1.4” of rain. Looks like it’s about done here. Temps keep dropping, 36° now. Will get icy tonight, think I’ll bug out a little early.
Good morning!!!!

Got in from my second round of snow work. Didn't measure any depths, but there was enough new accumulation to give the snow blowers a workout...probably need to get another 5 gallons of diesel tomorrow.
Still snowing, by the way...I'm not expecting any appreciable accumulation though.
Reckon I'm done for the day...

I haven't even started the tractor, chipped the frozen mix off the garage doors so I could open them looked around and walked back inside.
My wife worked from home today so neither of us had to go out and it's still snowing and blowing around. Looks like we have only gotten 3" on top of the frozen mess.

20F still snow couple more inches we'll hit 15" mark...storm ending 8-9 pm.,hard to shovel.
Darn glad I decided to do rough plowing with the pickup but the only problem once the plow snow settle like cement
Kubota push tall snow banks like hot knife thru butter and now that whole lot of extra room ready for Buppies prediction.
Going to quite evening hot meal have hankering for beans hotdogs with brown bread than feet up.
Enjoy your evening all.

Looks like we got mostly powder...fairly easy to shovel or blow...downside, of course, is the reduced visibility when blowing snow...and, yes, it's still snowing...finally appears to be tapering off20F still snow couple more inches we'll hit 15" mark...storm ending 8-9 pm.,hard to shovel.

Got snow and ice somewhat cleared today. Mainly I took the snow off the top of the ice. The bottom layer is hard and has a very rough surface to it, so traction is good. The 4” - 5” of powder on top is moved. The sidewalk to the garage is clear. The several Light salt treatments during the worst of the ice storm had that loose and was able to clear the walk with the snow blower and shovel.
Thought I was having trouble with the freshly rebuilt ground drive of the snow blower. Finally figured out the shudder I was getting when engaging the drive was the tires spinning.

Not too bad on the rod journal, considering the old oil was a cross between La brea tar pit mixed with a thick chocolate fudge shake.
It had a bunch of blow by during a leak down test, out the dipstick tube at TDC. This K301 model has a decompression system that doesn't allow standard compression checking. The top ring has about a .020" ring end gap, but the middle ring has about .040" ring end gap. New REG should be about .010/.020" Not sure about ring side clearance yet.
I haven't measured the piston yet, and it shows some wear on the 6 o'clock 12 o'clock sides, so it is suspect too.

Have you come up with a solution for the generator adapter?
Once you have the crank out, it would be fairly easy to face the flywheel end of the crank, and drill ant tap it for a bolt to retain the flywheel if you have access to a lathe.

Gas prices shot up again.
Going to post early tonight.
Next state is Delaware. When I was in college, one of my friends family invited me to go with them on vacation to rehoboth beach. On the way, I remember arriving in Frederick md and missing the turn to I270, so I quickly looked at the map and said, just take the next exit, you can cut across and catch it. I never dreamed I would end up living here, and ironically tonight I drove that same route, only to go to Lowe’s. Amazing the foreshadowing that happens in life.
At night we would play beach volleyball.
We also met some girls, and I kept in touch with one of them. When I moved to MD a couple yrs later, I contacted her. She lived near Wilmington DE, but her family owned some rental cabins at Rehoboth. I visited her a few times, until I met someone who would become my wife, and that was that.
