Welcome to the human race, my friend.I'll freely admit I made some POOR choices.....................
Don't know if it is good luck or the new starter fluid (heavy on the ether content - but will too much of that ruin my engine?). Or was it that, quite by accident, I had the throttle and the choke in exactly the right position, which seldom happens... I don't know why that antique started at only 5 ºF, but it did and I got a lot of work done that, without so doing, even my 4x4 truck would not have gotten out of the driveway. Oh well....So you been having some good luck with the Bobcat recently? ....well, I guess all your luck isn't bad.
How much snow do you have on the ground?Don't know if it is good luck or the new starter fluid (heavy on the ether content - but will too much of that ruin my engine?).

Hey Rich, have you tried Kratom for your aches and pains?
I found a source in SA which is half the price of US retailers.
Right on, Juice....I need to PM about the seed connection.Found a nursery in HA that has seedlings, so I can plant some Kratom at the new place when we go this April
Not yet. Did you bring any of the cheap stuff back (or would that be illegal?)?Hey Rich, have you tried Kratom for your aches and pains?

On average, about 30-33" with drifts over 6 feet and now my Bobcat piles along both sides of the driveway and yards up to 9 feet high.How much snow do you have on the ground?
I mailed some back, should be here this week. I'll send you some.Not yet. Did you bring any of the cheap stuff back (or would that be illegal?)?
With instructions so I don't do something stupid? and thank you...I mailed some back, should be here this week. I'll send you some.
Damn....I haven't looked at past posts about what's going on, but that is a lot of snow even for your area....correct?On average, about 30-33" with drifts over 6 feet and now my Bobcat piles along both sides of the driveway and yards up to 9 feet high.
We have had winters with only a foot on the ground and others with drifts 15-feet high (over the top of some of my trees). The only thing that really has made this winter more painful is that it is happening all at once (i.e., continuous cold and snow). Normal conditions are to be cold and snowy for a day or two, then ease off for several days. But I don't think we have even been UP to freezing for several weeks and everyone is suffering.Damn....I haven't looked at past posts about what's going on, but that is a lot of snow even for your area....correct?
It's going to be a freaking mess when the shit starts melting. Hope it melts slow, instead of -2F to 75F the same week.We have had winters with only a foot on the ground and others with drifts 15-feet high (over the top of some of my trees).

Yeah, that would make for standing puddles everywhere and very deep sticky mud. A "normal" end-of-winter is to gradually move up to 30, 35, 40, maybe a day or two of 50 and back down to 35, then back up to 40-45 until all the white shit melts and green starts popping up everywhere. The beginning of the green season is my favorite time of year.It's going to be a freaking mess when the shit starts melting. Hope it melts slow, instead of -2F to 75F the same week.
... there is always something to bitch about.
Dale planting nanners? Guess we will have to call him Dole?
So ScottsDale got soggy today, eh? Mostly sunny here. Got all the way up to 12 ºF and me and bob moved a few more tons of snow (cow corral this time). Amazing what that spray ether can do...Rain rain go away, come again....... in a few months......
Just noticed if you take the w out of weather, it's EatHer.....
HaahahahaIs that why you keep going DOWN south
There needs to be a button similar to "Like" that just says "Groan."Is that why you keep going DOWN south
Most of those are east of us. One applies (northern Meade County prairie) but there is nothing hazardous about 1" of snow.I noticed there are couple dozen hAzArdouS wEatHer aDvisOriEs in your area-----

In their bizz-are minds it's VERY hazardous....Most of those are east of us. One applies (northern Meade County prairie) but there is nothing hazardous about 1" of snow.
You ever try one of those block or radiator heaters?So ScottsDale got soggy today, eh? Mostly sunny here. Got all the way up to 12 ºF and me and bob moved a few more tons of snow (cow corral this time). Amazing what that spray ether can do...
It has a block heater, but it quit working a bazillion years ago. I would have replaced it, but I cannot get to the place where it screws into the engine. I think you have to pull the engine to get at that spot. Just like the battery problem - the magneto cannot charge the battery because a bunch of magnets have fallen off the flywheel, which you cannot replace without pulling the engine. The shop charges about a thousand bucks to do this. Sigh...You ever try one of those block or radiator heaters?
Yep, those issues cause lots of other issues.It has a block heater, but it quit working a bazillion years ago. I would have replaced it, but I cannot get to the place where it screws into the engine.

Have a good one, Rich....I'm not far behind.My only issue right at the moment is keeping my eyes open, so I think I better put my ancient ass to bed. Catch ya tomorrow.

Hey, I'm not the one who brought up yodeling in the canyon
So who did?
And, if that is supposed to be a reference to something gross, is it similar to that 3rd-graders' joke about echoes?
Onward and upward about bitching about the weather...
Dale? For some reason, that surprises me.Dale
Not for third-graders, that's for sure
One thing I can't bitch about today - it's sunny and 27 above
Hmmmm... Star Crock? Don't know anywhere else (at least not with public access).Where is a good Phaser when you need it Rich?
