I'm hoping it will miss us all together but there is supposed to be a Colorado low passing through which will likely hit us..

It seems that the Colorado low affects Manitoba more than us. https://globalnews.ca/news/3892162/c...hern-manitoba/
Good night John.

My next round of shoveling is tomorrow, I need a path to the shop and gate so that I can take out the trash and get to one of the engine hoists. Inside the gate has been cleared once already but outside of the gate is 10 - 12" of virgin snow, my meter and a half snow banks are going to be 2 meters high again.

So I go to Auto Value because I need a C clip, of course I'm going to buy a variety pack but the staff won't show me where they're at as they would rather sell me 1 at .50c than see me buy a 300 piece variety pack for $10. Silly silly place.

Hi Perry, any chance of getting your hands on a snow blower? It sounds like you really need one.

I've got one of those small electric snow throwers that might get used tomorrow but in places like I've got to do with the snow level it'll probably be more of a pita than a useful tool.

I had a small electric shovel given to me but I found it easier just to shovel off my deck than to mess with it. I ended up giving it away.

This thing will work in the center part that needs to be cleared but will stretch out the snow bank and I'll have a 3' high wall of snow 3' deep and 18' long to shovel, I'd rather push the snow and toss it up on top of the snow bank thats there. Have to clear out the back of the truck, fix a come a long and rig up a engine hoist so that I can load this compressor.

Just priced out new carbs for the bike, new ones from the UK are $300cdn landed in my mailbox, cheaper than buying used on Ebay and not knowing if they'll work properly

Good morning folks.
That`s a lot of Perry! What size of compressor did you get? That`s a good deal on the carbs.
Good morning John, rain on top the snow doesn`t sound good.
