@Popgadget - That is the same model I got. It is amazing how it cleans. I will have to try just plain water. So far I have used Dawn and Simple Green. I have had some nasty looking parts come out vastly better already
@RedNeckGeek - I noticed the discoloration on a magneto cover with Simple Green. But it needs polished and already started cleaning up nicely. Dawn does wonders on zinc carb parts

Rich, that's a hell of a story (your hospital visit)

Glad everything turned out reasonably well!!
Good morning!!!!
Good morning! A surprising 33˚F, south wind, heading to the upper 60s. edit - First frost, but only on the North side of the house. Wngsprd, your wife dodged two bullets in one day, whew. Here is another cha-ching product. As we get older we cannot afford to fall, we need to see all...

Ken, thank you. Let me make sure the parts are right first. Waiting for it to warm up out there, brrr.
off to nicer of the two local supermarkets for a change this morning and then to State store. Low on wine.
I suppose I should buy a bottle of vodka for my brother's infrequent visits. All I know is he doesn't like Stoli.
There is always some new designer vodka out there. I'll see what they have.
glad I have remote start on truck. Steering wheel heater turns on and heat warmers go to high. Rest of truck is still plenty cold
when I get in but at least it has warmed up a little. I haven't dealt with this for awhile as audi fit in garage, barely. Too bad it's such
a small garage. Plus I have my woodworking tools in there. But I have a extra long truck snow brush ready to go. Maybe it will be another light snow winter.
I hope so, since the fancy EFI Ariens snowblower wouldn't start on second try yesterday. I so wish I had bought a big electric model.

Drew-do you need to leave the Ariens plugged in for the internal battery to charge?
How do you keep it topped up for the fuel injector battery?
For Vodka-Stateside from Philly is pretty good. I mostly drink vodka, absolut is good to. Tito's is another one that I like.

If I were in your shoes, Drew...I'd sell the Ariens and get an EGO snowblower.
No gas to mess with, easy starting and environmentally friendly
I have an older model, not self-propelled and the plastic auger. I'd love one of the larger models such as I linked to.
I only have about 50 feet of sidewalk (about 24"-30" wide) and since my old EGO blower does such a good job, just can't see a good reason to replace it...
The one I have is good for up to 8" depending on how wet the snow is

25°F and partly cloudy this morning, going up to 52° today. Watched a very colorful sunrise in my rearview mirror on the way to work this morning.
Speaking of which, on my way to work yesterday morning, I hit a skunk about five miles from the house. The pickup truck in front of me hit it first, then it went under my car, sounding like it was trying to hit everything it could find under there. Naturally. All I saw was something dark, and didn't even realize what it was until about five seconds later, when my nose told me. I stopped in Highland at a car wash on the way home in the evening, one with a good bottom blaster, and when I got home I couldn't smell it, so I parked in the garage. Whoops. Wife got home later and told me that she parked outside because the garage reeked of skunk. I went out this morning and found that she was right. It was still quite strong when I pulled into the parking lot at work this morning, too. Guess I'll look under there when I get home to see if the fella hung himself up under there. I didn't see it on the road this morning, so ...
Good luck with your new electrician, Doug. We had to replace our electrician about halfway through the project when we remodeled our house. The guy would hardly ever show up, and it seemed we were always waiting for him to do something before we could move on to something else. He'd show up, work for about 45 minutes, then disappear. Even the carpenter who recommended him was getting frustrated with him. The new guy was there every day, on time, and worked all day. We ended up having him completely rewire the house to a new box once the basement was torn out.
Glad your wife is OK, wngsprd. My Wife went through a short spell of falling on the stairs about a year ago. The last time she did it, I walked over and helped her up, then picked up the floppy open-back house shoes and threw them in the trash can. She hasn't fallen again since then.
That's a good-looking grapple, Paul. Congrats. Count me as another one here who wishes I could justify buying one.

Ken, yes, I plugged in the oem charger for 24 hours charging whatever internal battery there is.
I turn ignition to on and fuel pump noise very erratic. It just doesn't sound right.
I'm going to try it one more time, still under warranty but annoying to pay 75 bucks for pickup and delivery because I can't drive it
up into truck.
Roy, you are right. I got seduced by EFI. Big lot of good it did me.
had to chuckle at State store. It's actually a very nice one at the back of our main shopping center here.
I'm in stocking up on wine, mostly to give away as I rarely drink alone. Then I'm thinking better get a bottle of champagne
as a house present to my brother's where I'm going New Years Eve. So I'm at the Yvez Cliquot (sp?) aisle with a 2 bottle maximum, one of those
fancy brands that are low inventory. At 65 dollars a bottle, it's a once a year present for me, particularly when I know I'll get to drink some of it.
But then this tony lady sashays up exclaiming, oh, they have it, so hard to get, and promptly grabs two bottles.
I honestly can't imagine drinking something that expensive regularly
I also found a small bottle of Five Saints craft vodka, made from Pennsylvania corn.
So I go to checkout and their software crashes and the credit card machine no longer works. And keeps displaying an interesting error
code on the display saying Unbolted. Is that an IT term???
I thankfully had enough cash left over from recent trip I was able to pay for all of it and have seven bucks left. Out I went
to a chorus of grumbling booze buyers.

