Got my delivery, now need to move it in the garage.


I am dreading opening the door though...



Bye-bye warmth.

If that's a stabilized temperature, it'll likely recover to a decent level. Keep in mind that everything in the garage is warm, and will radiate heat back into the "new" air.

I turn it down at night or if I am not out here.
I think it was 61° when I turned it up this morning.

I think I might take buddy for a walk right after, that way it will feel warm when we get back. lol
I think he likes the idea.

When I do use my garage heater, I find that 62-64 is a really good temp to work in out there. Might need to kick'er on in the next day or two. I've got to work on some stuffs. The last of my 3G spare parts are supposed to be here today, so I'm hoping to hop on that project.

Also... I found some decently dense foam at work to use in my new box. I want the screwdrivers to stay put in their holders. I'm not sure what I'll cut it with just yet. We use a Gerber to cut it at work (not the knife). I suppose if I made up a CAD file, I could have an exact unit made up. Hmmmm...

This is a Gerber. Ours is much nicer though.

Just got back in from relocating another 3 or 4 inches. Still coming down. My neighbor up the street is out on one of those zero turn tractors with a plow mounted to it. It's pretty bad azz.

EDIT: Something like this, but he has a cover over the top and lights.

I can't believe that thing would get sufficient traction to take care of more than 4 inches or so.

I don't know the engine is right over the transaxle, and that is also the steering.
I would say it depends on how much weigh you gain over the Holidays for the extra traction.
You could chain the tires too.

Just saw this in my feed.

Trooper pulled someone over tonight for OWI on I-75 north and had them in the front pass. seat.
Trooper was in the driver seat when a 16-year-old in a Durango drifted off the road and hit them.
The impact shoved the patrol car into the OWI suspects' vehicle.
The trooper suffered face lacerations and a broken arm; the OWI suspect suffered from face lacerations.

Dude was so lucky he was not handcuffed in the back of that car !

He was helping the laziest bastard alive... so it was moving snow accumulated from Sunday. At least a 10 to 12 inches, and it was doing awesome.

"LB" still has 3 pallets of sod that he got back in May. Not the pallet.... I mean the whole pallet. It's a pile of dirt now.

We have a couple houses on our street like that.
Don't cut the grass, pick up the leaves or shovel the snow.

Lucky for me they're down the street and around the curve, so I don't have to look at them.
