Gooch can hook you up with some tubing for that nifty out the ass effect...
My snow blower's a Craftsman and...
Oops, wrong thread.

Lol

Gooch · 11-23-2004, 08:37 PM

Got the new plug in mine, a full tank of gas and nearly 2 quarts of fresh 5w30 Castrol..still waiting on the $14 halogen bulb so i can find my way around in the dark though... and I haven't got the cab put on yet.. course I haven't put the windsheild on the bike yet either lol. hmmmmmm ..... I'm thinking here of maybe swapping the 2 around lol..

Snowblower in November? Screw that.It only snows a couple times a year here.But it does rain everyday,and you dont see the sun for weeks.

11-24-2004, 03:12 AM

Oh man that would wear on me T2, thanks for showing me a different way to look at snow.

Gooch · 11-24-2004, 06:41 AM

Yep.... I must be solar powered... the longer it's gloomy the darker I get.

Time2Surrender · 11-24-2004, 07:20 AM

A lot of people cant handle it here.Gray winters.Rain everyday.High suicide rates.But the spring,summer and falls make up for it.And it is also really green and beautiful here.I think it all balances out no matter where some one is.I was born and raised in Texas,and have lived all over the US and found good and bad things everywhere I went.Couldnt really say one place was better than the other.Allthough I been up here over 8 yrs and love it.This is home now.

I just got a job offer in South-West Florida.

Definatley a different and more appealing climate.

I dunno about that hurricane thing though....

Give and take. Good and bad.

NOD · 11-24-2004, 05:18 PM

I'll take New England anytime..........if you don't like the weather, wait a minute....it'll change!

Actually I really enjoy the change of seasons.

I lived in Florida for a while.Florida is cool.Low wages though.Its a right to work state.Never went through any hurricanes though.Definatly a differnent climate than Michigan.I like the four seasons myself.You wouldnt need your snow blower anymore.

Cool...
The snowplow just made it's first pass of the season...
The ol' end of the driveway clog-o-rama...
What's the title of this thread again?
Oh yeah... Yippee.

Man can I relate to that, being that I live in the last house on a dead end street. The plow truck pushes it all down the street up to my house, where he can't turn around, then backs up all the way back up the street.

Suprise! Igloo's in front of my house.

Snow removal was never considered when we bought this house, it will be on the next though, unless we move to Florida.

(maybe we could re-name this thread: psshhh!)

Dan · 11-27-2004, 01:28 PM

It's a good thing I got the tubing Gooch sent all hooked up.
Talk about a Full Moon snow blowing evening ahead

Gooch · 11-28-2004, 01:48 PM

My halogen bulbs showed up Friday.. I ordered an extra one just in case but think the old one may ave just been done in by vibration. You would think they would have used agasket or something to dampen the rattle around the lamp housing. Oh well I'm pretty good making at cardboard silicone gaskets lol

NOD · 11-28-2004, 06:49 PM

watching the leaves fall

Hey Gooch, the leaves have fallen.......in fact they're all in MY BACKYARD!

Wanna join my raking party?? Plenty of Barques root beer and I can fire up the grille one last time, before I put it in the garage and use it for a heater.

Gooch · 11-28-2004, 08:29 PM

see I never get around to all those little seasonal details....

Raking? I just run the mower around and shred them up into little pieces and then the wind comes ripping and blows them all into the woods down by the pond..

I love Barques... lemme get the ramps out and load the mower...

Dan · 04-24-2005, 08:00 AM

Ahem...
It snowed overnight.
It's still snowing.
It's going to snow some more.

04-24-2005, 08:06 AM

Man, last weekend when it was 80 something I put my snow blower away for the summer, I also planted a bunch of flowers around the house.

Its been snowing here since yesterday, and is supposed to continue until late tonight.

I'm having a little trouble accepting summer was only 5 days.

Dan · 04-24-2005, 08:15 AM

I blame it on Gooch.

pedagogue · 04-25-2005, 10:52 AM

I would love some snow right now. I"m not complaining about the weather (80's), but I miss the snow!!

There's more coming this week.
I'll Fed Ex you some okay...

We also have a special on ice pellets.
Offer ends Wednesday though.

Gooch · 04-25-2005, 11:54 AM

I would love for you to have some too......

as long as it and the cold air (blowing up your pantlegs and down your neck) needed to properly enjoy it are at least 1200 miles away from the balmy 70's that I prefer.

pedagogue · 04-25-2005, 02:09 PM

If it ever snowed down here in S. FL...the people would flood the streets and loot the towns for fear that the world is ending!

I remember in Nov. or Dec. it dropped to 48 and they had "Winter Blast 2004" on the 10pm news!

I had a professor that told a story about when he was going to school. It was a tradition of the vocational tech instructors to 'give the business' to the incoming students. One of the favorite requests of the vo-tech instructors was to ask a student to across the school and get a bucket of steam....
