It's most likely fine, but it'll go bad faster and you can't really refreeze anything once it's thawed. I've honestly left certain foods sitting outside of the fridge much longer than that without a problem so I would just check everything and only throw anything away that was obviously off in smell, taste, or appearance.

Hey guys, I might do a group buy for my shirts. I'm in process of talking it over with RedBubble. Anyone interested?

My bet is first snow storm, he'll spin and wreck it.

Then, what tires are you supposed to put for Winter? Or do you put chains?

Also yes, I am out of this cave of mine

Interested, I just don't know how I keep letting this slip my mind.

Next week perhaps? And good luck with being a vendor now snoop.

I got out of work early so I made plans to pick up a female friend for lunch.

She saw my car for the first time and seemed to like it...then as we left the Sonic drive through (obviously I make a LOT of money) my crickety engine was going nuts. I said "do you hear that?" she says "yeah, that's loud". I told her it sounds like crickets....her response..."You mean those aren't crickets?!"

Stupid ethanol.

Winter tires. All seasons are too hard for the cold temperatures, after about 5 deg C they start loosing traction. Then there are different types of winter tires. Mainly there's ice tires and snow/slush tires. The difference is that the ice tires have smaller voids like an all season or even a summer tire, but they have a lot of little cuts in the tread to give as many edges as possible for traction on ice. Snow tires have large voids to allow semi solid snow and slush to evacuate.

All seasons are equally bad at all seasons.

Welcome back!

Car guys are the worst, most boring kind of nerd. I know, I'm one of them. Next time, just don't bring it up. If she asks a question about the car, answer her question and only her question. Otherwise you'll start talking about it and long before you know it her eyes will have glassed over and the date will be over, for her.

Debate: Go out tonight or stay in? Hang out with some people or enjoy a night by myself? Hmmm...decisions, decisions.

I'm on a bus going to Chitown from Urbana, and the driver put on a shitty Cam recording of Ted. It was pretty bad, both quality-wise and content-wise.

Mad boring stuff... And my ass hurts from sitting on this terrible seat for so long...

Labour Day long weekend?

That's for sissies. Working tomorrow and Monday.

Yay for capitalism.

Staying home for now.
My back has been all jacked up lately and instead of spending money on a massage therapist and the chiropractor the last couple months, I've spent it on the car.

The only time I'm comfortable, is bed, or car.
So tonight, after it cools down I'm drivin!

I think I have a problems....
