Hey Cam,

This reminds me of when I was around 13 or so, my buddies uncle built a chair for his neighbor that incorporated a lawnmower engine and a greatly shortened snowmobile track. The Rear wheels could be raised or lowered (with a lot of effort) for non-snowy surfaces, He couldn't make it steer very well at all and the owner kept turning up the governor to unsafe levels, but I'm sure with today's technology, a much better version could be crafted.

Snowing here today, but that's as it should be.


With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

That is pretty darn cool. When my dad and a friend of his get some drinks in them they frequently talk about rigging up a plow for the front of my wheelchair. I've seen a couple videos on YouTube of people plowing snow in their wheelchairs.


The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

Oh dear. Did they burst or just freeze?

-21F (-30C) is pretty freaking cold. We hit -7 here the night before last , and -4 last night. I am officially ready for spring.

Can you use like a heat gun on them to get them thawed enough to start running a trickle of water through them? I don't know, I've never had to deal with frozen pipes. Never had to deal with -21 either.

Seriously, good luck.

And call your insurance agent now if you don't already have flood insurance.

The house is still up for rent next door Mark, Current Vero Beach Weather, downright cold and blustery for us.

Seriously, good luck up there.
