I forgot to blow the driveway for my daughter and the kids, first thing I thought of this morning, went out before even fixing a coffee, -11, I didn't leave any skin exposed, even put goggles on. Snow blower chugged and died 2 or 3 times before running smooth, but at least I didn't have to pull more than once or twice for each start. Then I squeezed the handle for the blades and it just stalled out; they were frozen in place, I'll have to bring it inside and thaw it out, have had to do that a few times before over the years, snow melts and then freezes before it evaporates, locks them solid. Pita. So it was push a shovel down the drive for a footpath, and she got here just as I finished, stopped her in the street so they wouldn't have to get out in 4 or 5" of snow. Also avoid the packed car tracks the blower won't remove after I get it thawsed out. The truck's side I don't worry about unless it gets a lot deeper than that. Maybe 15 minutes outside and the jacket felt cold on my back, should have put my leather vest on, that really helps. Warmed up a lot when the sun came out, made it up to zero already.

Good morning Toakers! Cold here in Meechigan and slippery roads but not too much snow so far, Spending more time on my *** recuperating! The wife is forcing me to watch the gay decorating channel and the drunk cooking channel and the strange rangers and perverts by condos together channel and the ex tv stars with huge asses baking channel and oh yeah the manly women fixing up old mansions channel And the wrinkled rednecks screwin' with gators channel and drunk nitwits on excavators channel, and stoners rehabbing cabins channel. and the digging foertreasures in a swamp channel...Somebody just shoot me. Oh and the one she loves the most which makes me want to urp in my mouth, The twins in tight shirts pretending to be contractors channnel....

In the spirit of this isn't a motorcycle thread I will forgo the sidecar versus fighter plane pic and leave this one here -
