I got the Ranger started last night and plowed myself out. Driving to work this morning the 4 wheel drive decided to not work in the the Dodge. When I got to work I had to snow blow because a bunch of people couldn’t get to work including the guy that normally does the snow blowing. I of course broke the snow blower. I seem jinxed lately. lol ---

i have a 32 year old snowblower my grandfather passed down to my family, every year i take it apart and clean it up and replace parts and every year it starts up and does my driveway. this thing honestly has to have about 2000 miles of snowblowing on it haha ---

In a rare moment of charity I took my blower across the street and did my neighbors driveway (an older couple)… and sheered a pin entering their driveway… and I hadnt finished mine yet so there was no wayyyy I was getting my cars out. Thankfully the hardware store is only two blocks down. Granted this is the first time in 20+ years we’ve had to replace a pin on the snowblower which is probably 30+ years old and puts these new plastic pussy ones in their place. ---
