%#@*ing snow
« on: Jan 29, 2015, 05:28 PM »
anyone else too lame to fish after shoveling???? without a fishing caddy I think my season is kaput. There is a tourney I promised my daughter could fish  in a week than the  "Lake Champlain adventure" and I can barely get out of bed   :'(

I did snow removal for 9 hours yesterday and fished in the deep snow for 8 hours today. I feel like I got hit by a truck

I got my paws on a snowblower with a varnish siezed engine 5 years ago.   Figured if I could get it running, I could at least see if the thing was going to be a necessity as age crept up.  4 days into a pb blaster soak I got the piston moving.   A new gasket for the top end and a thorough carb effort and she fired up.  I'll never be without one again.

40.00 bucks for a used Toro electric snow blower 4 years ago and it is still going strong! No hassle, I just plug it in and go!

Toughen up soft lad. The snow is going to fall, prep yourself or move to a warmer climate.  @)

... I shoveled concrete for a living (not a driveway twice a year.....) until a broken spine and 2 back surgeries  did me in. (plus a fractured wrist 4 weeks ago) The snow won this round big time.
glad your were able to clear your driveway and no way could I move away from New England!
