Snow thrower

And the snow thrower is back

And the snow thrower is back

By Jan Dembowski on February 24, 2010

A few weeks ago I dropped off my snow thrower at the Sears repair location in Melville. On Friday I got an automated call from Sears saying it was done and I could pick it up. The original plan was to pick it up this Saturday. But since tomorrow there is supposed to be a [...]

Well I sure taught the snow who's boss

Well I sure taught the snow who’s boss

By Jan Dembowski on February 11, 2010

All day yesterday it snowed from around midnight to at least 11:30 PM.  Several times I went out and cleared the driveway.  Around the end of my second pass I noticed that the oil cap came off on my snow thrower and oil was burning. I shut it down and replaced the cap.
Later on when [...]

Amazing stuff this “gasoline”

By Jan Dembowski on December 20, 2009

So this morning I attacked the pile of snow in my driveway. The gas from last year became no good so the snow thrower was stalling like crazy. Crazy as in every minute or so. This is not news to me, I had just thought that the power of positive thinking would make the old [...]

Wow, it's still coming down

Wow, it’s still coming down

By Jan Dembowski on December 20, 2009

Looks like I will have to use the snow thrower after all. Good thing it’s all gassed up. I started it yesterday before the snow came down.
At work Friday there was some discussion about what contingency plans will be for coverage on Monday.  That’s not looking like such a bad idea right now.

What a great way to start March

By Jan Dembowski on March 2, 2009

It started snowing last night. Not a lot in an hour, but it did not stop. Now schools are closed and the roads are dicey.
In a very short while I’ll head out and clear the driveway.

Not snow again

By Jan Dembowski on December 31, 2008

And thus it starts.  No, the snow thrower is not gassed up. It started a little while ago; I was expecting rain.

Sigh, it’s like Lily saying to me “Not smart enough to come out of the rain” only with snow.

All my snows remembered

By Jan Dembowski on December 21, 2008

It snowed here Friday, so when I got home I started shoveling before I even went inside.  My driveway is on a slope so if you don’t drive an SUV (I do) then going up the ramp is a problem.

This picture is me 2 years ago when I had some forethought. Friday night I thought [...]

That was not so bad

By Jan Dembowski on February 26, 2007

Used the snow thrower on the driveway.   The snow was actually not bad at all.
