    The light on mine died but the handwarmers still work LOL. Thought it was just a gimmick at first. Gets below zero they are a hell of a lot more than a gimmick. I can live without the light have plenty of headlamps from hunting.

    Pack her up in the truck and head West. Timing should be just about right for you to try it out in a foot of new snow and a nice quarter inch of ice base by the time you get here.

    Think I could go for a nap.

    I have hand warmers on my machine. They make my hands cold. How? Turn them on and they get warm enough to make my hands sweat. Then the gloves are wet and get cold.

    Alrighty then. So, I got my self a little irritated today with what all has been going on here letely and said screw it if the idiot Doc is releasing me to go back to do shit I don't want to do then by God it's good enough to play as well. I blew leaves most all day then said screw it and got a bow out. Almost 2 years without touching one so I started with the indoor bow with no stabalizers and lowered the weight to 40 lbs and shot for a bit at 20 yards.

    Elite Victory is my indoor competition bow


    20 yard group and shot this consistenly until I blew a nock off 1 of the arrows


    I got a little braver and pulled out the Matthews Wake my hunting bow at 60lbs I only shot it 3 times didn't want to push it



    Form sucks and shaking like a dog shitting razor blades but I shot

    Nice day out today. Got up to 48F this afternoon. I walked 6 laps around the neighborhood for a 2 mile walk. While I was out, these flew overhead very, very low.

    So you want me to head your way. Try out my new blower at your house. And then while I do that you take a nap?
    I have words for crap like that.

    Big blower on tractor
    2 mtd that are going because all drive parts were used up.
    Backup cub cadet that may go by by if I get my boys toro with a blown engine. I’ll do some motor swaps
    So swapping backup for another better framed backup.
    Then the new ariens.

    Ariens used to be nice equipment we don't see them much around here anymore. Are they still Ariens and a good product or did they sell out to White or MTD like Troybuilt did?

    To be honest I really don’t know.
    I looked for the thickest framed unit which was ariens and toro.
    The cub cadet rusted out in 5years. So that’s why I haven’t tried to do anything with it. As long as it runs and throws snow it serves the backup roll. So nice if it goes down I just start up another and finish. No shoveling and no wasted time in the am to get to work. No stress...
    My mtd’s are 25 years old.
