A bit of guitar work and a mistake. I guess I fix it for free as it was my mistake. Oh well, I guess it makes things interesting….lol

I actually edited a video today. I have been sorely lacking in motivation lately. Pretty achey too after moving a bunch of snow for the first time this year.

Supposed to be a “historic” snow fall coming down today and over the next couple. Not sure what that means but I have an appointment to get the snow tires put on Friday. Which means driving today was a bit of an experience.

Another round with my neighbours snow thrower. I have the carb stripped off it again. By the looks of it I am not the first human in there. I looked online and there are brand new carbs for under $25 including shipping. I spoke with the guy and sent him the link, so a new carb is going on when it gets here.

Looks like a great working space, Will you build a ramp from the 8′ door? Is that a swing door or a garage door?

In the spring I am going to add a 8 ft wide deck along the back of the house so I will also be able to build in front of the garage door . Then landscape up to it in that area . The deck will be 8…

How about making this thread disappear? Seems there is not much in the way of putting ideas forward. It’s just turned into a gripe session.

Several hours of work on the snow blower. Still not running. I got it to the point where it will kick, but won’t start yet. More tearing apart agian. I am now thinking the carb needs more cleaning. Valves are adjusted better now, I think that helped and I did a minor cleaning of the carb. Now to do a more thorough job.

Haha yeah I woke up to a little less than that
You have to admit that it is beautiful for the first day or so. Then it’s just painstakingly long LoL

Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so that was actually a very long post.

It was a cool sunny morning. Got a bunch of running around done and as we were out the sky started turning grey. Now the snow is falling. Big gentle flakes. The lawn is covered in a layer of white right now. I still haven’t swapped spots for the mower and snow thrower yet, or serviced the thrower for the winter. I gotta get my butt in gear,…[Read more]

I got a couple of rough boards of cedar from my neighbour. Time to start milling it up. Hopefully better luck than last time. I don’t know if I’ll get at it today, got to go out on a short shopping excursion.

Personally, I took the post as something that was encouraging and totally independant of anything that went on previously. On that note, I liked it. I thought it was a positive message encouraging self moderation.

But that’s just how I took it.

We had 5 kids come to the door. We bought 15 full size chocolate bars to give out, so I am going to gain a bit of weight….again.

Well, my dimensioning of the cedar didn’t go as well as planned. Too many large defects in the wood to work around. Oh well, my neighbour has some left over so I will try again to get what I need after getting a board or two from him. Rona doesn’t stock it any more. I thought that was ridiculous.

The glide mitre made me happy to have it today. No lack of power there.
