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.

I'm so glad I'm single! My youtube channels show motorcycles, purty girls on motorcycles in remote parts of the world, woodturning, purty girls woodturning, fishing, purty nearly nekkid girls fishing, airplanes, purty girls flying into remote lakes (seaplanes, of course), guns (lotta purty girls doing videos with guns, some booby shaking on full auto ), hot cars with hot wimen, singing (best voice and one of the purtiest - Jackie Evancho, the grown up version, not when she was a 10 year old opera star, really nice to look at in "Burn"), and nekkid yoga - but not the ones with guys, although plenty are listed, no thanks. Oh, almost forgot, cooking videos. Some of those rather large old ladies sure know how to do that! Probably not the ones on the drunk cooking channel.

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

Denny, there is an old joke about getting any kind of medical treatment. If you can't play the piano (instrument of choice) ask the Doc....Will I be able to play the piano when you're done? The Doc answers...Of course....you then say....Good, because I couldn't before.

Rimshot, don't forget to tip your server, try the veal, we have a matinee on Tuesday and I'll be here all week.
