And After Belize, Spooner Snow Blowing...


A few weeks back I started a series of blogs for RV'ers who don't have to put up with the nuisance little chores involved with home-owning. There is no end to material for that blog thread. Take, for example, snowremoval...........


....snow is like a child. It is beautiful, fun, and great to have around, unless it is yours............



...I got about 20 feet down the driveway and the blower quit. I had sheared a shear-pin on this piece of wire..........


......the shear-pin is actually a small bolt, seen here in the foreground. You take the crowbar and clean out the snow from the blower (always shut off the tractor if you like hands that are not plastic and steel)....



....there is always lots of snow packed into the blower when the pin shears.........


.....with frozen fingers and liberal doses of foul language, the bolt or pin goes in place and you thread a nut on it (dead center of picture)........



..then you go back out to finish the job, wondering what the Rv'ers are doing at that moment in Arizona? Polishing their chrome hitch balls?

Bastards!!................

I'm not an RVer, but I can't say that I miss that good ole midwest snow either!!! This winter has been so warm there is actually a tropical storm brewing and hurricane season ended Nov. 30!!
