We knew it had to happen and yesterday winter raised it's ugly head. The first major snow of the year always leaves me with mixed feelings. First it really kind of neat in a way. Everything looks so clean (for about 24 hrs.) Then reality sets in when I think about getting the snow blower out of storage. As most of you probably do, I have that love hate relationship with mine. It either won't start, needs the belt changed or some other crazy thing. This year was no exception. To my surprise it started right up and worked fine. At least until one of the handle bolts vibrated loose and fell off in the snow somewhere. Now mind you, I specifically checked them before I started. So it's off to The Anderson's today for a replacement. It seems like this is the 3rd time I've had to do this over the years. I probably should pick up a spare drive belt while I'm there.
I talked with Dr. AH yesterday. He came back just in time to catch the snow storm. He said it wasn't going to be much warmer in Florida for a while so he didn't mind the snow. I think that's a bit loony, but suppose being home for Christmas and family is really what it's all about. I'm sure after a few days of this cold it will reinforce why go to Florida in the first place.
Well, off to The Anderson's and hope they have my parts.
