Yeah, I've had to blow snow for the old pooch living here too. She really hates cold.

We hit -13F last night, so she really didn't want to go out this morning!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr that would freeze.... Well you know

 

[Tweedledude]

Flathead V12??? Lincoln motor is a ford???

The old zephyr engine

 

[Tweedledude]

That is funny

Yes it is ...

 

[Tweedledude]

So the pneumonia must be going around. Got a call from the kids last night that my mother was going to the hospital. We had EMS come do an evaluation and we all decided she neeeded to go in. Sure enough her o2 levels were low and chest X-rays confirmed pneumonia. The nurse told us it has been a bad year for flu and pneumonia. So, didn’t make it to work as I was in the ER till 2 a.m. They finally got her a room though. Everyone have a great day. Stay healthy and warm.

BAMZ…

Good almost afternoon, Spoonies!
Hope the day isn't too rough on everyone.
Still short-staffed here at work due to illness.
So glad I work from home!!

Thanks a ton for everyone that suggested it. I had no idea it was an option. They knew exactly why I was calling and what to do about. Now we just have to reschedule. Soon I hope.

Sorry the appointment needs to be pushed out, but happy to hear you connected with mom's care team and they are on board. The sooner she gets evaluated the better chance to employ today's medication options. Hopefully they can assist with connecting you with some home service resources, too.

I spoke up to get their attention

I've asked total strangers which pump when out of town. I'm used to my local pumps and labeling. Some areas in border states have a few stations that use very different colors/labels. I know to ask before I pump. A few times I've left and tried a different gas station since most stops on the Interstate have more than one option.

I can relate. Woke to -7 and immediately thought, "I'll shower after work, once it warms up some."

Yeah, it's pretty. But you sure wouldn't want to get stuck out there! Waist deep snow, below zero...

It's amazing to play in for about an hour (depending on how far below zero)... after that, it's better to look at through the window.

CDC saying flu numbers highest in 15 years
glad your mother is getting care
this year has been tough for viruses

They "did an update"

The Skidoo Expo would get around just fine in that.

Yes. A modern V8 pushrod engine with displacement and a cast iron block. And NO turbo!
Although it does have variable valve timing bull crap.

Not that I can complain about the later gen coyote 5.0 engines. Those sip fuel while still delivering HP, but LOTS of complexity there.

Yeah, that would do it around here.

This is my preference: https://atvtracks.net/track-systems
Much slower, and much more just poking around the back woods type fun.
And it will brute force drag a trailer with tires full of firewood out of the woods too.

Too wide for many of the places I like to go here. The Expo with the 900 Ace drags a sled of firewood just fine. And sometimes it's nice to quietly run at 30-40 mph over untracked open country.

Made great time from Hartford. Three hours.

Somehow I didn’t hit much traffic thru Waterbury, Danbury. Just a little bit around the tappan zee bridge.

Good to be back home.

 

[Wonderer67]

But I'll tell you, hanging drywall or doing work in a new building is so much nicer! Owned a 1880's house, and a new house. Everything is straight, level, flat and plum when you work on anything in a new house!

The only thing straight on our old stone mill are the corners.

You could put a marble on one side of it and it’d roll the other side.

I love bacon

Kevin or Roger?

Oh geez. I hope she’s doing better HDH. Pneumonia is no joke.

I can't join a teams meeting..... wtf.....

Fuck Microsoft and their shitty products.

Porky pig bacon... their 3rd cousin once removed

Just look at it for a minute or two. If it winks, put it back.

Wife just said she saw -20F at the bottom of the hill on her drive to work this morning. Twas chilly.

Good day. Cold and rainy. My new super I was with today submitted. Looks like I'll be his boss and the boss of the other jobs in the area. Funny thing is, I had no idea, and I'm too fucking humble to have assumed that I'd get pushed into it. However, I'm not so fucking humble not to say that I think they have made a damned fine selection. Now, to attend this big planning meeting at Teh Office and get my marching orders.


Funny way to get information, but it could be so much worserer.


Off to read.

Too wide for many of the places I like to go here. The Expo with the 900 Ace drags a sled of firewood just fine. And sometimes it's nice to quietly run at 30-40 mph over untracked open country.

I'll measure her width next time I'm in the garage. I'm sure it wider than the sled, but it's still surprisingly narrow.

I don't have a sled for firewood. I literally just drag the trailer with wheels through the snow. Just pull hard! It'll move.
