That time of year again, dragged home another old snowblower
Q

My old Ariens never clogged or misbehaved. Mainly, I sold it because the controls were awkward and dangerous, and the 40-year-old engine was getting tired. All Toros used the drum auger until fairly recently. This model was current from about 1992 to 1999, I think. It's a really nice lightweight snowblower, but it's a little small for me. The electric Toro works pretty well. I don't have much use for it, but it's a prototype/dealer sample so I figure probably fun to keep around. The Deere is an actual Deere-built machine. The gearbox is a cast iron monster, larger than I'm used to seeing. Powdercoated, too. While the inner workings of the Deere are heavy duty, the frame and housing are pretty flimsy. Several broken welds. Most of the rust on the Simplicity is in the bucket or underneath. The wheels and augers are rusted onto their respective axles. I have the feeling it'll take a lot of PB Blaster and torch heat to get them off. Looked it over a little more today, looks like the engine was shortblocked in 1992.

Good news! The ground is bare of snow here on the south coast of MA (of course we still have some gnarly piles of dirty snow)....but the lawn is green! And....I was pleasantly surprised today to see some golfers playing at the New Bedford Country Club! So golf has arrived in southern-most New England and will spread north over the next 4-6 weeks. Even though Nemo's snow is gone, the tree damage is extensive. Although there are lots of broken limbs here and there, what is most amazing is the shear number of uprooted trees. I **had** a very large cherry laurel....about 8 feet tall...full lush and of course evergreen. Nemo pulled the entire thing right out of the ground and then flattened it under 15 inches of heavy cement. I can't even budge it even though the snow is gone and the ground is soft and unfrozen. I guess I will cut it way back to primary branches, dig it up, and replant it. My large southern magnolia lost 2 branches, but overall did much better than I originally thought it did the day after Nemo. It is a bit misshapen now and I am wondering if it is time for a very aggressive pruning next month....to get it all tight and bushy again. I think the main message is....prune prune prune. The more you do it...correctly...the better the odds the tree or shrub will survive these historic events.

Oh, Wow! I don't know where you got the idea that today was me birthday! I quit having those about 3 years ago, and I don't feel a day older then I did at that time!!! OK, so today I officially became an old person. Yep I'm even on Medicare now and I also belong to Silver Sneakers at the Health Club. Thank you, all of you, for the Birthday wishes. You are all so sweet and I wish I could pass each of you a slice of this beautiful cake that our son and his family brought me. It was Yummy, but I don't need all this! I need your help, please eat it for me! There, I smeared it on my screen, all you need to do is lick your screen! Man, I wish I could check to see if any of you tried it! It should taste as good as all that chocolate we use to share! I am in misery, sitting here growning and holding my overstuffed belly after all the eating we did today -- when will I learn to say NO!

Thank you for your reply. I have my own bank account now too. He only pays the house payment and his personal bills. I pay all the utilities, groceries, household items such as everything from cleaning supplies to bathroom items. I also pay for the entertainment (internet,cable, netflix, amazon prime video) When you come down to it, it's not really fair but I try to pick my battles. We recently got into an argument because I repeatedly asked her to take care of something and she blew me off. When I went to her Dad he said HE WOULD do it instead of getting her to have any responsibly! So I said he was enabling her from growing up. That resulted in him saying to her to do what i asked so "I'll shut the f*** up about it." He then told me he don't want me to be a parent to her. So it's OK to support and provide financially but i can not "raise" her. I'm starting to feel this relationship is a joke and I am being used. I spent the evening in silence while they didn't speak to me. I feel I would be more at peace if I take my kids and let this go. I'll seek some outside help because I really need ideas on how to react to them both differently. I hate I wear my emotions on my face.

Hey, this is only four candles more then my 60th cake, and that was a melt down! No kidding one of the grand had a fire extinguisher handy. There was so much heat that the candles melted into a puddle on top of the cake and the frosting became a partially cooked version. It was very memorable!!!

Thanks for all your sweet wishes.
It is a very busy day and I most likely wont get back here till mid evening. My Sis visited this AM, and this noon DGS Aaron is coming to make grilled cheese for lunch for me. It's his first cooking experience! This afternoon we are going to the cheap movie of Julia. After that is dinner at my favorite Mex place.

It's a GREAT DAY!
