Woke up this morning with the intention of going out to play around in the shop. When I looked out of the window my plans suddenly changed.With 22 and counting I don't think Ill be in the shop for awhile. Gotta love Connecticut.

Been working outside on an old parts hauler, but its just too damned cold. I'm going to the basement in a bit to tackle and engine that I have wanted to dig into for quite awhile. At least its warm and dry in the basement. We have below zero wind chill this morning and about 6-7" in the ground. Nothing like you are getting I feel like such a sissy.
It's cold and a bit of snow on the ground here, like porknbeaner said (Raytown and Shawnee are both suburbs of Kansas City). I grew up in SD, so actually enjoy a shot of snow now and then. I moved down here from Minneapolis 27 years ago, and brough along an 18 horsepower, 48 inch wide snowblower. I keep it in tip top shape, but think I have only used it here a dozen times or so in the last 27 years. A few years ago the muffler rusted out, so I built a header (2-cylinder Onan) with a straight pipe on it. It really barks, especially when you get into the snow that is a little bit heavy with moisture. The entrance to my shop is about a 10-foot hike from the back door of our walk-out basement, and sheltered by our deck, so the weather never stops me from getting out there.
