[1816, also known as the ‘Year Without Summer,’ ‘Poverty Year,’ and ‘Eighteen Hundred and Froze to Death.’​

The eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia in 1815 triggered a change in the global climate. The heavier material fell to the ground and the ocean’s surface. However, when lighter particulates reached the stratosphere, they spread out and created an aerosol cloud the size of Australia.The cloud blocked sunlight from reaching the earth and changed the global climate by 2-7 degrees Fahrenheit, the effects of which devastated much of the world in what should have been the summer of 1816. Crops failed across Europe and the U.S. due to the cold or lack of sunshine causing grain and oat prices to soar, torrential rains flooded crops in Ireland, novel strains of cholera killed millions in India, crime became rampant, and people starved in many countries.]

I've tried a small powered "broom" /mini blower. Corded so that added to the fun.
Sitting in a chair and trying not to put any weight on my left side it gets stupid.
Let alone advancing.

Just back from shoveling and airing up plow truck tire again out back which likely has a leak.
Ladyfriend decided to go pick up prescriptions.
Guess where I hadn't shoveled yet? Oh yes. Hadn't got warmed up hardly and back outside for more. Plus I cleaned her vehicle off so I could shovel again where it all fell.
Ah well.
She wants to drive anywhere tomorrow I'll be on strike.

Ahh... you need a "sit in/on" small snow shovel... they probably don't make one.
Move to the city! Nothin' but asphalt!

I'm sorry that was just mean....

No city anytime soon.
Worn out joints will still shovel.

Gotta be careful how I move. Once in a while I move wrong.
Neck bones look like melting ice cubes from years back x-rays.
Lower back x-rays more recent explain why I have had it pop shoveling in years past. (Digging dirt and moving snow). It's healed though after being fractured. Just haunted.

Nerves don't know what to do post amputation. Between phantom pain (prior signal being sent in the absence of a requested signal to brain asking whats going on) and neuralgia of severed nerves fraying at ends trying to do something ; I want to not lean left. And there isn't much to hold me upon that side..

I'm alright. Just annoyed. Got to work smarter and take smaller bites of the elephant.

Morning Evan.

Because I was waiting for snow to stop before shoveling out front there have been two deliveries for the nonshoveler.
I shoveled a path after this picture so deliveries should quit now.

Anyone have any old issues they’d part with?

I have a box or 2.

Maybe.
Inch and a half over night?
It piled up good pushing it on the back deck shoveling. Then I broomed it. Then it snowed. Then I broomed it.

Where's the butt floss pics?

 

[releventchair]

That would clear the back deck.

Gave away the 10H.P. blower that pulled me out of the chair offroading to cut dog paths out back..
I'd get mad and go up and down the plowed road with it without the auger going.
Even debated about taking the blower off and using it to pull me ice fishing.

Caster wheels up front sink too much when off hard surfaces.Then become chocks.
I haven't tried the 5-600 dollar freewheel front wheel attachment.
Having tweaked/bent frames on two ridged frame chairs I really don't want to be hooking engines to any anymore anyways.

The freewheel just doesn't look like the whole deal will go through snow well.
Why spokes instead of a mag wheel? Why no brush guard?
Ect.

On real light snow a good leaf blowers works great cleaning off vehicles, steps, walkways.

These are cool...they run around on our beaches, Oregon company I believe.
I have heard of them being souped up, probably not the best idea though unless you are a younger person.
