Good morning, TAN.

We are having a blizzard (and not the good DQ kind, either).  Just got back in after 2 hours of snowblowing (taking a chance with that phrase and cringing knowing that Cord will fix it).  My fingers are frozen and it's a little difficult to type right now.  Good news, I feel happier singing and whistling "Walking In A Winter Wonderland".



I sing that one "Walkin' round in women's underpants". My wife and daughter cringe everytime.

I sing "...underwearrrrrrrrrr".  Sounds even more disturbing.

I don't need to fix it because you are a big enough tool without my edit.

We're having one of those too.  Closed the schools and everything.  So far we've had 3/4" rain.

You got missed.  It's sweeping up at us and looks like it'll get worse.  Go out and ride!

Buckshot - 2012-12-20 6:29 AM Morning TAN. 

Morning Mark and the rest of TAN that is awake.

How much snow you getting out of this one Mark? We're getting 6 to 8 inches today but 35 to 50mph winds are what is bad.

Not much Ken. Only about an inch or so. Everything slid south to your neck of the woods. Still snowing a little but that will taper off soon. I love it as I am home today on PTO installing a water heater.

It's meant to start snowing here at 2.  I'll be enjoying my SUPER long day at work today.  Get to re-learn how to drive a skid-steer tonight to clear snow from the local movie theater and 4 strip malls.

Never worked one.  How many buttons, knobs, gears, handles, foot pedals, ??? does it take to work the thing?  One for every direction - up, down, left, right, tilt forward, tilt back?

No problem, but, I've never seen Pittster's azz (nor want to).  However, for all we know, it could actually be all nice and round and shapely and Euro-waxed and clean and such.

Well I don't know about the euro-wax but I have seen it in spandex and a nice suit so I would say it is not half bad.

Morning, Sprint!

It's meant to start snowing here at 2.  I'll be enjoying my SUPER long day at work today.  Get to re-learn how to drive a skid-steer tonight to clear snow from the local movie theater and 4 strip malls.

Lucky dawg getting to play with big boy toys!  Just don't take out any lightposts or abandoned parked cars.

 

Interesting luck.  So far I've only broken it once...and that was just trying to figure out how everything works.

Never worked one.  How many buttons, knobs, gears, handles, foot pedals, ??? does it take to work the thing?  One for every direction - up, down, left, right, tilt forward, tilt back?

The one I'll be using today: Knob and a footpedal for throttle.  Left hand joystick (we'll see how that goes) that controls forward/backwards/turns.  Also has the button for the transmission's gears.   Right hand joystick that controls lift arm height and bucket/plow rotation.  Has the switch that controls plow angle.  The pushbox/plow I'll be using can be separated to use as either a pushbox or a plow. 

So far I have about 15 hours in these machines and I've only broken two hydraulic lines, and the skid itself once.  Biggest problem for me is that my elbow is going to rest right on the safety harness (think roller-coaster style), and I have blind spots that keep me from seeing the edges of the pusher (which leads to things like clipping light poles).

Good morning, TAN.

We are having a blizzard (and not the good DQ kind, either).  Just got back in after 2 hours of snowblowing (taking a chance with that phrase and cringing knowing that Cord will fix it).  My fingers are frozen and it's a little difficult to type right now.  Good news, I feel happier singing and whistling "Walking In A Winter Wonderland".

I sing that one "Walkin' round in women's underpants". My wife and daughter cringe everytime.

probably only because they are tired of hearing the same old non-funny joke...

You're just jealous because I look better in a thong than you do.

I don't know about that one, Pittster - Lady Swole looked pretty dang HAWT in her body-building competition.  I don't think I could stomach seeing your hairy, unshaven azz.

Thanks for the visual first thing in the morning!

 

Morning TAN

No problem, but, I've never seen Pittster's azz (nor want to).  However, for all we know, it could actually be all nice and round and shapely and Euro-waxed and clean and such.

Seems you've thought about this before......

Morning, Teejaay!  Actually, just entered my mind a couple of minutes ago.  I'm always thinking about something odd, like ..... SQUIRREL!!

We're having one of those too.  Closed the schools and everything.  So far we've had 3/4" rain.

Morning, Sprint!

You got missed.  It's sweeping up at us and looks like it'll get worse.  Go out and ride!

It's meant to start snowing here at 2.  I'll be enjoying my SUPER long day at work today.  Get to re-learn how to drive a skid-steer tonight to clear snow from the local movie theater and 4 strip malls.

Lucky dawg getting to play with big boy toys!  Just don't take out any lightposts or abandoned parked cars.

 

Interesting luck.  So far I've only broken it once...and that was just trying to figure out how everything works.

See this is why I miss snow!!  So much fun to play in in motorized vehicles!
