Good night Tracy and thanks for the pics !! That gal can gobble, gobble anytime ! and I aint no pilgrim !!

 

Looks like I'm going to go get a new snowblower tomorrow. An Ariens Path Pro, single stage, 208cc.

 

Craig ! Mick piqued my curiosity and damn I learned something new as well !

 

Ariens is the only way to go ! WI made and orange and black I got the 28" model with the heated grips etc top of the line and it sure is nice and blows the sand 30 feet !

 

Yep, Harley orange doesn't hurt!! They are made about 20 miles from me.

Since this is a single stage, it's a not frills blower. But I just have a driveway, and it'll still throw the snow about 30'.

And a single stage is faster - I can get done before the guy down the rode gets his 2-stage started and out of the grudge.

 

Nothing but respect for you guys but I hope I never have to learn a damned thing about snow blowers and their operation.

 

You guys have been busy today!

That's an interior shot of the DEA's airplane that I am working on and little bit of what I do. What you're seeing on the double screen is the ability to display all of the sensors at once, VIC video in Command, Video in Command with street overlays, Infra-red and electro optical.

I don't know what those people do while out flying....

Commando is always in style!

 

A few times I've caught myself thinking of the extra costs of living in the north. I have SEVERAL different winter-style coats (werk, casual, hunting, etc), I have to store my summer belongings somewhere (for extra $ of course), 4 wheel drive vehicles, snow tires, new vehicles because rust eats ours by 10-12 years, and of course snow blowers! There's $500 just for the right to clear my driveway.

 

I'd have a heated driveway and sidewalk if I lived up there...

 

And just in case you secretly want to learn:
