Got a smaller one yet to fix. Had to replace the belt and refurb the variable speed pulley on the mower this summer. Always something!

I figure since we got the snow tires on the cars, installed the roof ice melt cables and have the snowblower all ready to go it won't snow this winter.
Like when we got the generator after Sandy, power hasn't gone out for more than 5 min since. I go start it up every month, change the oil yearly.

I bought 3 snow shovels in October so that this year all the kids would be working. So, I ma doing my part to keep away the snow. I did make sure that there was at least one left on the rack for the next person. No sense in jinxing them and causing a freak snow storm because they couldn't find a shovel.

This particular fix cost me 66 cents in hardware and took about 10 min so the statute of limitations may be ready to expire. I hope someone near me picks up the slack .

I might hook the plow up to the truck to make sure everything works ok, if everything works we'll all get another 2 weeks of dessert woods.

Well crud, it looks like my luck has run out. I fired up the snowblower last night to make sure it is running. Unfortunately I think it was too little too late for the Mid-Atlantic. At least I have plenty of shovels this year.

Hope everyone stays warm and the lights stay on.

[jatoxico]

Yup, looks like times up! Models are all over the place right now but we're getting something on Saturday. See what happens.

Just go out every 2 hours and you'll be fine.

All jokes aside, anyone who get serious snow has to be serious about snow removal. There's no bigger PITA than having 24 inches of snow on the ground with a 100 foot long driveway and 1 shovel!

How about 1,300 feet of driveway and 26" of snow?

I got you beat by 20 feet.

OK so we finally got whacked. Gonna try and fix the Toro single stage this weekend. Any chance that keeps the white stuff at bay for another couple weeks?

 

[Jazzberry]

Just ordered a plow for my Ranger. Should help a little.

J, do me a favor ... quit fixing chit, ok???

I know, it looks like we got another one coming . Problem may be that I dropped the ball and didn't fix the Toro! Could've used it on that last one 1-3" that turned out to be 10-12". That machine isn't bothered at all by wet snow with a slush base.
