Friend Being Blackmailed What Advice Would You Give

I’m real happy to stay home the few days a year that we have snow! Glad you were ok and didn’t crash your car.

This is where a 4X4 drive comes in handy, glad you didn't come to any harm.

Even a 4X4 is helpless on downhill ice!

Yep ~ they get going when two wheel drives slip ~ but they don't stop any faster on ice ```

scaredest i've ever been in my life was sudden chatter bumps on a mountain road with no guardrails. i wasn't going very fast as it was steep, downhill, but going down that road and those bumps were suddenly there and i had zero control heading for an edge... it wasn't a pants/brown stain event, but darn close to it...

Bottom of hill was down town White Plains heavy traffic. Friend has not heard from BM for couple days now. I asked a friend if she could set him up with one of her girl friends.

Had to get the snowblower fixed. Hadn't run it in 2 years. DH had put Stabil in the gas, but we never ran it last year. We tried to start it in the cold garage and he thought that the gas line had frozen. We moved it to the basement--NO SMALL FEAT bc there is a 12 in ledge that leads INTO the basement and we had to lift it up to get it to the 5 1/2 (cement) indoor steps. STILL didn't start. So, we looked up the spark plug to replace it. I called a rental/repair business 1/2 a mile from our office in town. I figured that they rented my Toro model and would carry the right size. They said, won't work, it's your carborater. I had, "You'll shoot your eye out!" in my head when I left the shop with a new spark plug. So, I called my mower guy to fix it, 10 minutes up the road. He said the same thing, but he picked it up on Tuesday and brought it back fixed on Wednesday, $90.00 for the carborater and $90.00 for the labor. I thought it was a good deal.
Murphy's Law says that we will now have no snowstorms the rest of this winter.

 

[Nyboy]

yep not only no snow this winter but none next

 

[valley ranch]

.Next? Might get buried if snow ~ next year ~ one thing you can count on is ~ you count on what they say ```

Now that we have a "standing arrangement" with a guy to come and blade our driveway if it snows enough, we haven't had enough snow in three years.
