Winter Storm Octavia

[Sam Mac]

The weather guesser is calling for 6" plus my area out of this one so I broke down and put the chains on my snow weapon. All fueled up and ready to go sitting in the garage. Bring it.

Yeah I know it's not a Cub but it gets the job done fast and I'm not a big fan of this kind of seat time.

You look ready! They are calling for the same here Sam. I need to raise my blower up a little. The gravel I spread a week ago wasn't in the equation when I put the "training" wheels on. That stuff was too expensive to blow or plow it off the driveway.

I hear ya Sam.

I come home from Chicago where it was snow galore.... I hear late afternoon yesterday that we are supposed to get snow. I was like "Pppppppbbbbbtttt... whatever! We haven't gotten any that was forecasted. We aren't going to get any now!!" Well...... I was wrong. 6" on the ground now and still falling. I have NOTHING truly ready for removal here in town. At home the 1050 is sitting with the blade on in wait. But not in town. Gonna go throw a carb kit in the Lo-Boy and maybe put a new coil on. It started giving me fits just before I left so I ordered the parts. Fun fun.

We got 1/2 inch of ice with sleet on top. I stayed home. Folks drive crazy.

Get the bread and milk.

I bet it'd be nice to have a QA42A ready for the fight!

And if you're wondering, I've already paid for that comment. This is how my morning started. 1 year old truck battery DEAD. Had to fire up the 1864 from a cold sleep to jump the truck. I hate starting them from such a cold for 5 minutes of work but how else was I going to make it to work

Nice rig there Sam, you've got things covered now!

Was looking at the weather map and it appears that all this bad weather is south of my place...good luck to everyone in the storms path!

[Yosemite Sam]

I just came in from cleaning the drive. Betsy said we got 7", I think it's more like 5 but whatever.

I got about 3-1/2 hours of seat time on the 149 that I got from Darrell this past summer, I had a great time.

The snow thrower tractor is at the other place in Belleville, I hear we only got a couple of inches there.

So now that I have had my winter fun, I'm ready to start tilling.

I do feel for those of you in the north east, I really wouldn't want that much snow.

Well that's a first, normally it's the tractor that needs a jump. Let me guess the truck battery is going to be returned.

First flurries coming down here in Nokesville. Time to go get my bread, milk, and TP!
