I have fond memories from my youth about taking advantage of an empty parking lot coated with fresh powder to "test" my snow driving abilities in a rear-wheel-drive car built in 1979. I remember being able to fish-tail the back end up to about 60 degrees and still recover, hehehe  .

Or a 180 degree turn on a small 'road' laid out with cardboard boxes, without knocking any boxes over. The instructor at that training I mentioned showed us how to do these. With his 'worthless and underpowered' Mercedes.

... and even when it is just snow, while you can safely drive in it most of the other people trying to drive somewhere are inexperienced enough that they're at least as dangerous as the drunks trying to get home after beer o'clock friday night is over and the bars all close.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Been a roller coaster year, we've had wild azaleas blooming a month early and all this week cool again. My son just planted his garden last week and getting down to 33 Wednesday night then back up to almost 80 end of week. Crazy!

While Vs 2017 seems to be a good upgrade, first try to install it on a separate machine...
Installing it side-by-side with 2015 will cause a bit problem with NuGet version, and will force you to update it to be able to continue with your work...
If you already hit this wall, the update you are looking for is here: NuGet Gallery | Home[^]
If you are still before and planning to install Cordova, check that PowerShell 3.0 istalled... from here: Download Windows Management Framework 3.0 from Official Microsoft Download Center[^]
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I have no legacy issues, when I switch to 2017 then everything switches to 2017. anyway, I planned to upgrade at the weekend but ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) .

That's the easiest way... For me on the other hand it is a slower path, so I have it work side-by-side with 2015, 2010 and 2008...
The only issue I found so far, is the one with NuGet in 2015...

I've had a couple of weird issues:
- When I first open VS2017 (after install) and open my first solution, nothing is displayed in the solution explorer.
- When adding a default .NET Core class library to a default .NET Core ASP.NET project, I get a number of errors. Same when adding NuGet packages, it's like Visual Studio doesn't update it's references when building/analysing the code.
In both cases, closing and re-opening Visual Studio seems to clear the issues.
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

The oddest thing is that it happened when I had VS2015 installed, so I completely re-installed the whole PC but it still did it again after that.
It might be down to some oddity on the PC - it's a Lenovo Thinkpad, about 18 months old. I'll see if it happens on the Dell Optiplex I've got.

No need to warn all of us. If your name was Graus, we all would be heading for a safe place now.

Since last weekend, I'm an officially licensed / trained volunteer firefighter for the City / canton of Zug 
Feels really great - If anyone of you lacks physical strength and wants to gain some, become a volunteer firefighter. You're doing something good, and free excercise comes along with it.

Congratulations!
That is an excellent way to spend your spare time helping others.

We do have some guys like that. But believe me, if you're called into action you will overcome that.
We had that one guy who would never go near a ladded during training. But as soon as sh*t got real he was as quick as a weasel to go up. And it was an alu ladder, not one of the nice stable truck-mounted ones. See here[^] (Note: Not actual footage).
Nevermind the fact we had to abseil him on his way down, but the way up was quick. Real quick.

Well done. A very worthwhile achievement. Here in Australia volunteer firefighters (and other volunteers) save countless lives and much property every year while often putting themselves at great risk. True heroes.

well done - just don't go starting fires so you can put them out (it does happen apparently, there's a small % of people who become volunteer firefighters because they are pyromaniacs)

No worries, I won't - And here it's a rare case that things like that happen. We get enough to do without laying our own fires.

Welcome to the fraternity. I've been a volunteer with the New South Wales Rural Fire Service for nigh on 15 years. Way too old and wise to jump on the back of a truck, so I work in Command/Communications. It is one of the most rewarding things I've ever done.
Cheers,
Peter

Thanks, Peter. It feels great, and certainly is a rewarding "hobby", even though it's for everyone of us more that just a hobby - It's a way of life.

Serious question I've always wondered about: How do you manage emergencies during your work day? Being off call while at work would seem to leave a big hole in the duty roster between 8 and 5, while even if you work close to home being called out regularly seems overly disruptive in any but the most flexible of jobs.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
