Only a few hours left then heading home.
A heating pad would basically do the same thing Fred. But thanks for thinking about me
Or the dreaded kadidiler valve.
Hi guys, I went out at 9:30, fired up the snow blower, made two passes and the dam thing quit chucking snow. Coldest morning of the year of course.
Went over to my neighbour and borrowed his single stage. I must admit it does work good. It's a 6.5 hp so it'll chuck the snow fairly well.
After lunch I hauled my snow blower out and took the guard off the drive belt, everything looked fine. Fired it up and away she went. Went next door and blew my neighbours driveway out and hauled ***. Not sure what the problem was, maybe some ice got caught up in the pulleys, who knows? Glad she back to working again.
While I was at it I set the levels of the skids as they were too low and not clearing properly.
It had warmed up to -4 with a -11 windchill after lunch and I fixed it in the driveway in the sun so not really too bad. Been in worse lol

what kinda snow thrower do you have ?
It's a Craftsman 24" with a 10 hp Briggs. Power steering and heated handles. Big lug tires and 12 years old. Really good shape for it's age and works super.
I got the 24" so it would be easier to get into the garage between the door and the car.

if the engine is still measure in HP instead of CC it truly is one of the last good ones
It shows both actually. 24/10 on the housing and 308cc on the motor.
The formula to work out HP from CC is divide the 308 by 30 if you didn't know.
Still nice and sunny out and gets dark around 5:30 now. Apparently we gain 1.5 minutes of daylight every day.
Cya tomorrow and have a great evening.

The spoiler will always be there but your piece of mind may not. Dont feel guilty in taking a break.
I take a lot of breaks but your right I feel guilty and shouldn't.

That grilled cheese and soup sounds good. I had a can of tuna and 2 white castles[sliders as some know them]
Not sure what that is but I like tuna.
