Good mornin I pushed the snow off the back roof this morning.It was over 2 foot in places where the snow drifted.The sewer vent was almost covered.I did not feel good with more snow coming tonight.

All of the local weather people have different opinions on how much snow we will get.The call is anywhere from 4" to 12" depending on the storm track.

jonp It sounds like lunch is on you,you have the big sale of the week.

Good Morning U'alls! Busy day yesterday fixing the APU on the truck. I knew I had a fuel leak that needed looking at, I didn't know by time the day was over I'd have to replace every dang fuel line on it! Nor that everyone in town seemed to be out of fuel hose in the size I needed. What a PITA. Lot of work considering I sold it "as is where is".

Kinda missing out on all the snow action here. I used to dig out and then go shovel out two old-widow neighbor ladies who lived on my street. I used to park just inside where the plow would push so just needed to dig out the plow's crap and hit the road. Better than doing the whole lane before work.

I got on youtube and searched "2/6/2019 snow" the other day and had fun seeing just what conditions are like. 90% of the films included the family mutt romping around.

nomads - you mentioned that show "Pickers", just saw it once last week. Looks like some fun places to root around. come on again tonight..

Hi nomads
Our street/road is a fairly busy cut-thru for two other roads.
One good thing, the plows usually come thru many times during a storm.
Bad thing is blocking driveways after folks have cleaned them.

Jersey: it is pretty common to see central AC units stolen from commercial buildings or any place where the thieves can get in unnoticed. Down here the game was to steal the old AC unit for the copper, wait for it to be replaced, then they would steal the new unit and sell it as a new "discounted" AC unit.
They also steal a lot of water meters for the brass, and will strip any building under construction for the copper wiring and plumbing. I always had to have security guards do nighttime duty on large projects, just to protect it from thieves.
In my current house, that uses water from the lake for cooling, there is no outside part of the AC system to steal when we are gone for an extended period of time.
Posted by   ( ) on Feb-07-10 at 12:50:36 PST   Listings
jersey Our son strips old AC units from his job for the copper. It is a lot of work. The recycling yards up here will ask for a freon recycler's license (issued to those licensed to install HVAC and required to purge the systems before being turned in for recycle). Sean had a whole trailer load of stripped copper stolen from our own back yard. The theives would most likely have taken it out of the area, since Sean had advised both scrap yards that his stuff was stolen.

Good evenin It may have stopped snowing here.At least thats what the radar shows.plenty of blowing snow.I cleared out about 200 yards of pathes in the back yard for the dogs.They have their bellies stiched,kinda makes it painful to jump in the drifts.

You guys are welcome to have all the snow you want.We have had more than enough this year.

4X4's are great if the drivers are not idiots.You can always tell the rookies,they think it's safe to do 50MPH in the snow.thats fine if you don't have to stop or change direction :-)

Other show at Edison/Ford home. The antiques were out in numbers at show and cruising the streets.

Looked at some for sale items and some hot rods that I would have expected to bring 50-65K a couple years ago, were priced in low 30's OBO. At auction last week the same seemed true on pretty much everything. Lots of stuff was on reserve and did not sell.

crabs About the only way you'd get anyone to use chains is do it like Oregon does...make it unlawful to use the road except for vehicles with chains under certain conditions.

When I was chaining up old Betsey out there, it wasn't just me, it was everyone. Big old flip up sign, "chains required beyond this point". pretty simple, chain up or stay there. State police right there watching too.

We've got about 2-3 inches on the ground, blowing pretty good too.

legman - One thing for sure, if I get a bigger snow blower, we'll never have snow again. Maybe good insurance, huh?

Don't people use tire chains anymore?
Seems to me, those folks that "have" to go to work in this weather would invest in a set of chains.

A 4-wheel drive with a set of chains on all four will go just about anywhere. But no, they try to drive in this stuff with regular street tires, and wonder why they keep getting stuck.

