I was guessing that the battery froze. You're right, may have been the starter. One thing was for sure, it was not a happy car. Neither was I!

We had a "pot luck" Thanksgiving lunch today at work. Our Commons area has seating both inside and out. We filled the outdoor tables; it was 77 degrees here today. It's supposed to be 29 degrees Saturday morning. Damn vortex.

Played golf today. Temp in the mid-60's, sunny, bit windy, but
gorgeous day.

Now no more golf for six weeks. That sucks!

Tooth implant this morning. So sitting in my family room, wood stove
going. Supposed to rain today and tomorrow. Nice out now, sunny and cold
65.

Today we're 20 degrees cooler. Have to blow leaves. Hate that job.

I bought the equivalent model of one of these three years ago.

Make the job relatively wuick and painless. However, I have over 2 acres, and most of it is covered with huge red oak trees. Lots of leaves! That model is overkill for a "normal" lot.

Leaves? IMO where they land is where they stay.

I have a couple Liquid Amber trees and Black Alder trees, beside the fruit
trees, so have to blow and vacuum the leaves. Especially in the back yard,
as they screw up the pool chemicals.

I just blow them off the grass into the natural areas, or what some might call the woods. :-)

We spend enough effort and money on the grass in the summer that it's worth the effort to take care of it in the winter.

Wish I could. They'd kill the grass I work so hard to keep nice.

I had a walk behind, but I traded it for a hand held... When I was
growing up we had 22 oaks and several white pines, all tucked in on one
half acre. Now we are down to two pines and 10 oaks. Unfortunately my
dad bought the downhill side of the street so every inch of it is
raking/blowing, up hill to the street. We do have pickup here in town,
no bags, just put the piles on the side of the road.
