This snow is crazy, we got nearly 2 feet! My office is closed again tomorrow. I was out with the neighbors shoveling most of the day.

I am in a heap of **** at work because I couldn't make it in again today.

I was up at 430 shoveling the driveway. My wife and I headed out and realized the roads were still in bad shape so I waited at the train station for a good while an no trains came. So I ended up calling work around 9.

My plant is open, although I took the day today. Apparently one of the maintance guys ran into a Nitrogen tank (we have multiple very large nitrogen tanks on the premise for furnances and such) with the van punctured it. Now the fire company is there and they may have to close anyways for safety reasons.

As far as the snow, we were out driving around yesterday for a while in the afternoon. It was damn near whiteout conditions a few times. It sucks here in my complex, they have nowhere to put the snow now as its piled so high. What a winter...

I wish I could tele-commute, but I hate working from home too many distractions. i was all ready to go in to the office this morning till my boss called me and said don't bother because a transformer blew and there is no power in the whole building... looks like I'll be working the whole weekend, again.

on an even better note I got word my new wheels should be here next week sometime... I can't wait!!!

Not yet. Lots of good choices out there...I'm just trying to keep the weight under 20lbs, and thats still alot. All the good looking wheels are so damn heavy. Really wish I could find some Buddy CLubs in the right offset.

Egypt on the waterfront.....if it is still open. Grab a cheesesteaks at Abners on 38th and chestnut. They may sell you beer. At least they did in the late 90s when I was your age.

Check philly2night.com to see what is happening tonight.

Not clubs, but as far as bars go, Mar-Bar on 38st---UPenn's campus, and Marmont on 2nd and Market for young crowds. Silk City is pretty good, but I haven't been there in a while. Drinkers' Tavern on 18th and Chestnut/Walnut(?) gets a nice crown in the warm seasons, I dont know about the winter though.

haha damn, thats weak.

What are some lip options for 8's out there besides a CF one? I don't feel like spending $400+ on something I will most likely destroy again.

Got a brand new lip on the cheap for you if you want it. I can't use it in BSP, so it is just sitting in my garage, its a Rexpeed CF lip. It will bolt to stock Evo 8 bumper. PM me if you want it...
