen to his podcasts.

Can't claim `no affiliation` since these belong to an acquaintance, but figured it was worth posting here:

he's also looking for KLF-20's or KLF-30's if anyone local knows of something for sale.

Sold, thank you habinger808!

I dunno, I hear he's a bit of a shady character

Nice score! I liked my KLF-10's but never got a chance to move up to the big boys.
I highly recommend the KLF-C7 as well...I had a KV3 for a while and it was pretty underwhelming. Even though I'm back to using Epics, I still prefer my C7 over any other center.
