we're still handwringing over getting a new snowblower.
we went to look at new ones yesterday and can't make a decision if we should spend that much on something that's only used a couple times a year. mr. ts asked me again to try starting the one we have since he put some old race gas in it, (it's a leaded, oxegenated fuel and an opened can loses it's punch as race fuel after a couple weeks, so we use the leftovers for the gas powered tools. then yard work at least smells like we're at the track.) and after 4 or 5 pulls and not even a cough, he got it started on one pull. *shrug*. no idea what i'm doing wrong. |
I am thinking that my new year's resolution should be to not reply to any more idiotic postings in the 41.
Of course I could make an exception for "Addiction." |

I worked with small engines for a couple of years, and there is no determining whether they will start first pull, or 20th. That race fuel sounds divine. I love the sprint cars, and the methanol smell around the ovals is to die for. |

Another fun winter activity here in Central New York is crawling under the Jeep to break away the ice that has built up around the transfer case and front drive shaft.

20 x 25m laps of the pool at the gym this arvo, plus some spin bike, plus some rowing machine, plus some running. Not bad in the pool considering I started about a week ago at 4 laps before I made a B-line to the swirl pool.
I'm now thinking that if I can get the laps up to 30 non-stop, I might even give sprint tri a go when I get back to the Land of Aus. At least in the gym, I know I can run the 5k but slowly, and I think I can bike the 20k. |

When putting talcum powder in new tires, don't eat Christmas cookies covered with powdered sugar.
