Evening gents. I picked up this snowf#cker on Facebook marketplace for $200 to get through the big storm. Needed a bit a fiddling but I got it working. Driveways are cleared and we were back to regularly scheduled programming today.

From the D Handle do I take it that it has a ported 288 as a powerplant?

Or just that you are a big fan of the D...😏

Good morning y’all.

Err yesterday was mostly taken up with adding things to the list to take with me.

The evening was then taken up with trying to fit all the things in my bags, and then thinking what I can do without 🤷‍♂️. Anyhow I,m almost finished.
It’s gonna be bedtime @20:30 this evening as I need to be up @03:00. Get to the airport by 06:00 etc.

When operating a snow chucker you almost always have to protect your hands with these things called mitts or gloves. A little T Handle would be near impossible…

When packing for holiday you will over pack by 25-35%, just ease back on a little of everything, except sunscreen. Pack all the sunscreen you can, resorts mark ir up 500% of more. What you don’t use can help pay for the vacay…

Got to 37°!

Did some scraping of the road today. Some of it ended up ok, some is still too frozen to do much good. I was once again very impressed with my wife’s Honda Pilot. In “snow” mode it is phenomenal on icy hills. Computer variable traction FTW.

Sunny to start today, but those clouds came in hard and the wind picked up.

Supposed to snow again Saturday 🤨

Howdy. A little more fuel bleeding seems to have fixed my tractor issues. Cranked it up around 2000 rpm and cracked each line for a minute. Kinda messy but that’s what it needed.

Growing tired of the cold and snow….ready for maple syrup season.
