Looks like we may get hammered around denver this time. Anyone needing tires, I suggest doing it sooner than later. I know the shop I work at should have some open spots on the schedule the rest of the week.
  How’s everyone’s preps coming?

Food, water, blankets, full tanks of gas, and enough things to keep the wife and I entertained (books and puzzles duh) for the weekend.

Realistically things will be fine and we'll just sit on our asses and watch netflix/hulu all weekend anyways.

I should buy more beer.  Thanks for the reminder. Otherwise, I'm good to go.

I drive a snow plow for my town. I asked for time off a few weeks ago. Low and behold I leave tomorrow for a warmer climate.  I'll be thinking of you all and hope it's not as bad as predicted.

Truck gassed up.  
Fridge stocked.
Booze - enough to take out a small frat.
2x Honda EU2000's, plus 15 gallons gas.

I may get bored on Saturday, grab a couple shovels and my med bag, and go trolling in the truck looking for trouble (mainly people in it)

I need to gas up Friday. Have a champion 2kw inverter on standby, decently stocked fridge and snow blower. Fixing snow blowers for people on the side right now as everyone let theirs sit with E10 fuel in them since last year.  Even worked on one generator as well this am between all the tires and brake work that came in at work today.

I may fire up the subie on Saturday and go get burritos. It’s starting to rain and spit snow here in Golden right now.

I need to make a lunchtime run to get Hot Pockets and more Mtn. Dew.  

I live in Broomfield, so maybe the city will have a big book burning over the weekend and I can keep warm there.   https://www.facebook.com/BroomfieldPublicLibrary/posts/3851899771566281

Just went to walmart for fun. Place was ransacked. Bread, frozen meals, most meat, and almost all the bottled water is gone. Saw a couple that was literally running around the store grabbing stuff off their list.

Scored myself a few packs of federal birdshot somehow too!

They didn't forget.  These are likely people who arrived here in the last 5 years.

Yeah that’s a good point. When I go to the Keys I’ll be prepared for hurricane season. I don’t wanna be “that guy” haha. I’ve dealt with that guy enough here.

I made my grocery run last night.  Bought about $40 worth of food, no more than normal.

I did do one "prepper" thing today.  I added a plug to my blower motor on the furnace, so if I do lose main power I can unplug it from the house power, and plug it into my generator.

Just went out on a drive. Made it about 200 yards from my house before I saw someone stuck in my neighborhood. Helped dig them out and drove straight home afterwards. Turns out the kid lives 2 houses away from me.

Nice, the best way to move snow. I did it at work for 5 hours today in a volvo 110 clearing it.

Moved to Wednesday,  but yeah. It's taken us three years to get to this point.
Wife got a new, better job a couple weeks ago so that is icing on the cake.
