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....
How much snow do you have on the ground?

Found a nursery in HA that has seedlings, so I can plant some Kratom at the new place when we go this April
Right on, Juice....I need to PM about the seed connection.
Not yet. Did you bring any of the cheap stuff back (or would that be illegal?)?
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.
I mailed some back, should be here this week. I'll send you some.
With instructions so I don't do something stupid?
and thank you...
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?
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.
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.
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.
But speaking of melting, I think it is time for my tired old face to melt into a pillow. Yak at y'all tomorrow.
... there is always something to bitch about.
For which cranky old Pharts should be thankful

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......
I noticed there are couple dozen hAzArdouS wEatHer aDvisOriEs in your area-----

Just noticed if you take the w out of weather, it's EatHer.....
Is that why you keep going DOWN south
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....
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...
Yep, those issues cause lots of other issues.
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.
Man I can't believe it's still POURING outside....supposed to warm up next week....should be prime
Have a good one, Rich....I'm not far behind.

Hey, I'm not the one who brought up yodeling in the canyon
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? Uh, like that dumb ass who kept trying to tell sex jokes in... what was that Arnie movie about the alien in South America? Predator? Hello! hello hello hello... the 2x4 broke and I fell in... ran into another guy in there who was searching for something... he kept saying "If we can find my keys, we can drive outta here." Now, have we sufficiently covered the gross stuff? Onward and upward about bitching about the weather...
Heard that Flagstaff, AZ got three feet of snow today. Wow! We only got an inch (so far). Guess this is one of the few days I don't want to trade places with that sunny state.

Not for third-graders, that's for sure
One thing I can't bitch about today - it's sunny and 27 above
Supposed to get up to another 6 inches of rain over the next 48 hours.
Just fixed up Wife unit and myself some air fried frozen fish sandwich patties and Ore Ida fries.
Alaskan Polish fish?

Dale? For some reason, that surprises me.Dale

I didn't mean to say third graders would say those things, but that the men who do say those things have a third-grader mentality.
Nice to know someone has fairly decent weather. I think our high today was 15 ºF with slightly over an inch of new snow. And the friggin' steer broke down the cross fence and sheered a 6" gate post off at ground level. No way in hell I can auger a new post hole in this frozen ground with 30" of snow on top of it.
I skipped 5th grade mentality.
Where is a good Phaser when you need it Rich?

Hmmmm... Star Crock? Don't know anywhere else (at least not with public access).
For pubic access try porn?
Ever wondered about the difference in the way we pronounce "public" versus "pubic"? They seem to be the same word, though one has an "l" and the other doesn't. So if "pubic" is pronounced "pube-ick," then why isn't "public" pronounced "pube-lick," which would give it an entirely different meaning...
You mean everyone does not pronounce it that way??
that explains the strange looks...

Funny mind movie... yes, Crom, I can see you standing in Wally World pronouncing it that way and a couple old ladies in stretch pants nodding rapidly... (a look of "yes please" on their faces)

Someone who basically lives in a desert complaining about rain?
