  1. HOLY CRAP! I had to do that over a month and a half ago! It's been above freezing since Sunday, but we still have 6 inches of snow on the grass and an inch of ice on the streets!
  2. If I was you, I'd still go. The Icelanders are used to these volcanic activities and know how to work around them. Although the Blue Lagoon is currently closed (it's an over=priced tourist trap anyway - better hot springs elsewhere), the only thing that would prevent you having a GREAT time is if the smoke from an eruption messes with planes landing/taking off from the airport.
  3. I was in Iceland when Fagradalsfjall was erupting! Long hike from the car park, but spectacular! They let us walk to within a couple hundred feet and it erupted like clock work every 15 minutes.
  4. ....one can only ponder how much the new versions will increase in value!

  6. Absolute SHIT holiday weekend. Starting Thursday night we had 42 continuous hours of light snowfall. Just when it looked like it would stop and you shovel everything clear, it started snowing heavy again. Temps were 20 degrees daytime highs and single digits at night. We ended up with ten and half inches at my house! To make it worse, the City in it's infinite wisdom plowed the streets on Friday night and were too busy worrying about plastic bags from grocery stores or changing pronouns on public signs to plow the streets again on Saturday morning WHEN WE GOT AN ADDITIONAL FIVE AND A HALF INCHES OF SNOW! Yea, they'll hand out fines to homeowners for not shoveling their sidewalks within 24 hours of a storm, but they can't be bothered with clearing the streets!
  7. 66 and sunny today.....28 and 6-9 inches of snow on Friday!!! 😪
  8. I paid cash for everything. About the only thing I saw that you HAD to pay with credit card was gas (most gas stations are pay at the pump with no attendant), renting electric bikes or scooters and paying for parking. Be careful paying with your credit card. Met a guy from Ohio that brought his family there for vacation. He took them to a KFC in Reykjavik and didn't pay any attention to the prices on the menu board. After his family of four was done ordering, the bill was $314.00 US!!!!
  9. Yep, all those Ukrainian babies and children being bombed and kidnapped by Russia for two years now and not a peep from the liberal anti-Semitic protestors about that atrocity.
  10. I went to Iceland during the Covid years (one of only 3 European countries that allowed American tourists). I agree with the above that a Southern Golden Circle tour is a must. If you or your family are Game of Thrones fanes, you can do a GoT tour and visit filming sites there. Also, don't forget a whale tour (puffins will be gone at that time)! Finally, bring plenty of cash, EVERYTHING is expensive - especially eating out! Bonus is the cheapest grocery store - stock up and eat in the room when you can.
  11. We've been blessed here in Colorado so far. One weekend of snow and cold, but the last two weeks, 50's/60's and sunshine!
  12. DAMN HOW COOL! First "Hoodie Girl" reveals herself and now we find "Faggot Man"! Jimmy better start writing his memoirs before ALL secrets are revealed.
  13. What a great way to start a Monday morning! So great to see Jimmy play live again...with the double neck...with such ATTITUDE! Hopefully, he continues to make this decision!
  14. The toxicology will show that he died ala Whitney Houston....except in a hot tub rather than a bath tub. R.I.P. Chandler, sorry for your struggle.
  15. Last Monday we had a record high of 81 degrees. Saturday we had 24 hours of non-stop snow and a high of 23 degrees. Total snow fall of six and a half inches. Temp this morning was 14 degrees!
  16. Take a chill pill dude! Listening to interviews of "witnesses" 20 years after the event all trying to get their 15 minutes of fame is not going to prove any of your conspiracy theories.
  17. Winter hits us this weekend. High Sunday of 29 and Sat/Sunday anywhere from 1-5 inches of snow! You'd think the weather/climate geniuses that can predict that climate change will warm the planet 2.5 degrees 100 years from now could do a little better on snow totals three days from now.
  18. I've been fascinated with the Kennedy assassination since I was in Jr. High. Over the years, I accumulated dozens of books on the assassination, Kennedy, Oswald and Ruby. I never believed the Warren Commission Report. All that changed when I saw the program on the History Channel titled: "Unsolved History - the Magic Bullet" After seeing that program, it answered all the questions I had and had me concluding: 3 shots fired One gunman from the sixth floor Depository No "magic bullet", just physics Case closed! I'm unable to provide the Youtube link here as it is an "Age-Restricted" video, but type it into the search window of YouTube and see for yourself.
  19. Ya know, Ohio State is in my Top 5 most hated college football programs.....they've just fallen out of my Top 5 for that!
