Sunday

Purloined from Phlegmmy:

I’m not really a Guinness kinda-guy, indulging once in a Blue Moon and only in winter…but. Is this a great ad, or what?

Extra added benefit: Now I know where that pounding in my head comes from on the morning after the night before… Maybe Guinness should rethink their “secret ingredient?” And stop sharing it with the other breweries and distilleries, too.

Someone, somewhere, must have linked this particular EIP entry coz I’ve been getting a hit or three a day for the past few on this pic. Some folks are easily amused, I guess. Including, of course, YrHmblScrb, who’s still wondering why we don’t have neighbors like the one in the pic.

So…I’ve been paying very close attention to the WX as the time for my drive north approaches. And I’m NOT liking what I’m seeing. Last night I noticed virtually the entire states of Oklahoma and most of Kansas were covered with freezing rain and ice storms. It’s a lil bit better today, but not much. The weather will stop me dead in my tracks if it continues in the manner of the last few days.

As I’ve noted elsewhere on the blog, the Green Hornet wears summer-only performance tires, and those tires are nearing the end of their life. So: ice, freezing rain, and snow just don’t work for the Green Hornet and, more importantly, me in it. Not at all. I’ve given some thought to renting a car for the trip, which would be slightly cheaper and much more expedient than re-shoeing TGH.

We’ll see what we see, eh?
