Got a chuckle passing this gas station and right away I see people would be like "Oh wow - 3.39 - cheap!" and COMMITT to pulling in, and begin to fill up - Then they see RED because it says 3.59 on their pump ... Look closely at the sign! Who would get a car-wash anyway when it's 15 degrees out? I am sure @[1267634230:2048:Jason Foster] can also see what I am talking about :)

Ended first great week working here in Chicago area. Training with a fantastic group of technical guys. Temperatures warmed up to just above freezing ... About 35 above, although still cold, but amazing as it's still nearly a 55 degree DIFFERENCE from the -15 to -20 below on Monday (1/6) morning!

I ducked off facebook for a while (back in November) and I'm back - Re-surfaced just in time to witness this crazy "polar vortex" affecting the North-Central United States!

I'm Here in the Chicagoland area for a while for new job ... I'll still be back and forth between Chicago and Florida with family and such there. Let's see how things work out at new company.

I was able to core-punch so called winter storm "Ion" as TWC called it, but made it through Indiana and into Illinois on Jan 5 ... What a ride! Woke up January 6 to temperatures -15 to -20 below F ... So cold there were cirrus clouds at about 1500 feet AGL!

Happy New Year everyone ... Happy to be back!
