Default Man and machine...

I flipped on the light switch, opened the garage door and pulled off the cover. Then I flipped on the ignition, set the choke and cranked her up. She came to life on the first crank too. What a day for this machine! I pushed her out of the garage and engaged the clutch. I could feel the power in my hands as I got ready to start...


BLOWING STINKING SNOW OFF MY DRIVEWAY!!!!


THIS STINKS!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

It was 70 degrees yeaterday, C'MON!!!

That blows. Stupid pun intended.

Sorry about the weather, Man. Cold here too, but at least no snow. Hang in there.

Move to Vegas: I cranked up three machines yesterday.... lawn mower, trimmer, blower.
It was 87 degrees... new record for that date.

But you can laugh at me when it 115 here and 85 there.[sm=laughat.gif]

It's 25* right now (2:40 in the afternoon). I was riding on Monday and Tuesday! Even took the wife for a short ride yesterday!

Oh well, Spring will be here soon!
