Making ice cream out on the deck. Probably should've used the big KitchenAid cause it churns slower but this one is working.

Wanna try making ice cream tomrrow. Do I set the big KitchenAid on the deck or use the little Oster? We're down to -27°f/-32°c and tomorrow it's supposed to cool off, so I think I can just set the mixer on the deck and run it. If anyone has a recipe for ice cream I'll give it a whack.

Civic wins for me. I've built enough Hondas up that I know how to fix/mod anything on it and I don't need special tools. This one is basically a clean slate to start with minus the wing. No thanks to the Golf. Just don't like dealing with old VWs.

We've got the exploding trees alert for the cold. So like when it's -40 and -60 wind-chill, remember that spontaneously exploding trees are a thing. The ground is also gonna break so we have some excitement coming up.

Anywho that's my lecture on that. Have a photo of our snow situation from our road as reward for getting through that.

1/? This is a conundrum. The BWCAW is not the pristine thing people think it is. Directly downstream from where the proposed mine the lake bottom is an actual dump from when all the resorts and cabins were closed. When the wilderness act was enforced they dumped junk into the lake..

Awww I loved Prue. Some of her outtakes are the absolute best too.

Once again I feel like the southern hemisphere is the safe place to be. Not that there isn't issues, but somewhere like Uruguay, Australia, and New Zealand are not getting into the shit like we are.

Guess it's gonna be a bit chilly this weekend (we're in the Hibbing/Grand Rapid area). Gonna try again to get my dad to not come up for fishing Saturday. Like I am nuts, but I prefer my nuts to be warm.

I wanted a Outback 3.6r so bad after driving one. That is sort of a unicorn car cause it bypassed the bullshit with CVT (at least the early ones). Was *SUPER* lucky to get a Outback XT Limited and have fun with that. Last time I truly should have been in trouble was in the XT.

i wish i could still buy things at the prices i used to complain about

small

Honestly, all of this is part of darwinism. I *hate* that it's the case but when it's been a forcefully belligerent choose made what do you do? There will be a tipping point of some sort. Either people having like 14 kids each again like it's 1847 or we become net negative.

I think it has snowed for ten days nonstop.

Even 10 years ago this sort of headline wasn't a thing. The regression is palpable. Another win for degenerates.

I'll take the van. That gen Taurus is the only vehicle I've had self immolate while I was driving. Wouldn't recommend. Actually kinda scary.

First time I've gotten one of these warnings.

Big win for the Subaru. You can get a decent head gasket kit for much less than the difference in price and I could have that done in a day working leisurely. The G5 isn't super bad, but I'd expect the subframe to just fall out randomly at some point cause that's what they do.

They question why I get anxious to go down to the cities. Each time I look at the news it's actually somehow worse. Sadly I can't get through that what's happening is the beginning. We are next on the list of the purge. Can't wait to end up shipped to Namibia because gay.

So this one is interesting. Normally I'd take any wagon I can. However the option to restomod the Comet is strong. It deserves a coyote engine with matching modern transmission. Brakes/suspension/diff upgrades too. Make it handle and go fast.

The cognitive dissonance of telling one county's people to protest a authoritarian conservative regime while simultaneously striving to become exactly that.

Super easy win for the talon. It's the perfect spec too. Loved all of my DSMs. The 1st get was fun cause it felt like you were sitting in a fighter jet.

This one is tough for me. Almost always prefer Mercedes but I'm not a fan of the V12. Think this time I'd have the BMW. It's one of the best looking BMWs too so not sad about it.

The Aurora is trying to do something. There's owls hooting, and coyotes yip yapp howling away. Not terrible.

It's nice to see the actual street I grew up on in the news for.... Well, I guess not much has changed really. Just the brand of law enforcement involved is different.

Once again I'm saying in the northern hemisphere Estonia is the place to be. Preferably though, you'd be in the southern hemisphere, in Uruguay. Otherwise, if the Pacific is more your jam, then PNG or Fiji.

Pound Cake 🐺🍑🦊

Vanity is the boomers biggest crux

It's also the least reliable...

You got a lot of Girbaud jeans ha

The caddy is a easy win. That thing would glide over the bad roads here. Also...

The grape white claw tastes like really weak lean.

Only 51 weeks left

Peanut butter and pickled herring pizza 🍕

Important first aid tip here.

In b4 he gets a not guilty verdict and there is a monumental shitshow above and beyond what exists.

I'll take the Volvo. Not scared of ancillary transmission parts, likely a solenoid or case wiring harness. It's AWD, the engine is good, and it's comfy. We had a inherited celebrity when I was a kid. It wasn't super terrible but it was also stuck in a snowbank half the winter.

17°f and pouring rain is some bullshit.

Disembodied voices on the trail cam 👻

One of the rare moments I'd pass on both. Want nothing to do with Fix It Again Tony. The Nissan is sorta better but I don't care for the layout or powertrain.

Sometimes I wish I got excited about new years but historically it's been a shit show. The actual party ends up being a train wreck. Property damage, law enforcement, and shattered dreams. The new year, well that is a dumpster fire. One of the rare times I'm a pessimist. Skip to June pls.

Saw a IG post asking what V6 (not i6 or flat 6) vehicle you would choose, money no object. That's a tough one cause I want a 4x4 SUV or Truck because it would be super useful for me. Think my answer would end up being a R35 GT-R NISMO though. I still want one after all these years.

Capitalism was a horrendous mistake

The Maxima wins for me. In total honestly though, the drivetrain would get ripped out and a RB series engine and manual transmission would get swapped in. It's set up perfectly.

The good news is that we're too far north to get the snow storm the cities are getting. The bad news is that it's too cold for snow.

Do I go annoy Wuff with my sleeping existence or do I annoy him by not going to bed and sleeping in the guest bedroom.

This one is pretty dope actually. If trade the BBS's for some HREs but otherwise it's excellent. I can dig the cloth interior. It reminds me of an Avalon but better in every way.
