Trying something different. Making party mix on the smoker. Stay tuned.

Bright sun and no wind by barns fooled me. Trip down it was at my back but the way back was another story. Should have grabbed a face mask/scarf. Nothing else was cold. Had I needed to do multiple drive passes, I would have went in and layered up more. Usually I have some insulated carharts...

Fired up the B3200 and did a quick snow removal. Only got around 3” and this time it was light and fluffy. 4F with a good breeze made the open station a bit nippy. Barn blocked the wind so doing the drive by the house was quite enjoyable.

Grabbed some old fashioned bologna from the local butcher and had a fried bologna with onions and cheese on toasted sourdough

Saturday traffic

Wife whipped up some Hatteras Clam Chowder on a snowy Saturday while I did the service on her ride. Time to eat and watch the snow.

Look at Wyze. Numerous solutions and they have an outdoor camera with a small solar panel to keep it charged. I had to do a temporary security system at our warehouse and these work great. They have spotlight cameras, fixed cameras , pan cameras and a very affordable monitoring plan. Now for...

We are east of 33 and about couple miles north of 347. 5 miles to Raymond and 5 to West Mansfield. Definitely got heavier as the day progressed. I guess I should have jumped on the Orange at 6 after my morning coffee. Looks nice though.

I was surprised. They were saying the bulk of it was gonna be around Athens. I was expecting only a trace to an inch.

Well the driveway markers failed. We actually got around 6” of snow overnight. I waited until lunch today and when they still weren’t working, I plowed the driveway. Snow was wet and heavy but it only took me around 30 min to get it clean and part of that was installing the rear blade. Yes I...

Gave the bird a day off. Bone in ribeye, collard greens with some of my bacon and cranberry dressing

Got the 50 gal transfer tank out of the truck with the B3200, took a load of firewood to the back porch and put on the edge tamers. Now just sitting back and watching the snow. Put the tank on a pallet, up on wheels to move around. Will build a proper base for it.

Interesting thing is the nozzle for off-road is a larger diameter than the taxed diesel. Do diesel pickups have the same restricted opening that a gas vehicle has? Now comes the fun. We had company when I got home so the tank is still in my truck. Time to warm up the orange and move it

Saved around $.95/gal. Out by me it was 3.95/gal. $3.00 for off-road. Tank holds 50 gal so that is $50 on a fill

Time to fill up
