Did you use that heat cord stuff this year?

 

I made one of the rake slides last year, the thing works killer! I'll use it tomorrow.

 

I lost power from about 5:30 to 8:30 tonight. The annoying part is the house across the street is on a different grid and had power.

I like the idea of adding heat cable, just need to look into it more. I desperately need new gutters.

I'm loving my new snowblower. It handled this heavy stuff with ease. I have a holder for the truck which should work well, for the short distances I will carry it.

Sad to hear about Dave Mirra. My friends met him at the Northeast Forest Rally and said he was a super nice guy and asked them to play pool after the race.

 

Nah, thought about it but didn't. I ended up having the back reshingled due to leakage ugh.

 

I don't know much about them but supposedly the heated ones are better than the cable. And yeah my blower worked okay but for the chute clogging.

Suicide is what I heard though it's speculated that maybe concussions through his life/career might have caused him issues. Sucks..

 

We lost power last night also but I didn't bother with the generator until this am.

 

I used it last year on all the gutters and it seeded to cause more of an issue. I had it run up one spout to get to the roof and then just looped it partway down the others and it just created a swimming pool in the gutters and (imo) assisted in creating bigger ice dams. I took it all out this year

 

I am extremely happy with my new snowblower. It never skipped a beat or plugged up with this crap. Throws like a bastard, I can throw from the edge of the drive, over the drive, the grass and into the side yard behind a fence

 

What kind did you get? I got a new toro at the end of last season and the sludge from the plows still clogged it up yesterday.

 

Only 10" or so!

 

My brother in law got the same one, that things a beast! I like how you can see the blue flames out the exhaust at night. That one definitely puts mine to shame!

 

I got it this past June or July online and delivered to my garage door with no tax. I figure it will be the last one I buy

 

OMG I just saw there is a snowblower forum. Lol

BTW just so everyone knows, I'm not going to join it

 

Why wouldn't there be? I'm not surprised

 

We lost power at 10:30 AM and my wife was home with both boys. I ran the generator for about 45 minutes when I got home at 3 and again at 7:30 just to get the house warm. Power came back around 1 AM.

 

Lol yea Or you will put beadlocks a crawler and remote control on it.

 

I dropped my truck off at Bernardi this morning, needle bearing TSB getting done today. They had the truck for 5 hours just trying to confirm that it needed it done last week, wonder how long it will take to actually fix?

 

So I picked up an Ash Vac at job lot for my pellet stove. It's awesome I don't know why I never got one sooner. I had been using a RIDGID shop vac but it would fill the air with dust and that is obviously less than ideal. Love this thing no ash blowing past the filter and I can suck stuff up while it's still hot. Highly recommended for anyone with a pellet stove.

 

I got a Simplicity 24 before last winter. Love it