I have a new set of chains I bought years ago for the EXP/Escort I had. I've tried to sell them for years at a bargain price, but no takers.
Maybe people just too lazy to put them on?

legman - "machine of which to rearrange atoms into anything" - the way things are heading it won't be about rearranging, doing, or building anything. They will just feed code cells to some type of basic soup like a recipe and then "grow" the item when the atoms self-align into some structure. They are talking about "growing" houses or computers.

Anyone heard of "Graphene" yet?
Forget gold, this stuff is the most valuable thing on the planet. It is a one-atom thick sheet of graphite that structures out as a honeycomb. Theorized in 2004, made in a lab 2007 by using scotch tape to pick up a fine layer off a block and place it on silicon chip. IBM just announced a breakthrough that we will be hearing more about. Room temperature supercomputers and such. They are making graphene now by placing graphite paper in a solvent and dissolving away all but the last layer.

http://physics.about.com/od/glossary/g/graphene.htm
a sheet of carbon atoms bound together with double electron bonds (called a sp2 bond) in a thin film only one atom thick. Atoms in graphene are arranged in a honeycomb-style lattice pattern.

10/07 IBM fabs graphene FETs
graphene does not have a gap, so you can't ordinarily turn it on and off like a transistor," said Avouris. "But we have discovered how to open up a gap by confining the electrons in a very narrow ribbon of material, in a manner similar to a nanotube, producing a quantum wire."
-
Using conventional e-beam lithography, IBM has successfully fabricated graphene FETs with very narrow nanoribbon channels.

The reason??? It's called kids. They never seem to be able to put back what they borrow. Funny, but these days we don't seem to be having that problem any more.

I know what it's like to look for something you just bought last year. No one knows where it is (even though I know exactly where I put it) and no one fesses up to being the last one to use the item in question.

After seeing on the news yesterday, all these folks buying snow shovels, I wonder....
Why do so many people buy a shovel each time it snows?
Don't they save them from the previous year?
They can't all be new homeowners.

One store got 1,500 shovels in at 9 am this morning, they were gone at 10:30.
The same down south when a hurricane is predicted. A rush on plywood to cover windows.

My uncle lives in Port Orange right next to Daytona and I know they have higher pricing on a lot of things because of the event popularity of like the speed weeks, 500, bike week, etc. I have a buddy that bartened on the strip and made about 1500 week average with his tips.

For what it is worth, my 2 cents says that eBay is too expensive for vehicle sales.. My Cutlass sold off craigsl**t.. (Might have gotten more from an eBay add?)

outlaw talks about parts listing costing the same as Autos so I had to check it out. They sure have botched up info as links for detailed information now all re-direct to a general "help" page. eBay gets no stars for that trick. If you can drill down to listing fee info, I found this for parts and accessories (below vehicles)..

Your first 5 auction-style, single-quantity listings to be listed on the site in a 30-day period have an insertion fee of $0.00 for eligible categories, including Parts & Accessories.
(I think this is for 10 day or longer auctions..)
Good Luck outlaw.

jonp - that is because it is the "New" Riverside.. I myself was a product of the old Hospital :) The new one sure patched me back together a few times. Wish things were going better for your treatments.

I see a lot of parts sell fer a lot less than $125.00, an I reckon the sellers must be pay'n the eBay fees, in order fer eBay to allow return sellers to do bidness...

I might just have to visit local Craigslist...

O.K. so sometimes a seller goofs lists an item and then can't find it...etc...but I checked this sellers bed history and he has removed an item 5 times the same way. Evidently he didn't like what the item looked like it would sell for and quickly removed the item before the auction finished. Is this legal??? I tell you one thing, it makes the bidder angry. How do I contact ebay about it. You have to go through so many lists of (is this your question) type stuff and can't find a simple complaint department. As you can tell I am quite peeved! What should I do?

RESCIPE:

Baked Pennsylvania Goundhog floating in grease.

