Hatch is completely apart in preparation to GT Mat. Can't find roller

But, I called Ms. Pint and she is going to be nice enough to drop off a couple of different ones for me to try out later tonight

Thankfully it didn't do this on my side of Phoenix, but it's got to be a first, or first in a LOOOOONG time (that it's stuck to the ground):

Is this really Phoenix (Scottsdale area)? It was 75 degrees out yesterday...


Dodged the hail bullet though.

I took a pass, considering I've never driven in snow (in fact, I've never SEEN snow - it didn't snow by my house or downtown today, so I didn't even get to see it ). Could have, probably would have, been catastrophic.

He was driving and talking on his cellphone and when he looked at me I looked straight and shook my head. He started tailgating me so I did the typical thing and cleand my windshield. So he pulled me over and checked my info amd said,"you never know who your messin with, do ya?" I now have absolutely no respect for law enforcement AT ALL! I was harassed for absolutely no reason!

Generalizing law enforcement like that is fairly ignorant TBH. Like any industry there are a handful of crappy people involved but as a whole they deal with a ton of terrible things all day long and do their best to not take it out on the next guy. Then again I may be biased with LE
