Very nice machine. Required equipment in the GWN.

My craftsman was started, oil changed, lubed etc about 4 weeks ago. Ready for the major onslaught expected this year.

 

^Thanks Wayne, that's good to know.
One other person recommended them as well.

My old one has been pretty rough for a few years now.
It was always taking 6 or more pulls to kick over.
It started OK in September, so I thought I might limp through with it one more year.

LOL.... it didn't make 10' yesterday before succumbing in a cacophony of crashing metal bits traveling in uncontrolled trajectories to parts unknown.

A year ago I wore out the starter rope on mine. I managed to shorten and rewind it since I didn't want to spend $100+ for the whole new one piece rope/recoil. Since it's shorter I decided to succumb to always using the electric start anyhow.

 

Glad to hear that your wife is doing better, Gee. Hope she heals up well!


Not Canada, but North Dakota, Canada's limb that dips in the US (as I call it ) has gotten a good bit of snow. Heres a pic I took the other day of the G after giving it a bath. You can see the snow build up in the back ground.

The Continental ExtremeWinterContacts are doing beautifully. I never knew a RWD car could get around as well as this. I am truly baffled.

 

I Finally changed the newer Blizzaks I bought and put them on my winter wheels yesterday, today I just got a nail stuck in one of them

 

Speaking of winter, I have been in London Ontario for just over a week. I have never in my life seen such a useless system as far as snow plowing and snow removal goes.
Heck they shut their transit system down again today. It will be shutdown till thursday and it is only Tues afternoon. I walk to the hospital 3 times a day to visit my wife, I have to walk on the roads because they don't seem to use sidewalk plows, I walk through snow piled as deep as 3 feet to get to the Hospital.
My town gets snow worse than this fairly regular and I have never seen roads o sidewalks like this.
Thank God I don't live in London. Hopefully I will be leaving this quagmire of snow covered ****e by the end of the week.

Sorry for ranting.

 

Hard not to rant when you're living away from in that kind of conditions and waiting for your wife after a major surgery.

Sure doesn't sound like they have their act together at all, although I won't say it's great around here either.

 

Wow, that's surprising Wayne.
With the amount of snow they usually get, you'd think they would have a good clearing system.
