Random DIY mixing and More

Good morning, hitt. Hope you have a safe drive to and from work today.

Both ways weren’t great but coming home was worse since it has been snowing during the day. I was in the shop working about 3:45 when a guy comes in and says we’re closing early. I get off at 4 anyway so it really wasn’t any big favor to me.

Sometimes even that short a jump can get you in front of the mad rush.

LOL. Hello, David.

Glad you got to and from safely.

We got up to 6 today. I cleared the driveway when I got home. The snowblower was really hard to start when I got it out of the shed. I guess it doesn’t like the cold any more than I do. I finally gave up and gave it a shot of starting fluid and it took right off. I put a new primer on it last fall but it’s still being stubborn. I wish I had gotten an electric start model.

Maybe you can get an electric start one for next winter. Somebody want to buy the one you have.

The one I have is almost like new in appearance but it’s probably about 7 years old.

I had an electric start blower. Gave it away end of 23 to daughter's boyfriend in exchange for his help in getting us a riding mower. Blowers really aren't good on gravel driveways. No matter how careful you are they pick up gravel and throw it around at high speed.

I have a regular concrete driveway so don’t have to worry about gravel. I paid about 600 for the one I have. I looked online at electric start ones like I have and they are going for 750. I probably couldn’t get half of what I paid for mine if I sold it.

You should be able to get a good price for it then,

Depends how much you want one that starts easily.

Goodnight folks Sweet dreams.

Good morning. We have 1 degree heading to maybe 10 today. I’ll be so glad when this week is over.

I am also very tired of winter and wish it would just go away.

 

[FranC]

Good morning random folks. Have you any plans today?

Morning, mixers.

Really happy to be in the PNW, where they're now talking about mid 50s soon

Nope, rain isn't a problem.

It got down to 8⁰ last night. It's currently 11⁰ with a guess of 25⁰ for a high. There's a trace of snow but the roads are clear. I had to go to the hospital for labs this morning.
