It is a balmy 40 degrees here but that is our high for today as the temps begin making a slow descent. ??? We are supposed to get our first snow of the season tomorrow, about 1 to 2 inches. :o

That will probably lead to a lot of accidents for the folks around here. ::) The snow will melt in a couple of days as the temps will rise again to the high 30s. ;D ;D ;D

Had a visit from #1 Son yesterday.......suckered him into the garage with a momma cooked pot roast dinner.........  to yank on the damn snowblower cord and get it fired up for the first time this winter. ;)

Had that thing for 10 years or more............NEVER changed a plug, drained the fuel after winter, added Stabil yada yada, and it STILL starts up after a few good yanks after sitting for 8-9 months.......year after yearI keep telling myself........ THIS predicted 8 inches of snow MIGHT just do her in......... and I can get a new one :)

STAY WARM and safe up there

My blower is a used Toro...runs decent...what I like is the GREAT electric starter... ;D....I'm hoping to make it last a bit longer tho....I looked at new one ones and got sticker shock.....so a rebuilt 'newer' model might be the way to go again here.....guy in Hinckley has always got some sweet deals...

If I had to pull start it...I may as well use a shovel....LOL.....the one I had, started just looking at it...the last one needed 150 pulls just to limber it up.....piece of junk..
