The Original Old Farts Club

[Tattered Old Graywolf]

Oh, you poor baby! Guess I should be thankful for this 22 degree weather I'm having.


I always used to giggle when my Old Man would say that. Ya know where it originally came from? The cannon balls on a warship were stacked in a pyramid shape on a brass/bronze frame (think cue ball rack), and the rack would shrink in freezing cold weather and the cast iron balls would fall off and get loose on the deck.
I liked pappy's version better.

Your old mans version is true.

Woke up to a balmy 16 degrees F this morning. Effing ridiculous out there.

Good morning...back to work after 3 days off...reality in effect. Wishing all a pain free day... the cannabis way!

 

[WeedHopper]

I hope you bought the extended warranty for that motorized chair that moves in steps

 

[WeedHopper]

That would be a rough riding chair.

That would be a rough riding chair.

It comes with a built in donut with a Ai that can calculate the correct air pressure of the donut, adjusted to the bumps, to give you a ride as smooth as a 911 turbo on the autobahn. Plus the magnificent Ai included is not just FREE it’s also FREE for all your friends! Did I mention FREE

Alexa South Park style

A bidet will take care of that problem.

Always good to have a good laugh every now and then. Hopper I wish I could take those steps with you. It would help on the weight loss I was working on till the holidays hit. I did put on a few but the work begins again.

 

[Hippie420]

Giggy, I'm hoping that the next doc can get yer knee right and get you back to line dancing. I'd love to see ya in a foot race with Hopper and whoop him bad!

Well **** now I have an issue

I forgot to get my snowblower out of storage and at 12 degrees no way it starts with the oil in it it just sucked the battery dry in three attempts. To make matters worse this is an early Z-Track mower and has no release lever to disengage the transmission. You have to dissemble part of the mower which I am loathe to do since this method would require me to purge air from the hydraulic lines.

So I am thinking maybe I put a tarp over the mower and put a 1500 watt ceramic heater under it and heat the mower to say 50 degrees?

Any other options? We are going to get 9 inches in a couple of days and I can no longer shovel worth a damn

 

[Hippie420]

Couldn't hurt to try the tarp/heater thing. Only other option would be to try and muscle the bugger into the house, and my back says that wouldn't be much fun.

Not an option. Not only can you not move it were you to try and tow it the hydrostatic transmission locked there would be damage.

 

[Hippie420]

Tarp and heater it is!

I wish you could too brother. I hope things get better for you soon my friend.
