My detached garage/shop is heated but I only turn it on when I plan to be out there for a while when it's cold.
That’s fair. My natural gas bill is double at this house in the wintertime than what my last place was - I’m sure the garage heating is most of that.

That ain’t even cold yet. You better light ‘em up if they try to cancel on you.
the one that drives has had 4 knee surgeries and shoulder surgeries and is 67 so i let him decide but i still say its not that bad and t shirt weather
rain makes me hurt more than the show does for some reason

Spent most of the day getting Albert a place near the rest of the family for him to be buried. Funny how that sort of thing always gets handed off to me. But, I've been taking care of these things for a long time now. Over the years I've seen our "family" section of the little cemetery grow to include surprisingly large amount of people.

Is the Chevelle done?


Nope. I'll get back at it now that deer season is done for me. Got new alternator and power steering brackets. Need to make some to hold the harness across the bellhousing. Have to drill for a pass through on the firewall for the ecm wiring.

I got the snowmobile started and running! Added a bottle of HEET and it started 4th pull after a while.
You added the whole bottle to a full tank (10-12 gallons)? Be careful, that can lean the sled out, even though it’s EFI. Hard on pistons…

My dad told me to add the whole bottle to the tank, which only has 6 gallons in it… it’s his sled, I will definitely let him know that and maybe fill the tank the rest of the way before running it more. What is your opinion on running it on the current heet/gas ratio just for a short easy test drive later? I already let it idle 10 minutes and drove it out of its spot…

you pretty much got told to dump the old gas
but you didnt listen just so you can keep up the conversation

those old *f-worders around you probably know more than the sperm donor your mom picked out

I was going to drain the old gas if it didn’t start easily today. And it started, so all is good. The current situation is because someone told me to add a bottle of heet to their sled and I did it. Now that’s his problem I will help him to resolve. I don’t think I had a sperm donor.

Just because it started, doesn’t mean it won’t melt the engine down. Old/bad fuel burns more snowmobiles down each winter, than any other issue. It’s basically running off of the alcohol from the Heet bottle. It obviously didn’t run on the fuel in the tank… and now with the 12oz or so of alcohol, it magically runs - what does that tell you? Drain the whole tank, fill it up full with FRESH from the pump 91 non-oxy gasoline, and then let it idle a while to purge the fuel system of the junk that’s in it now.
