Look at my Ranger parked next to stuff

[a6m5]

I didn't even know there was a Blockbuster left, I thought you Photoshopped your Ranger in front. lol I had to Google it to see there's only one left in Bend, OR. I thought they all disappeared with the dinosaurs.

I live in Oregon & I only found out after documentary about "the Last Blockbuster" came up on Netflix(the irony... lol). A buddy wanted to go visit volcanic crater that's near the same town(Bend, OR), so we made a trip out of it. I loved video rentals back in the day, Blockbuster included, but it didn't quite do it for me honestly? It was still pretty neat to just experience the throwback atmosphere. lol

That's pretty cool there's still one left there. We had several around the area and it was a Saturday night go - to for movies especially during the winter. You always had to get there early when a new release came out to try and get it.

Do they still have a Fotomat drive though there. lol

My '23 Ranger Lariat parked next to my snow pile at work! We currently have more snow in the past month than we had all last winter!

I might have that much in my driveway. However, what you folks lack in snow, you definitely make up for in cold temps! I sure don’t miss those Alberta winters I endured as a teenager. Stay warm.

As of Dec. 28, the amount of precipitation in Edmonton in December was 416 per cent above its 30-year average, making it the city’s sixth wettest December since such data has been recorded. And since then we have had more snow falling, oh and freezing rain, can't forget the freezing rain! With still 3-4 months of snow to go, we may actually have to get a dump truck come by so we can get rid of the snow. We have more snow now than we had all last winter!

As for temps, this was a very cold December, with day time high's around -15c to -22c generally, but feeling like -35c in the wind. We are suppose to warm up to around -6c for our day time high's, but rest assured we will get our annual lows of -40c or colder and daytime high's of -30c!

Yeah, I don’t miss that. One morning, it was so cold I got frost bite on my thumb and forefinger just from starting my car so I could go to class - medical services at SAIT put some cream in my fingers to kill the pain (which worked quite quickly) and put some in a small prescription bottle for me to have in case the pain returned. I asked what it was - the nurse looked at me and said very matter-of-factly, “Preparation H.”

She lied. It was Viagra cream and now look at you.

Yikes, so far we've had a mild winter but I know that cold is coming.

Interesting possibilities - is it safe to use on other parts? We could repackage it and sell it - make better than damper or 303 money, I would think.

Actually in front of it, but depending on where you are standing(probably).

Man I wish Blockbusters or video stores in general would make a come back. The last one in my area (Family Video) closed shortly after covid. That one was cool because right next door was Marcos Pizza (which is still there) and there was an order window in Family Video. Order your pizza or whatever. Then, while they're making it, look for a movie or 2. Best of both worlds.

We don't have Blockbuster Video or Rogers video anymore, but next door to where I live is a Movie World rental place, they still rent movies!

OMG, pizza & a movie you can’t go wrong! lol

I guess it is, you go first.

But I don't see why you'd want to make yourself stand out even more?
