That will not last long.....

Yeah, I know. Haven't used the snowblower in 3 years, but finally got it running yesterday. Just in time.

 

[GregD]

It is going to be interesting to see how close the weather guessers got it?

I am sitting at my desk looking out front at my boys shoveling snow....G-daughter pelting them with snowballs and I am drinking

 

[Suprtek]

Thanks everybody. Its only a cold. Not enough to keep me down but more than enough to make me miserable. With any luck, I'll feel better for work tomorrow. At least everyone has a great game to talk about from yesterday!

WE had a 10 HP blower for years. It sat more than I used it but when I did it was an all day job as we have some older folks around us. I cleared 8 to 10 drives/walks on average. I sold it last spring. I have automatic shoveling personnel now.....

I stopped watching that game at halftime. Didn't realize the Colts won until I got to work today! Must of been a hell of a second half!

Snow no issue. Cold is going to be a B !

It set a record for come backs as I understand. The look on the KC sideline was priceless.

I don't know how many HP this one is... maybe 6... it's an old Craftsman that I have neglected and mistreated. I need to take it for a nice tuneup and oil change (do 2-cycles get oil changes? I know I put oil in with the gas, but is there other oil?).

I shoveled my driveway, my brothers, my dads, his neighbors. It's part of my INGO fitness club work out! But today I'm feeling it!

Maybe a chain oil or gear box but not the motor. Tune up is clean the air filter and a new plug....carry on.

Probely the same look on my face when I heard about it this morning! Good for them! I hope they go far into the playoffs! Seeing how my beloved Bears are not.

Lovey ruined that team.

ST, try Cold-eeze

Been eating that stuff like candy. If its really doing anything I'd hate to see how bad I would feel without it.

Now he can ruin Tampa Bay! The bears have the same problem the cowboys have, the owners!

 

[churchmouse]

I have to actually do something today in my shop. List of things to do is getting too long. I have several personal gun projects to start/finish and a few for family/friends. My BIL tasked me with re-building his childhood squirrel rifle. 1902 Remington single shot drop block .22 that was his Grandfathers/fathers and then his. It is do-able but will require some new parts that i am sure will have to be made.

You all stay safe out there today.....and warm.....

Well, there is that issue to overcome.......

Try some Jack Daniels! Try alot of it. My dad would do shots of warm Jack when he had a cold. Come to think of it, he would drink shots of Jack when he didn't have a cold!
