Yeah, funny how that works Miles. Story of my life...buy a generator and the power stays on. Buy a snow blower and it doesn't snow. You're welcome.

In other news I get to try out my new Fluid Film gun tonight! Bought a gallon of the stuff at NAPA, we'll see how far it will go. Much cheaper by the gallon than by the 12-oz can.

Evening guys.

Tom that looks like the gun I have.
It does a great job.
I did 5 vehicles this fall and only used about 1 gal.
Just get yourself a Tyvek suit and an old knit hat.

Morning everyone.
Tom that snow blower looks fine. happy to hear that it's running. It ended up being a good deal.

So now that it's running I guess we won't get any more snow this year. LOL

Good morning everyone. Happy to see some warmer weather in the forecast. 55° is going to be nice on Saturday.

Too bad the warm weather on Saturday is accompanied by rain. Hopefully Sunday isn't a wash.

Hello CT from CT!!! So nice to be back here/out of NY!

I don't need 55*, the 32 right now feels like t-shirt weather compared to the past few days. If it does hit 55 I may take the bike out for a spin.

Evening CTers! I see fellow fluid film converts! I used it for the first time this year as well. Love the sprayer they sell. I found the best pattern around half a container. I think the extra air helped with the (fancy word of the day) atomization. Used it on the snow blower as well. Seems to do a good job. Didn't even clog in the slush storm a few weeks back.

Good evening everyone. Sure got chilly fast, went from 28° in Manchester to 16° when we got home. That's the downside of living up north in the hills.

I've been using Fluid Film for a few years now Wade. They used to be a site sponsor and gave out free cans a few years ago. The stuff works great and seems to last all winter. This is the first time I've used anything but the aerosol cans though, and THIS is the way to do it! The $90 kit is pricey, but the product comes much cheaper by the gallon and it's a really efficient way to apply it.

Amen on efficient! The plow guys here out it on a few times during the winter. Of course they also pressure wash with hot water after a storm. They cut it with veggie oil to make it last. Seems to work just as well for shorter periods.
