Started off bright and early (by my standards) to run a bunch of errands, only the Fit is 100% dead.  No power at all.  I didn't leave the lights (interior or exterior) on, and the car has less than 700 miles one it.  

 

Most likely I will be webcasting from home this evening.

So that's an unfit Fit, then?

^ Still unfit.  After getting it jumped, the Fit is once again dead.  I'm having it towed to the dealership this morning, where I will no doubt spend most of the day cooling my heels.  Maybe I'll spend it listening to the Happy Mondays.

Started seasoning my 2nd carbon steel pan (after failing with my first). Not perfect but not nearly as bad as the first. 

 

Looks great to me...

Are you kidding?  That looks well nigh perfect.

Yep, I used it for the first time and after flipping the egg (I used butter), it stuck a bit.  I guess I am going to have to use lots of butter/oil in the beginning.  How long until it is "stable"?

 

Also, WTF is with this weather???  We are on our Spring Break (one week later than usual even) and I woke up to 26 degrees this morning.  I am sure that is quite balmy for the folks north of here, but I live in Houston and it's March!  Guess I won't be headed to the beach this week...

Went to fedex, returned home with my car still full of boxes. Why? Because this shut down everything #thesouth

Nice pan , Shelly! I still really like mine.

Sucks, Justin.

I called in an insurance claim on the policy of the lady who backed into my car in the parking lot this weekend.

Ouch!  That sucks, too, John.  Where are the Monee's finest when you really need them?   

Yeezh, John.

Lollers, you got a lot less than we did up North o' y'all.

the dooms day maps had us in the bullseye with 15-21", while local news was forecasting 6-12". we got like 3-4".

Yeezh, John.

you still live south of the mason-dixon, southerner.

Northern Virginia is filled with damn Yankees and therefore isn't in the south.

 

How did West Virginia get pulled back in? 

please add Stockton, CA to the southern map, i just talked to a guy there today and pretty sure he would qualify

Ha. Exactly. Too busy lecturing innocent Chicagoans about slow rolling through stop signs.

Sucks, John.  Here's to hoping her insurance doesn't give you any shit about the repairs.

^^^ That.  Good luck, sorry you have to even go through the hassle......

Oh, I wasn't referencing (ancient) politics, I was just talking relative to the Southern edge of the storm roll-through.  I think I was above, you were below.  I think.

Thanks for the support, everyone! So far, so good. The other driver has State Farm, and so do I. I have a police report and pictures. Should be pretty obvious what happened. My agent said to file a claim directly against her policy.  I spoke to the insurance company yesterday and again today to confirm my version of the story. They're still waiting to hear back from the other party. She actually was a nice 19 year old girl with her little sister. At the time of the accident, she came right out and said she was so sorry, then called her Dad to ask what to do. Dad said to file a police report, and I agreed.  So hopefully it'll be no more than a nuisance.

seriously. northern VA might as well be Wisconsin.

Sounds like it'll work out fine.

You should be fine John.  That said, in my area State Farm is the second worse company to deal with on a claim that I've run into for this kind of situation.
