Totally true. They exist for a good reason.Here, here's something for that... LOL.

Kidding aside. Don't forget you should lubricate the surfaces they hold together. Lest rust invade, and prevent the shear pin from doing it's job. A blown gearbox is much more of a downer than a blown shear pin. Trust me...
(I happen to know that my blower contains an $800 gearbox, and a $1300 gear box. Not to mention the cost of the rest of the drive line, or gear boxes within the tractor. Shear pins blowing are my friend!)
Our driveway is abt the same length, but the worst we’ve ever gotten was maybe 30” abt 10 yo. I remember having to snow blow in stages like you describe.It was calm enough. Wind, but relatively low speed. We're on top of a hill, so the air is always moving. The worst part of snow in this weather is that it's so dense. And the "dust" gets under the hood and gets the belts wet. When that happens the alternator can slip and loose power. Gotta stop, back up and let everything dry out again. Only happened once this morning.
The worst drifting we had to clean was from 40" to 60" deep over the whole driveway and road. It was amazing, it completely filled the driveway. The blower on the tractor is 30" high. I had to raise it up, blow a few feet, back up, lower it and cover those few feet again. Rinse and repeat until both 300' driveways were opened.
Fuck that. Being nice to people is all well and good. But you gotta get the job done and produce. And not waste company money.I just had the most frustrating meeting.
I have made a decision. I will be doing nothing. I will not tell my opinion. Everything will be fine. I will not be offering to write documents or proof them. I will not take lead on anything.... fuck these people.
I believe the term is quiet quitting.
My last words were. " should have the cancer education done for you all to change... have a nice day" we have to make sure that all the cartoon characters are in the right place on the power point.
Did I say fuck these people?
The last time we were all together we talked about having a best friend at work...fucking really.... now we need to leverage relationships to figure out their billing process. I am not a biller and am barely a coder..then what.... thanks for telling me and good luck... but the rest of these fucktards are sitting there like bobbleheads agreeing.
Fuck fuck fucking fuck
EDIT: the same person who told leadership that me going to the acdis conference was a waste of money is not only going but attending the long session which is 2x as much money.... and they had the nerve to ask my opinion. My response was look at the agenda and make your determination from that....what I wanted to say was ....so you going makes it a good financial.decision when a year ago me going was not....hmmmm...then she talked about never being to Disney and how excited she was..... she wasn't interested when conference was in Indianapolis....fuck
I used to love looking thru the McMaster Carr catalogs. My dad used to order shit from there all the time.McMaster carries it. It's only about $25 per pound...
Where are you, specifically.GOM, currently and earlier.
Despite the name change to "Gulf Of America" I'll continue to use the acronym "GOM" as Gun Owners of America already owns GOA.View attachment 2473807
Back in the days, when we used to make things here and employ people here…
I think they’re very popular in the US. Our house was built in 1961 and had one. (But we took it out.)It’s not something I’ve seen in a house built since the fifties is all
Dude! Thats a hike. Please be careful.Not until I get home... 600+ miles and 3-8 inches of snow and ice.
Good decision How long has Grey been saying that I wonder? lol…….Just do the minimum dont make waves and keep my mouth shut to collect money ...that is my new plan.... welcome to 2025
And do all those profanities make you feel better? LolI just had the most frustrating meeting.

Or the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?The real question is, how fast is the bee flying through Miami???
Far from standard, but they are really handy to have IMO.It’s not something I’ve seen in a house built since the fifties is all
Drop in the bucket but not a bad place to start.They are against big brother and big tech knowing too much about us.
Is that the mechanic's version of the Sears Catalog?I used to love looking thru the McMaster Carr catalogs. My dad used to order shit from there all the time.
One of my good friends used to work there.
This would be right up my alley....You probably do know my thoughts. I'm having PMs with a longtime friend here about making it another 18-24 months and then "retiring," which means changing careers completely. I respect some of the kids who really know their stuff, but the ones who are all bossy can pound sand.
The landlady says they're putting in a tiny homes community up near town, so we're going to go to look at it today when she gets off of work. I'll let you know.
Not sure yetFuck that. Being nice to people is all well and good. But you gotta get the job done and produce. And not waste company money.
I hope you can find a new job or team that suits you better. Maybe a move to another system??
Too bad you couldn't rig up a battery to keep the troughs warm or bubble the water so it doesn't freeze... prob wouldn't work but a cool ideaThe real question is, how fast is the bee flying through Miami???
Just came in from breaking ice. It's tough to keep the critters in water this time of year, and it's not fair that they not have any. The damned troughs freeze back over every few hours, so one takes his or her #2 shovel and goes to war on the ice. Then you have to shovel out what you can because it just holds the cold and helps it freeze faster. Hint: ice shovels fer shit.
Good thing the main troughs get some sunshine.
The mama goat's water bucket is under the heat lamp but still freezes.
Still no baby goats, but the little dwarf girl is cute as a button.
A long time... I am priced out of a lot of jobs. I make good mo ey and don't want to take a pay cut ..... I just need to vent and then go back in there and do my best...Good decision How long has Grey been saying that I wonder? lol
They did today..... I am trying to only use in extreme cases..... I don't want to offend my bff from scotland..I will be uninvited from visiting....And do all those profanities make you feel better? Lol
They sell heated bird baths (discussed back in Oct. 2024), so I don't see why something similar couldn't be managed. That's a City Girl's logic at work though.Too bad you couldn't rig up a battery to keep the troughs warm or bubble the water so it doesn't freeze... prob wouldn't work but a cool idea
Vent away!!I just need to vent and then go back in there and do my best...
Probably roller and ball bearings in that factory. The hint is the power drops are electrical, not line shaft and belt.
That must have been an old car even then!I remember laying underneat a car replacing the babbit. Long long ago!
