My new snowblower arrived today and I am a happy guy. It is substantially easier to use than the old one and it is almost as powerful as the old one.
I peeled all the shipping plastic off it, drained the oil, filled it with nice new oil, filled it with gasoline and fired it up. Since there is no snow on my driveway, I cut into one of the many snow banks along my driveway. That machine bit into it like butter and it threw the snow about 30 or 40 feet.
I am pleased with my new machine and I'm betting that now that I have it, we will not see any more snow. Hell, we might not have any snow next year either...
And for the record, my wife was out on her daily walk with her friend and they ran across a guy who was licking up an old lawnmower. My wife asked if he took old equipment and he said yes and gave her his name & number.
I called him today and he will be picking up The Beast to take it to the great scrapyard in the sky. Or not. Maybe he'll see if he can fix it and sell it. I really don't care what he does with it. All I care about is it will no longer be in my garage.
And in the world of things delayed, Amazon tells me that my new router has been dug out of whatever snow bank it was in and is now on its way to me.
It should be at my house sometime this evening and I will probably set it up tomorrow.
I told my wife it was on its way and she responded as follows,
She knows me very well...
Time for yet another episode of, "How's the newest member of the family doing?"
-
The newest member of the family continues to thrive and grow.
Her mom and dad are also doing very well.
The Red Sox managed to hold off the Rays this afternoon, beating them 7-5.
Crochet looked pretty good. He faced 7 batters, gave up a hit and a walk.
Chapman came in to replace him (hey, it's spring training. weird things happen) and he also looked pretty good. He faced 4 batters, gave up a hit and struck out 3.
Also, I am liking the new guy, Durbin. He reminds me a little bit of Pedroia.
Tomorrow they take on Atlanta and NESN will be carrying that game. First pitch is at 1:05pm

- When I was a little kid, we almost had a nuclear war over that island. Children in the US spent a lot of time practicing hiding under their desks. I don't have a desk to hide under...
- At this point, I would say that anyone who goes to Mexico for a vacation or to watch the World Cup is either insane or suicidal.
- Looks like Krazy Kim might be a little afraid of The Very Stable Genius.