67°F and .48 inches rain. Slept in until 7, but an abbreviated night.
Most important task of the day is a brewery run. Need to replenish a keg for TDay. Still need Lima beans for succotash.
Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I know nothing about Vodka, Drew, except they go into a Harvey Wallbanger, which brings back bad college memories. But one of my buddies is a real Vodka snob. But he's open minded as well, and was willing to try an ancient bottle I had here last time he visited. He was very pleasantly surprised, liked it as well as any he'd tried before, but I don't know how widely experienced he is. Anyway, the stuff is called Vodka Monopolowa, J. A. Baczewski, and he finished what I had...

What, whoever heard of a dump closed on Thanksgiving? Just don’t make 1 big pile out of 2 little piles. And watch out for officer Obie.
It’s time to play it.

Since having GBS I don’t trust my legs carrying stuff down stairs, so I do same thing. Go down backwards, hold on with 1 hand and drag things down.

33F and partly cloudy @ 12:30, heading up to a high of 36F for the day.
Looked out the master bedroom window a few minutes ago, big hawk was on the ground back at the hopper feeder with a squirrel. He flew off ... without the squirrel. Guess I startled him. Woman said he came back after that but flew off again without the squirrel when she looked. Hope he takes it eventually.
Got ready in plenty of time for the trip to get the booster yesterday. Even printed out my appointment info with the confirmation code after digging out my proof of vaccination cards. Knew the van was low on diesel, so swung by the big new BellStore down in Canal Fulton to put some in the tank. After that I headed off towards Canton for the appointment. Got better than halfway there and realized I had forgotten to grab my cards for the previous vaccinations. Driving back to the house it became apparent there was no way I was going to be able to make it back to pick up the cards and still make the appointment. Tried to call them and let them know I wasn't going to be able to make it but couldn't get through. So I consigned myself to having to make another appointment.
After that I took the Cub and various tools around back and worked on the new planting bed some. Got the leaves blown off with the Stihl BG56 and then raked the areas where we had planted bulbs so that it was smooth. Still have a little more work to do on that, probably tomorrow when it's warmer, calling for a high of 49F.
Ran over the leaves which were now on the lawn with the Cub and ground those up.
Recorded all the planting locations of the day lilies for labels.
Took down the old squirrel feeder and brought it in for a little tune up.
Took cleaned deer feeder out and put it up back at the back of the yard and put about a gallon of deer corn on the ground.
Took plants down into the basement where it's cooler, still need to get the bulbs taken down.
Noticed bucket on Kubota was rolled back and holding some water so I started it up and raised the loader and rolled the bucket forward so it would drain.
Headed up to shop to try and locate my red Dykem Brite-Mark paint pen to use for marking plant labels. Took around a 1/2 hour but I finally found it ... once I thought to look in the cup that hold the marking implements. Looks like the tip is probably going to be too wide though.
At that point my feet were pretty much frozen and it was getting dark so I came back on down to the house.
Wasn't long after that that The Woman called to let me know she was on her way home. We opted to go with take-out from the local Chinese place for dinner, which is right on the way, quick, and usually pretty good. I tried their Singapore Mei Fun for the first time (along with some Hot-n-Sour soup) and it was very good, will be ordering that one again.
Got a nice email back on the missing items on the plant order saying she would let the folks in the warehouse know and have them ship out the items asap ...
Agenda for today includes refilling the hopper feeder and running out to some papers notarized.
Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day.

Yes, interesting to read, not fun with bad nurses, I had my share of bad ones in the rehab center a couple yrs ago. But 1 or 2 very good nurses that were like angels.

Not looking too good on the shed, but such is my fate on this I think. Just plain doomed.
They didn't send the right lettered parts. Maybe they are interchangeable, I have no idea.
Going to try one more time to build it.
Got some xmas lights up, they all turned on, then sucked up leaves, and by time I was done
was very chilled and glad to get inside out of cold wind.
was bad and saw an awesome home made apple pie at store, and since I had been good with other
purchases, brought it home. Apples were a little crunchy. Back in oven it went, and shortly I'm sitting down with a piece
of warm apple pie and hot coffee and all will be right with the world.
I would love to sit in a recliner next to a wood stove right now.
