Got the Sierra started but the charger I used overnight gave an error, probably a dead cell, and the money light is on with 3 codes for ABS issues. Could have been from the low voltage but I'm...
Let the EXT stretch its tires today. (I guess that's the equivalent of legs right?) Buddy got moved into his new house, and now that they live an hour and a half away, no more short notice...
On another note, I wanted to see if my sled would start. After two attempts, it did! Didn't want to ride it in this kind of cold (I'm too old for that!) but it's good to know she'll start even...
Yep!! Thats life to a T out here. Last year, early January, my TB did the same thing. Battery froze up. Charged it for hours, no dice. Brought the battery in for a couple days and charged it...
Yesterday, since it was pretty cold (-30c), worked on the drive issues on the snowblower. The friction wheel was fine however, this thing is equipped with some sort of clutch or limited slip...
Well I said fk it and put some miles on the newest sled. Wish my kids were here but they are scattered amongst the area with their friends. Had a blast as usual.
Got a HVAC guy out this morning. Woke up to 55° in the house. Blower motor is shot. He was able to change the speed to get it to work, but we are spending $755 to have a new motor installed...
Well Moose, glad the cold left us but obviously it found you. It was -36 before windchill Thursday morning. Its maybe -3 now. Got a busy weekend so doubtful ill get much sled time.
I changed...
Been riding the sled on the trails all week. Been good except today the winds were brutal. Wasn't cold, just -1c, but holy crap the snow drifts were nasty. And the wind would sometimes try to...
Trying to work. Got poor sleep again (up too late last night with too much to do, then the infant wasn't exactly letting us sleep tremendously well). Dragging. Funny how normal noises seem super...
Was only planning to measure my ladder up against the tree out back to see if I could reach those tip top branches easily, and make sure the ladder felt stable at that height. Was looking into...
Got like 2 hours of sleep Monday night so I ended up taking Tuesday off work because I was not functional. I did find out that Dorman makes a replacement part for busted Honda 4 cylinder cable...
Just surviving the "piercing cold" out this way. Worst ambient we saw was -24c but we did have some decent wind over the weekend that had a -36 windchill. Still, absolutely nothing out of the...
Getting adjusted again to having a newborn in the house, and not having a solid night's sleep. I'm dragging pretty good today.
I still have my brother-in-law's Element in the garage. Got the darn...
Yesterday, after a quick run to the grocery store after work, was back in the yard to break down the branches for disposal. Got the majority of them done before running out of daylight again...
I've been out of the midwest for 20 years now, if I was subjected to that kinda weather at this point, I would probably die in 5 minutes, even if I was bundled up head to toe 🤣
When I got home...
We got some cold weather coming after the rain and sleet tomorrow. The classic pinko news channel blames climate change for "piercing cold" we got coming.... we are going to hit -25 to -27 for a...
Yep, that sounds about right but modern sleds are better, albeit more complicated when they do break.
Went for a quick ride on the trails. A bit rough as we need more snow for proper grooming...
Not much on the go here. Hauled the skid steer out to my acreage to clear the driveway and yard.... got the truck and trailer stuck exiting the main road as the grader left a layer of semi packed...
Making sure all my vehicles are serviced up.. Looking at the miles, etc..
My Pontiac - I bought 3/14/2009 miles with 56028. It now has 132173 miles. Thats 76145 miles in 14 years, or 5438 miles a...
Got the secondary all cleaned up, well the moving parts and belt surfaces. I have it all together while waiting on the RTV to cure. But, seeing as I can't leave anything alone, I might rip it...
Cooking. Knocked out 5.5 lbs of chicken breasts in the air fryer for salads. Just got started on tomato relish, going to bottle (or can?) 2 gallons of pie and thinking about making ANZAC biscuits...
