Can I borrow your snow plow...please?

We've got a little over a foot, and I just don't feel like shovelling.

I feel for you guys in this storm's path. Snow is a pain in the ass
and
more so the older you get. Forecast for our area has upped the
snowfall amounts but still not a "killer" storm. Probably get 10" or
so.




We have at least 12" in the yard, not counting drifts, and it is suppose
to continue snowing through most of today. The plow guy hopes to get to
us tomorrow evening or early Monday. I'd not in any rush to head out
anywhere, anyway. We are putting seed out on sheets of cardboard for the
birds and are getting a lot of colorful traffic in the backyard.

Wind picks up every so often.


I had just come in from picking up a bunch of ice melt at Lowe's and
then putting the plow back on the truck when our land line phone rang.
It rarely rings, so I thought it was unusual. Answered it and it was
a recorded message from the Town's Emergency Management Department.

The message was that the Black tie Bingo game at the town Senior Center
for this evening has been canceled due to the snowstorm.

That was it.

WTF? Does the town have a data base of every resident over the age of
65?

Cracked me up.


reverse 911.


Just came in from plowing. Discovered that my plow lights aren't
working. When you connect the plow's electrical connections and turn
on the plow power it is supposed to switch the headlight circuit from
the truck's regular headlights to the plow lights. It isn't switching
so when I lift the plow I can't see a damn thing. There's a box
somewhere with some relays in it that is part of the plow kit.
Probably a bad relay.

Too dark to really see what I was doing so I'll finish the cleanup work
tomorrow morning when I can see. At least we can get in and out if
necessary. Really dislike snow. Gets worse every year and a 975 foot
driveway full of curves doesn't make it any better.
