I dropped my TR6 off on Weds at my buddy Erik's (Her Majesty's Service) new location to have an oil leak checked and a few things done that were much better suited to a lift than me doing them on my back. My wife called me in CT yesterday and said you better get home early, it's going to snow tonight.

We got about 4-5 inches overnight. The TR6 is safely tucked away in the garage, awaiting better weather and NO SALT!
 
Todd, my wife just told me that after I was so happy with my melted deck and driveway. The plow guy will be here early again.....welcome back to reality.
 
What is this mystical "snow" you speak of?
 
It is a form of slightly hardened water, not quite yet hard ice, but nearly there. It lies in waiting as a blanket, or when pushed in piles, light at first to the touch of a shovel, but it becomes heavier as the day goes on and it melts down. Yes, it can be melting and still be a solid!! Truly mystical, isn't it?

And it directly affects the moods of those around it. From extreme joy in children to anger and misery in adults.

Yes, it truly is a magical and mystical creation................

And Don, speaking of reality, I thought you might enjoy the latest addition that was installed while I had it up in the air. You can't see the two new RED Hella horns, which sound like a giant Kenworth, but you can see this:

Properly winterized and stored mine last weekend. Probably the latest I have done so in 11 years. It was still mild and I was regretting doing it at the time. But now I am glad with 4" to 6" on the way.

Always a sad task but, you also can't beat the excitement of hearing that engine fire up in early April. Closest thing I have to Christmas these days.

Next two months will be planning, reading and researching my projects for next season.

Don, I've lost so many of those, I'm going backwards.

Yes, but we're southerners compared to you "Live Free or Die" guys.
 
It's fun to live on the edge and we have our liquor stores right on the interstates,too. I Az. they say it's a dry heat. Up here,it's usually a dry snow.
 
John, we like your low price, tax free stores too!!!
 
We got about 5" this morning and I shoveled that away, now another 2" or more is on the ground. I'll let my plow guy do that when he does the driveway.
 
I got close to a foot down here by the canal. Fired up the snowblower and threw it in gear yesterday.... Nothing happened. Must have screwed something up doing routine maintenance on it last fall. Drop the belly pan to find the woodruff key on the rear axle to drive clutch missing. Off to tractor supply for a new one. Got home after dark so now it's out to the garage at 6AM to put this bad larry back together. Had to get up at 5 to clean off the truck for the wife. No way she was getting out of the driveway in her Mazda so she had to take the 4X4 F350. She wasn't happy about driving the behemoth, but I told her guys dig chicks that drive big trucks and that put a smile on her face as she headed out the door with a hot cocoa in her hand.
 
That's good news that Erik has moved to the new location. I didn't know that he had moved. When I last talked to him last Sep. at the CCBCC Legends show he hadn't moved yet. Now he's a lot closer and easier to get to. Just a little over 11 miles from my house.
