I wish I could find the pic of my dad and I in the stands from SI. I have the magazine buried somewhere in a trunk in the garage.

any of you snow belt fuckers know what to do about frozen pipes? I've got a bathroom downstairs in my 97-year-old house that was a converted back porch. So there's no HVAC ducts to it and no hot water. I just close the kitchen door in the winter so I don't waste power trying to heat it. I usually don't take a shit down there when the temperature's below 40.

Like a fool, I didn't even think about that bathroom last night when it was down to 4 or 5 degrees. I left the faucets inside dripping and they were fine but that downstairs toilet had ice in the bowl this morning and now no water flows into the toilet when you flush it and there's nothing coming out of the sink.

I put a portable heater in there and opened the kitchen door to get the temp up but when I left for work around 5 p.m. Friday, it was still frozen. Am I looking at a busted pipe when it thaws out over the weekend or will it just melt and things go back to normal? I have no clue what to do. I've never seen weather this cold.

We've already got 11 inches of snow and they're forecasting another 5-10 for tomorrow... -17 last night, 24 right now and sleet pouring down. Suppose to turn to snow by morning and then rain all day Sunday.

If you can get to the pipe that's frozen, a hair dryer is what most people here use. A propane torch will do the trick also and is much faster. If you can't access the pipe that's frozen, you'll have to wait until it thaws itself out.

a bust pipe isn't out of the question though - can you shut off the water to that area or do you have to do the whole house?

Oakafor is Gred ODen before the injuries and he wont be that great of pro he as terrible foot work, never as two hands on the ball, he was out played by Meekd even before the injury, Meeks scored on him at will.

Gred ODen would be a great villain name.

One more weather related pic... here one of the bridge between Cincy add Covington KY during the '37 flood.. Ohio River crested at 80 feet. Amazing.

had to get on the roof and scrape snow away from the DTV dish

I know that's a bad idea but I ain't waiting for the snow to melt

That 37 flood made it all the way up to Crosley Field. The 1997 one came almost as close. My soon to be 18 year old (stay away hedge) was just born and in the hospital for jaundice when that one hit. B

in my hometown the Army Corp of Engineers showed up with boats to help people out with the floods - people were moving livestock up to the second floor of their house - crazy shit like that.

After the emergency had passed, the Army corp just left those boats lying around for anyone to take so my grandfather snagged one.

I believe I stayed at a hotel on the Kentucky side of that bridge in January of 1990. I think it was a cylindrical building. Being the low man on the totem pole at that time, I got the plum assignments like Cincinnati in winter.
