As long as they get here before the next snow event... yesterday and today would have been great days to put them on.. sunny and warm.. going into a colder period in the next couple of days.

Murphy must be lurking nearby! I emailed an order for the same chains Friday and received an
email, confirming the order. Today, I received another email cancelling the order, saying that they
did not have enough stock to fulfill the order. Their web site still indicates in stock! Hmmmm! I
ordered the chains from Tire Chains Required in Oakland, Maine!

To add to the aggravation, I contacted the dealer, from whom I purchased the Pronovost Puma-74 snow
blower, telling them of the failed weld on the auger drive shaft. The service manager told me to bring it in
and they'd see if they would repair it or replace it. I worked on it all morning and into the afternoon, but
couldn't free up the shaft from the chain sprocket assembly. I called them back to tell him about my
problem, and he replied "Oh, I meant to bring in the whole snow blower. We can't get any reimbursement
from the manufacturer with just the shaft!" After telling him that I couldn't bring in the snow blower as
it won't fit in the bed of my pickup truck, he sent someone up with a truck to get the blower. Talk about
a wasted day!

Well.. some days are a diamond. Some days are a stone.

I am sure when the chains finally come it will be freezing cold, and snowing.

The chains are supposed to be delivered today, 9 degrees, with a -8 windchill. I don't think I am going to put them on today.

 

[k0ua]

Well they both arrived, man those bags are heavy!

Ever notice that without fail, what ever you ordered to help in bad weather
never shows up until the weather is too bad to install it :anyone:

Like the Hams say, an antenna will not work properly until it is put up in
winter weather....I just put up an 267 foot Carolina Windom dipole this
morning. 8 F and about - 2 or -3 wind chill. :cold: My old G5RV finally bit the dust...

Oh Well,, Some hot turkey veggie soup put me to rights....:thumbsup:

That new antenna should work well, as it was put up in "proper" weather.
