I would love to see a video of you wrestling with that monster that you call a walk behind clearing that deep east coast snow that thing is bigger than some mounted snowblowers that I’ve had. Josh, I'll inform my camera woman, also known as my honey, of your request. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red144runner 657 #28 Posted January 5, 2018 Here's some clean up from today. Pushed a foot last night another 3" when I got done the overnight shift at school. As a side note, I had to leave the tractor and my little 5/21 toro outside last night. Pushed them into the drive before I lest at midnight. When I got home an noon temp was 9* and below 0 with a windchill. The throttle and choke were froze off and in idle. Fired up after 2 cranks (they were long) but stayed running at idle and no choke. I should have done a cold start video. The little toro started on the first pull full choke. Not bad for 22 and 34 years old 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red144runner 657 #31 Posted January 6, 2018 I guess I forgot to explain why. I was filling them both with gas yesterday in a rush with no funnel, spilt fuel all over. 9pm last night and the wife give me a nasty look saying she smells gas. So to quiet her they spent the night out. I hated doing it, I never leave anything outside. I cleaned them up and the smell is gone and the are back in the garage 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,462 #32 Posted January 6, 2018 Women are scent and color driven animals - it's something we have to live with. I've done some experiments over time - show her a picture of a car in a color she doesn't like, she'll call it ugly. Another picture of the same car in a color she likes - it's beautiful, go figure. Mine will never wear any of my gloves - even pairs that have never seen dirty hands or have been used to work on anything - they all "stink like gas" or something, even new pairs. A lot of my work clothes live out in the hall or in the basement due to some undetectable scent from years ago - they are not allowed in the house, or myself at times either. I will say - the worst I've ever pissed her off was her helping with an engine install in the old Samurai - she got some anti-seize on her hands, thought I'd never hear the end of that one. Same with gear oil - she refuses to run the bucket pump to fill drivetrain parts - I have to find someone else, she did it once and swore her hands smelled of the stuff for 2 weeks. I gave up a long time ago trying to change the female's natural programming - there are a few women that are mis-programmed that will dive into anything and never complain - they become Laborers or Welders. They are scorned by the larger population of "normal" women and are given some pretty derogatory nicknames as a result. Sarge 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
