Finally got around to building a heater box for my snow thrower. With the mix of wildly varying temperatures, the beast can be hard to start without warming it up a bit. Picked up one of those little mag mount block heaters, turned out the Toro is aluminum block and the 200W just doesn't cut it. A 1500W forced air heater on the other hand works wonders, just needed an enclosure to keep it off the ground and dry.

I ALWAYS keep my snow thrower toasty warm.

And when its time to throw snow I just poke my head in the front door and yell ... "hey honey, c'mere!!"

Its good to keep your snow thrower warm and ready to go!

Dh bought a snow thrower with the electric start. No way in this lifetime I would be able to start one up by pulling the cord. I have to have the rototiller started by someone else.

Hey guys! Whaz up? More snow to shovel/blow. My goal for today is making it to the post office. Tomorrow I have to work. I hope I feel better by then.

Electric start is nice, but mine died, and I actually killed a replacement electric starter too :( I have to do a more detailed teardown this Spring, see what the heck froze up to kill that replacement unit. Manual starter is pretty fool proof.

Random question -- does anyone know if an Ikenvape 510 fusion mega carto works okay with a Smoktech DCT? I really want to try the 510 fusions, but am too lazy to put the longer tube on my M1A1, which is set for standard length 801 fusions.

I'm with you there. I have an electric start lawn mower but the battery is shot or something but it starts with one pull so no biggy. At least the self propelling works. Now if I could get someone to run it I'd be happy. After listening to T I went on his plan of retirees paradise. Now the hardest thing to figure out is which movie to watch or which eye to close first at naptime.

What in the world is a snow thrower? Whatever it is, I'm glad I didn't grow up with snow or I'm sure I would have been my Dad's snow thrower...

LOL, you got that right Feed!!!

I don't know exactly what it is ... maybe an attachment for their snowmobiles or something.

Kinda like we attach things to our 4wheelers.

Man, its been pretty warm today here in Texas, huh Feed?

Well I ventured out there for a good cause Sdh, but everything looked so different. I posted a link where I could, got caught up looking at pics of peoples PV's decorated all girly like, and realized I felt lost. Ya see, it's been forever since I've really ventured out of here. I think I've grown roots!!!

;) It's good to be home.

That's WONDERFUL news Fran!!

Mark, I saw your question about the 510 Fusions fitting in a DCT, but I have no idea, sorry. I'm still peeling labels off the old black label 801 Fusions that WoodsLady so generously gifted me!

It's snowing again here...someone please just put me outa my misery!!

Shd and Tracy, I've been reposting the petition link on my FB page every night. I post it to the public, but then I have to go back and change my settings to friends so my naughty posts don't go public :blush:

5'er, cute southern girl pic, but I never flew a Dixie flag ;) You and TT enjoy relaxing!

Hubby's heart doc says he's good!!
Good news FRan? Hey, can I ask a question? Ok, and thanks! Do they check his Vitamin d3 level. My dh cardiologists checked and said his level is low. So he started D3 supplementation. Now she increased it to 2000mg and he is getting adverse effects. Just curious if they do this test with all heart patients.

I know what you mean by venturing out. I only venture to a few threads here at ecf...its safer that way. :)
