    Good morning everyone :hattip:

    It’s Spring, so of course it’s gonna snow this weekend. It’s debatable if it will be a shovelable amount. Time’ll tell.

    I hope you have a good day.

    It seems like the bolt’s just about to strip right when the gif resets.
    That little extra oomph makes me cringe :rofl:

    They’re so nice and shiney!

    I was thinking of doing a bit of restoration on my 15 year old, all metal cause-they-don’t-make-‘em-like-they-used-to, HS928.

    1 ugga-dugga or 2? And what is the ratio of ugga-dugga’s to beans?

    Because in this application, one probably shouldn’t give all the beans.

    The amount of beans given is directly proportional to the size of the socket driver used to give said beans.

    I'm wrapping up the worst game of spot the differences* ever. Partial building renovations suck.

    upload_2023-3-24_9-37-15.jpg

    *and then update the differences on the left onto the rest of the floor plan on the right.

    I decided it was Spring - took the 200 pounds of salt, spreader and 3 shovels out of the daily van for the season.

    I'll keep the studded snow tires on for another week or so:
    1) It will now be mud season
    2) They don't need to be off until April 15
    3) Seems like a lot of work to change them...

    We only have 3 seasons here in my little backwater : Snow, mud & dust...
