Don't ask.... between hauling stupid boxes from the garage, then upstairs, then to the basement, plus shoveling snow, my back is killing me!
Sears only had one snowblower left, and it's a tiny one so I figured it would be a waste of money... found a couple more at Tractor Supply - a two stage, 206cc, 26 inch... that might be big enough.
No problems at all, had the beast out and about on Saturday for a while. Man I love driving that thing!
I wish I would have drove it into town today, I could have hauled the snow blower home.

I'm looking forward to seeing your truck in person! I know there are a lot of places down here that still have them, if you get a chance down this way. Just make sure you get a big enough one. If it's too small, it will drive you mad!!

Well, I have to run to a maintenance meeting for the next hour or so (oh joy for me) and then I'm sneaking on home. I'll catch you guys later.

KOOK OF THE DAY!!!!
on this day back in 1942, Henry Ford: patented his plastic car, which ran on ethanol; the plastic was soybean-based, and the car was unsuccessful.
The "Soybean Car" was actually a plastic-bodied car unveiled by Henry Ford on August 13, 1941 at Dearborn Days, an annual community festival.
The frame, made of tubular steel, had 14 plastic panels attached to it. The car weighed 2000 lbs., 1000 lbs. lighter than a steel car. The exact ingredients of the plastic panels are unknown because no record of the formula exists today. One article claims that they were made from a chemical formula that, among many other ingredients, included soybeans, wheat, hemp, flax and ramie; while the man who was instrumental in creating the car, Lowell E. Overly, claims it was "…soybean fiber in a phenolic resin with formaldehyde used in the impregnation"
And Happy Birthday Salmon P. Chase born on this day in 1808. (died:1873): Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court; his picture is on the $10,000 bill (who wouldn't know that, i spend them daily!)
