I have one more stoking of the stove them i gotta get out and make a few trips to the wood shed. Fun times, i turned on the electric last night, first time in a month or so. Its 72 in the house this morning. THe best thing about snow storms is that it insulates the house nicely.

Everything is better on the rocks.

Mine has a friction plate, I haven't replaced it but it appears to be a relatively painless procedure to change, when I'll need to. Hopefully after I move to a snow free zone

Not sayin you should do it. whatever you're comfortable with. I have been get more comfy doing my own stuff these days, so thats my choice unless it's like a internal engine component, then I'll look for help, until I learn how to do that stuff too.

A buddy of mine who lives about a mile away and is terribly disabled was yakking about his 19 yr. old sat inside and watched him do all the shoveling during the storm. He just signed for a car for the kid. Thats was kind of bothering him at coffee this morning.

Guys are kind of on hold. Everything is done except for windows and siding. it has been too cold and snowy to side. They were actually willing to do it and did the Tyvec and corners but I told them to wait until the weather breaks a bit.

No boat, back in the suds.
