pete- check for debris in the needle valve that the float operates.

It was just enough snow to make me want to bring home the snowblower just in case it got heavier overnight. If I was a betting man I'd say the "snow" will probably be all gone by this afternoon.

That video ought to be titled "how not to pull a stuck car"

If they had a PSD they would've been able to drag it outta the snow without jerking the strap.

Unless it was my PSD with 10" tires which don't grip worth a crap in snow.

I've got a set of front end weights off a newer Ford tractor and I need to figure out a way to secure them in my truck bed. Ordinarily I'd just get a chain and chain them right in there but my truck bed has nowhere to hook a chain and nowhere I consider strong enough to mount a D ring.

Sorry for the double post but here's the requested pics of my new tints now that they're clean.





Yes that is the cursed gas-leaking snowblower in the bed of my truck.

The only thing I have ever seen better than that was this clip. Brace yourself when the 2 minute mark comes around. I cringe ever time.
