When Irene came through, we had a Trap shoot scheduled.

We shot.


[wink]

that's awesome!
 
I lived 23 years in Buffalo. They've already had a foot of snow today and their governor didn't close all the roads.

Deval is a whimp!
 
Peak isn't suppose to hit for another 7 hours, and blizzard conditions don't hit for another 3. So far, so good. Most likely a "Meh, it's New England"
 
Cleared 2 feet of snow from the driveway last night about 10 PM. Woke up to 3-4 feet plus of drifting snow this morning. Think I'll wait for the neighbor to crank up his very large bucket loader, hope he doesn't forget about me!
 
Around 2 feet of snow, 4 foot drifts. This stuff is so light and fluffy, it's difficult to snowblow; the wind just drops it right back on the driveway, can't get any distance.
 
This storm was nothing. I even took the Mach1 out for a ride.

The only trouble i had yesterday was with the carb compliant gas can. I vow to resist this sh!t.
Yeah, you wind up spilling so much fuel that there's no emissions benefit at all.

The only can I've found worth buying is the No-Spill, available at Honda dealers and online. They have a button that opens a vent, and you can buy a flexible extension tube so you don't have to tip it all the way up. Highly recommended.

I ordered plastic diesel jerry jugs out of Canada. The shipping is expensive but they have vents; quick pouring and no spillage. Worth it.
