That was my best laugh all day. You crack me up!

Never heard of that before. Never noticed you're right down the highway from me either.

The hand is getting better. I think it's getting better, these pain meds rock. I guess it could be worse if I started out the new season like this. It would have put me out for the first eight weeks of the season.

I just showed that to Patrick. At 4 years old he's real excited.

Being the most boring person is not always a bad thing. :) My wife thinks my love for antique and shortwave radios is boring but I love it. Just gotta do what you like.

Restore antique radios, the old wood ones from the 1930s and 40s. Play with all sorts of electronics too.

84 would be nice. A few nights ago it was 12. Can you believe I'm still getting calls for powerwashing in this type of weather? The message on the answer machine clearly says we are closed for the season but they keep on calling to see if I can get one more job in.

We just got hit with a huge ice storm. Power is out all over New England. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

I've got to buy a new snowblower for my winter sidewalk accounts. I plow with my truck but need a new blower for the sidewalks. My old one just can't do it anymore. It can get really packed with slush thrown in by the city plow trucks Anyway, my question is your experience with snowblowers as far as quality goes. I expect to spend about 1500 to 2000 for one. Any ideas on what to stay away from or what to lean towards? Thanks in advance.

One other thing you might want to try: Just as it starts to stall close the choke somewhat and see if that keeps it running. This will show you if it's a fuel starvation problem. Let us know how it turns out.

Try some carb cleaner, the one with the little straw attached and blow out the jets. Even compressed air will work fine. Watch the pressure, not too much. It really sounds like it's starving for fuel.

You won't believe these people. I love the line about the rock having a beautiful life. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/906397/

Over eight years ago I was traveling through Eastern Europe and happened to meet a very beautiful girl. That girl is now my wife. Tonight we have our 8th anniversary. I can’t believe it’s been 8 years now. One son, new house, etc. What a long strange trip it’s been. I was very happy living a single life but this is so much better (most of the time). Okay, she just got home from work. Time to go to a little place to eat with the wife and 3 year old Patrick. See ya!

I've never had one blow in the middle but I have had 3 or 4 hoses break at the ends. Each time I've found the area to be rusty. I guess the rust from the fitting weakens the hose just enough to cause failure. They can be repaired for 10 dollars or so.

Bulgaria. Just north of Turkey and west of the Black Sea. A very small country but it's a lot of fun.

Well experienced and a great voting record in congress. Please.

That was an awful video. He looked like he was about to cry because people he has no alliance to can’t get married He’s the kind of whining little kiss butt reporter most people hate. It’s very simple. Marriage is between a male and a female. Not a male and male or female and female. Call it something else but don’t call it marriage. I consider it an insult to my own marriage.

That was funny!

I'm sure you're right on that. We were doing a rather large job in a different state when the engine let go on one of the washers. I had to replace it quick so I bought one of those 1000 dollars units at Home Deopt down the road. The AR pump broke twice in one month. I still keep it around as a spare but a put a Cat on it.

That's too much.It's worth about 450 butIdoubt he would take that. As for the pump, I have been running two Generals and one Cat for many years. I did have several ARs but each one gave up too quickly,

Fixed a burst radiator hose on the side of the highway.

I really hope you feel the same four years from now.

How many times has your doorbell rung tonight? We've gotten quite a few, more that last year. It's a hoot to see all the kids dressed up this time of year. Nice to know the neighbors are still active.

Less government, less welfare, no entitlements, no affirmative action, no anchor babies, and get rid of the illegal Mexicans. Would anyone else vote for that?

200?! That's a load of kids. We get 50 or so.
