Last winter, I should have changed the oil in my snow thrower.

I did not.

I only used the thrower once (THANKFULLY for the health of the thrower!)

And then…

Spring.

Summer.

Fall.

GAH!

No thrower maintenance.

No, I waited until a COLD day in January (13F) with a Winter Storm on the way (7-11 inches of snow forecast) … to change the oil in the thrower.

I can be an idiot!!!

Despite notes from previous oil changes …

Although I did put a large garbage bag underneath to catch mess and I did have several large pans…

what I really needed was:

For next time.

BUT, I did get the oil changed and also did a clean up of walk and turn around mid-storm.

We are keeping an eye on the weather …

The storm warning is in effect until 11:00 a.m. tomorrow – Friday.

Meanwhile, we are warm and safe and no need to go anywhere – YEA!

I am … well, I was leaning Republican until 2016.

Mostly, I believe in “Democrat” values, but the fiscal conservatism and hands off government of “Republicans”

I believe that we should all work together, to find compromise to work for the good of all which might mean we do not get all we individually want.

I am appalled by the administration 2016-2020 and also by the events of 1/6/2021.

I believe that President Joe Biden tried to avoid a divisive and confrontational stance, but it became unavoidable.

I watched and listened to the speech. If you are a U.S. Citizen, I believe it is worth 24:53 minutes of your time.

I dearly hope that we remain the United States of America.

Go Joe and all of our current government … for the people and by the people … I pray.
