Woe is us.
We were skunked.
Bad internal EFI battery in snowblower, so no fuel.
Laid the parts out again for shed, and sure enough, too many of one part and not enough
of another. No way to build with parts sent.

Paul made a very neat driveway marker driver. I have a special long drill and a rubber mallet I use, but his gizmo
is a great solution.

am waiting for wind to die down, at least a little, so I can go suck up some more leaves. Ton of leaves blown onto my lawn from
neighbor's, luck of the draw, which way the wind goes.

Wow - the three Amigos!

With only a half hour left in the day, I suppose it’s too late for a “Good Morning” unless I wait another 30 minutes.

At any rate it was a cold and windy day. Had a nice, but chilly visit with Drew and Ken. Sadly for Drew, we only confirmed what he already knew. I’m not sure that I would ever get a small engine with EFI if it relied on a proprietary battery like this one did.
Picking up the shed panels in the wind was interesting as well. It’s a good thing that I had that additional Covid mass to deal with them.
When I got home, a couple of band mates came over and we spent the afternoon doing some tracking and overdubs on a song that we have been working on.

17° right now...high in the mid-30's, chance of snow showers.
Did clean off the walks, deck and drive yesterday. Not much going on today except eat leftovers from Thanksgiving...

Real drag about Drew's snow blower battery. IIRC, this is a new machine? I hope it's under warranty. It's great to know there's TBN members willing to help each others out...Kudos to the team!

Also, the shed...what a frustrating thing!!
Maybe it's time to go another direction:

Poured first cup of coffee. 27° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 35° with cloudy skies. Got about 4" of snow yesterday. Cleaned walkways around 3 o'clock. Went out 2 hour later and it needed cleaning again. Will get at that today. Got tractor ready for winter. Snow blade is on and all joints greased. It will get used later today. Put Christmas tree up today.
Finished making and installing pole rack for Mule. No more pole sticking out side of mule waiting to get caught on something.

Yesterday's sunrise.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

Good morning all.
warmer day today, going up to high 40s.
Neighbors were out sucking up leaves late yesterday, winds were blowing them everywhere, figured I'd wait until this afternoon
and then hopefully make one more pass with bagger.

Sure was nice to have my TBN buddies over to help yesterday. Ken may be a marketing exec but his background is an EE, which is why
he and Paul could discuss all kinds of technical things. Paul is a McGyver that can do just about anything. They both pulled out their multimeters and
confirmed battery wasn't charging in snowblower so EFI would not pump gas. Like Paul said, why didn't they just put a simple motorcycle battery in there that charged
up when motor ran. Instead they have an internal battery that needs an external battery charger attached. Seems like an unfinished design and sure not worth the extra
400 bucks for this motor.

I had about four layers of clothes on yesterday and that wind still felt cold.

Looked at cordless snowblowers online last night, seems EGO is still the top dog here. I just hate buying into another battery system but no
choice here. 445 bucks for a spare battery.

I'm told there is an Amish shed builder that visits local farm market every year, about a mile from my home. I think that's where I'm headed next.

I have one xmas present to build, an outdoor thermometer and rain gauge I'm going to mount on a piece of cedar for a friend.

off to Meeting this morning, then home to chase leaves around
