how are y'all killing time during this freeze?
 

I can feel the cabin fever creeping up on me. Been in my house since Thursday afternoon. The thought that I may not be able to leave till Monday afternoon or so sucks. What are you guys doing? Anyone driving around? Are restaurants even open? All I've been doing is sitting around on the internet wishing I could go to buffalo wild wings or something. Luckily the UT game is on to keep me distracted for a few hours.

Been in the garage, messing around with the new car. Adjusting the idle, installing my foot gas pedal cover (LOL!), just little things. It's too damn cold to stay out there very long.

Also, spending time online, buying parts for it, so when it does warm back up, I'll have something to do then.

im bored af

Been watching Mecum Auto Auctions on the Velocity channel.

You mean one of these?

I havent left the house since thursday either but still been busy. Christmas decorating, online christmas shopping, keeping my stir crazy 5 year old busy, yoga and playing gta5 with Strokd when we both have time.

Studying for finals. Last undergraduate semester ever!

So glad I never have to take another final, especially after four years of college and three years of law school. This is the first winter since like the 6th grade that I don't have finals and it's sooooooo awesome. Lol.

(Sorry to rub it in!)

We havn't had power in Dallas since Friday at 4:00am. Just got it back. BUT my wife and I drove to Lewisville yesterday morning to stay with some family to stay warm. Scariest drive ever. Lol.

Yes Sir. I bought it at Kissingers Auto Supply in Burleson, in 1979. It's been in quite a few cars over the years. Sadly, I've lost the dimmer switch foot pedal, so I guess I'll have to buy a new one.

Well we closed the shop down today, roads near me were terrible this morning so I have been driving around our neighborhood sliding around corners and playing with my daughter on her gokart. Been really nice to finally have a day off that I can spend time with my daughter just goofing off. We are now getting ready to eat dinner with some friends and tip back a few rounds of makers mark 46 and some sample whiskeys I picked up from the liquor store a couple weeks ago. Tryin to find a favorite.. Hehe

Nice! At least you're keeping busy. My wife is just doing school work and I'm pretty much on my laptop all day with the TV in the background. Find myself being hungry just out of boredom.

It sucks as well because before Thanksgiving I had made it up to jogging 7 miles. Now with Thanksgiving break and this damn ice fest, I'll probably be back down to 3 miles or so.

Nice man, congrats! At least you have no excuses to not study!

Yeah all I've seen in Lewisville is the street in front of my house. I've seen some people leaving and they seem to make it back home in one piece, I'm just not really willing to risk it. I'd love to go out though and see what the rest of the town looks like though.

Saw someone last night redlining the shit out of their SUV trying to drive up the road. They seemed incredibly determined to leave for whatever reason. Probably flooring the gas for a good 5 to 10 minutes and eventually made it up the road and out of the neighborhood. I just assumed it was a pissed off girlfriend or something!

Very nice. Sure wish I would have thought to pick up some bourbon before this crap hit. I'd be having a hell of an easier time passing the time. I'm just about out of beer. Gonna have to tap a bottle of Cabernet next.

My kids have been driving me up a wall since we are stuck in the house. Luckily they are staying the night with my folks tonight. We were supposed to go to my wife's company Xmas party but it got cancelled. So we said screw it and are going to a movie.

Been watching online interviews of random pornstars on youtube. Also watching all of the F&F videos and extras on DVD, can't wait to get F&F6 next week. Sucks to be living off Dominos but whatever. Need to go grocery shopping badly but, thank God I have a whole package of toilet paper.

This made me laugh!

I have drank two gallons of wine in the last two days. Lol.

Interesting. My wife's company was supposed to have a Christmas part as well. At House of Blues. Obviously cancelled. Not sure if we got a confirmation that our hotel reservation got cancelled and refunded yet.

Wait, are pizza places delivering? I keep seeing commercials for Pizza Hut and was thinking of ordering a pizza and getting the driver to pick up some beer for me for a little extra cash haha
