Stayed Home Today

[nismodave]

I went down to the jobsite.......Walked outside 100 yards .....Went back to the car.....Drove to the job trailer and told my boss I was going home.

I have all the cold weather gear, but its too nasty out.:mad:

I hate to lose the days pay, but my health is more important.

[GRAMPS SS]

I called in "too fvucking cold to work" today.

I think korndogg went in. We'll see how long before he's back home posting here...lol. He was working in the basement which is semi-heated and enclosed though.


Tomorrow looks pretty bad too. Little higher temp but higher winds.

[GRAMPS SS]

[SmokinRAM114]

electric company i work for cancelled all outside work for today.my diesel barely started. plugged in w/anti gel aditive. Brad (underpsi) ur d-max start? non of them would here.

[BAD LS1]

Yeah -16 outside and 0 in my the garage... the fooking monte now has a charging system problem... either the alt or the batt is an issue due to this cold ass weather...

******* heat dont work here at work now either lol... making us all stay till the HVAC company gets here to look at the roof top heater...

[Crawlin]

Tom...

i'm thinking battery. Reason being is that all these GM batteries suck. When it's cold out like this, it sucks the juice from the battery to a point in which the car can't start. We had this on all the Malibu's at the dealership. It gets to a point that it's drained so bad that the only way to get the car to start again, is to charge it and hook it up to the tech2 to reset the computer. Not exactly 100% sure on what exactly is done, but I remember having to push a couple of the cars into the service bay in order for them to fix the issue. It wasn't just a simple recharge issue

[BAD LS1]

I will stick the charger on it when i get home. It started and ran right away... If a plate goes in the batt the car wont see the amps from the alt going and coming out of the batt. The alt could be working but its not making its way to the neg side of the batt and completing the circuit for the BCM to regconize it as it being charged.

Oh well... i dont wannt be the asshole thats gotta puta battery in it! its burried!

[2SLOW]

car wouldnt start here! So cant go to work! WOOT WOOT!

u have a job. but sweet not going to work = sleep.

[GRNDNL]

The Power Stroke started.....:headbang .....it was plugged in and still banged, hammered and smoked like a b!tch...........Mandy will have it a work all day, we'll have to see if it starts tonight not plugged in.......:rolleyes:

The Camaro started right up...............:D

[lasttimearound]

[nismodave]

**UPDATE**

My Boss just called me........All the other guys at my Company left at break, and we are not woking tommorow.

I guess I was the only one who had the brains to say "xxxx this!!!" in the begining of the day.

[jbiscuit]

I'm at work.....our plumbing isn't working. Everything at home was AOK however this morning. The wagon was PISSED OFF when I went to start it. My reflash on the car is not happy however. I'm getting like 12 miles to the gallon in this cold @ss weather. You could hang a bucket on the tailpipe and catch the raw fuel :(

[Flicktitty]

MMM Pancakes......:drool:

get ur ass down here Dave my moms makin Pancakes for me my dad and my nephew and my oldest brother all of which didn't work today so it's a full house lol

[Goat Roper]

Back where I went to school in Iowa they never cancelled classes due to the cold and the same goes for today, just a 2 hour delay and that is only to get all the buses started.

But then again we were all farm kids for the most part and were expected to deal with this weather.

[Heat Seeker WS6]

We cancelled all outside jobs for today leaving those installers working in the racine store - allowing me to work the Franklin store alone since its usually closed on Mondays. Usually spend my Mondays with the owner working on projects & stuff in racine so this is a nice break. Since Im here alone- gonna crank up that T-stat and play some music loud. :banana :banana

[Cutlass Queen]

My 95 Grand Am started up like a champ...no wonder I'm keeping trusty old reliable for a winter beater car :thumbsup :banana

:rolf still not done? :goof i thought you siad it would be done tomarrow?:loser

[FANAT1C]

Went out a little after 5am to warm up the car. I was surprised. It started, a little slow, but no problems. Has a 3 yr old napa battery. About 5 mins after coming back inside I get a call to not come in today due to the weather. :headbang I went back to bed for a couple more hours. Wish I can have a snooze time like that everyday!

[UnderPSI]

Yea, mine started fine. I had it plugged in but the temp was still only 52* The auto high idle is nice though let it run for 5 min and it was pretty warm. Sounds like a jet engine outside my house though.

:rolf :rolf yea mine high idles at around 1200rpm i know what ur talking about.

[Yooformula]

My little honduh chugged hard and slow trying to start but finally got it. I had half of my staff call out today.

[moels]

My SVT Contour started up like a champ! helps that my vhicles are garaged though.

[fly5150]

The Audi was outside last night and started, but was really pissed. Made some bad sounds for a few seconds, but all good now. The truck and VW at work are both diesel and neither one will start. Ha.

[Heat Seeker WS6]

and for those at home VH1 is playing good 'ole fashioned rock! yes~!
Yankee Rose- DLR
turn it up Nothing like having big & very good speakers at my disposal here all alone at work

[scaleracer]

NO SCHOOL GO MOTHER NATURE!!!:banana1:

[Teufelhunden]

It was 15° in the garage this morning so the TDi started right up. I'm betting, after sitting outside all day, she won't start this afternoon.

-17° at the house this morning. Coldest I've ever seen.

[Prince Valiant]

The jeep started...only becuase I just got a new battery on friday. The old one had a tough enough time with 15 degree weather, let alone this stuff. But it's only at times like these that I'm glad I didn't get a turbodiesel.

I'm at work even though school's cancelled.

Took my dog and my gf's dog for a 3 mile run this morning too...I look silly running in snow pants and ski mask with my ski gogles on,I'm sure, but the dogs love it.

[wikked]

My dizzum started up at around 9pm last night after sitting outside most of the day. Sounded like shìt though, made some whooshing noises I've never heard before lol *bites nails*

Optima red top FTW I guess.

[Lash]

My Yeller top always starts me truck.

[Korndogg]

yeah...i had to work today lol.


any my red top let me down today and I park in a heated garage..hmmmm lol but I didnt drive it yesterday so I think thats why. I think I still have a draw from somewhere.

[turbogarrett]

My work van started right up and I have a nice indoor job, so I didn't have much of a choice! I love to sleep in, but I get bored sitting around the house, rather take my time off when there is nice weather.

Now get to work and make some $$, racing season is right around the corner:banana1:

[Korndogg]

i wouldnt mind staying home cause i dont make much as a pre-apprentice anyway lol.

[Lash]

[Cjburn]

[Reverend Cooper]

[Goat Roper]

Not near as cold as yesterday morning, although I bet you would be hard pressed to tell the difference.

The lowest I could find at 5:45 was -9.2f

[nismodave]

No work today either.

[moels]

Home with the kids again. My work doesn't shut down for the weather, Monday and Tuesday are days off for me. I have to fire the car up tomorrow at 4:30am and head in to work. That will suck donkey balls for sure.

[wikked]

11yrs ago when it was like -25º (actual temp) I was out shoveling/snowblowing.
It was snowing good, and as it melted on my eyelashes & eyebrows, it re-froze and formed ice balls there, only was able to blow my nose after warming up in the truck and the snot would unfreeze.
That was a fun night.

Get to work ladies :)

[Teufelhunden]

I wouldn't work in this either. No way.
