    seafoam Mo

    Mo didn't you put the seafoam in the tank before you abandoned it for three months? Hate to ask, did you put seafoam in the specials' tank before you put it in the shed? Or is James going to have a busy spring?

      Thanks for that. apparently according to the weather man.
      Southern Ontario (where the SOXS hang out) is experiencing a winter storm driven by an Alberta Clipper and moist air moving up from TEXAS.

                Thank God my snow blower works Mo.

                      Well,storm here turned into a flop.thank God.We had about 5" of snow,locally ranged from 4"-8".Snowblower had an easy morning.Weather forcasters blamed it on the Green Mountains keeping storm east of us.Works for me.East coast got bombed thou.Hartford,CT. got over 30". My son's live in New Bedford,MA. and when we asked how much they got,the answer was "alot".That narrowed it down.

                            2 feet

                            Hi Wayne, about 2 feet was what we got here as well. In total I went out four times and blew out the driveway. The last time the snow was up to the top off the augers. I was trying to eat into a bank that blew around and over my garage and I broke the handle in half. Had to nurse it back to the shop and remove the handle. The thickness of the tubular metal is very small so I'll have to weld an insert into it then place the handle over that and weld again. Should hold it for awhile. Lucky I was almost done when it broke and no snow predicted for a few days.

                              Hey Mo, I just went out to start my emergency generator, and guess what. Apparently I forgot to put seafoam in the tank when I serviced it last summer. Friggin old age is getting to me. Next I'll be forgetting where I park my truck at the mall.
