southsider2k5 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 My train service got suspended today because an early train tore down electric lines, so I ended up getting a sick day out of it. Any other South Shore or Metra riders get messed up in all of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Prawn Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Yeah an airtemp of -3 I guess I could have walked the 60 miles lol There is no way to take public transportation from my house to work so no day off for me (thank God - if I did, that would be something isn't working on my car!). Gotta call mom in a few minutes to see if she made it to work without frostbite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach23 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 These are the days I love my attached garage. No need to even have a coat on in the car since it is already warm when I get in. Then I just pull into the underground garage at work and walk a few feet to the door. I don't miss the days back in high school when I had to wait outside for a bus.

The only thing better is the remote start so the car is nice and toasty when we leave work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Way back when at the old stadium there was a small "official" parking lot to the north. A small house with a backyard autorepair deal seperated it from the larger lot. I knew the off duty cop that always ran the lot and I would get an quick out and he would start up my car and have it nice a cozy when we got there. My clients would always look at me strange when I would leave the keys in the car and just pull up on the sidewalk. Best $5 I've ever spent. NOw if I could just get someone to turn the air on and cool my car . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach23 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 NOw if I could just get someone to turn the air on and cool my car . . . Yeah, I would actually rather get into a cold care and wait for it to warm up than get into one when it is 110 degrees and wait for it to cool. I really can't stand hot weather. I do rememeber when I worked overnight at McCormick place and used to come out to start my Jeep after it sat on the lakefront in sub-zero temps. It had a stick shift, and I couldn't shift the gears because the trans fluid was kinda solidified. I had to wait for it to warm up and liquify the fluid first.

mreye Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 My train service got suspended today because an early train tore down electric lines, so I ended up getting a sick day out of it. Any other South Shore or Metra riders get messed up in all of this? I had to drive in. I put my details in another thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