1. Preheat oven to about 300 degrees
2. Shoot yourself one dumb Pennsylvania groundhog that is blinder than a bat/ don't know how to fib convincingly.
3. Combine in a large roasting pan, said gutted and skinned goundhog, a bunch of potatoes and veggies, spice to taste.
4. Cook that bugger 'till rendered down to nothin but grease and bones and a couple chunks of meat.
5. Pour off strained grease into the oil tank, turn the thermostat up to 80, and serve the remaining stew for dinner.

rg - They're calling for an inch or two here starting this afternoon, lasting overnight.
Another snow event maybe for the weekend, with cold temps.

Hi tech - Yeah, that 'Ol Dawg can be noisy at times, especially when someone invades his territory.

Good morning All! Another fine day with cool weather.
Crabs: I see things have warmed up a bit. Isn't there some more snow expected tomorrow?
Off to see Flo and then back to see what today brings. Since we got the HHR I am thinking about getting rid of the Town and Country Chrysler van. I might list it on Craig's list and see what happens.
Everyone have a safe day.

jersey I've dragged trailers around like that, it's called "dog walking". Trailer axles are out of alignment.

jersey LOL on the article about the Cessna getting towed through the toll booth. What do you supposed they charged for a toll? Technically, only one axle, correct?

jonp could tell you more about the LandStar trailer. Maybe leaking airbag, low tire pressure, unbalanced load or whatever. I have been behind a few trailers with the "crab walk" tracking system.

Sean and I went over to the field and made some tracks in the snow! It got up to about 40 or so this afternoon.

Just got back from a trip to Walmart...about 5 miles round trip. Had prescriptions waiting for me. The main roads are pretty good, but the access roads are still a mess. Passed two messy accidents. Didn't look like any personal injuries, but there was a lot of buckled sheet metal.

jersey My condolences on the passing of your cat. 20 years is a good, long life for the felines. We lost our last kitty at 14 years to the tainted cat food from China fiasco.

Hey there jonp
Dang new camera's software won't let me make one clip from several small ones, thus the small clips. Had to find a program to do that, Now I have to figure out how to use it.

The Ole Mutt's like me, not much exercise.
He seems to like the snow. He has no problem doing his thing in this snow. Lots of yellow spots. ;-)
The last storm at Christmas gave him problems. His hind legs are a bit weak, and he struggled to get around.

rg - These recent temps are really low for this area. Sure wish it would warm up some, but they say the next few days are gonna be cold.
Maybe more snow tomorrow night.

Good Morning U'alls! Forget that weather sticker temp, it's 12 degrees out right now. Nice and crispy weather!

Hey dawg, them little short clips are a hoot! I see the Ole Mutt hasn't missed to many meals either! Funny because our mutt didn't want to go squat in the snow. Didn't blame her, I wouldn't either!

RG You're right. I get a kick out of tootin around on the Kubota in the middle of a blizzard. That's a pretty neat snowblower nomads posted, but it needs to be about 8 feet wide.

Nomads: Being retired down here, we can travel for any season change but still come back here to avoid the really nasty stuff. A few weeks of Winter is enough to satisfy our need to see a season change. :-)

jonp Thats a long driveway to the main road.You might want to invest in this snowblower if the Kubota gets used up.

Good evenin I woke up before sunrise this A.M.and drove up to the woods with the older dog.We put fresh tire tracks in 8 miles of an unplowed road,then walked about a mile down a firecut.Lots of drifts made it interesting.Nice to have a 4X4.Then back to the estate and clear the driveway of 7.3 inches of flurries.

rg not having winter is the main reason I'll probably not retire in Fla.I would miss the seasons too much.

The leaf blower would have worked on the powder snow,but the premixed gas can was empty.No reason to let it sit around all winter and go bad.

jersey 2 more storm coming,Tue and Sat.I'll send you up some white stuff,wouldn't want all that work getting the snow stuff ready to go to waste :-)

Posted by   ( ) on Jan-31-10 at 13:17:03 PST   Listings
jonp: You can always move south. We don't have any of the white stuff.
I'd bet you just love running the plow around the estate. :-)
