So, what did you do today?

[jakedaawg]

Anyone wanna come wrap the last 15 or so boats, blew my knee and I so hate shrinkwrapping....darn torches get heavy for an old guy...

 

[jakedaawg]

Wow, we are up to 11 pages on this yhread...

 

[WIMUSKY]

jake any news about those 2 swept off the lookout near Marquette area?Im assuming their deceased your very unlikely to survive lake superior temps and 25 foot waves.

We saw it too, but no updates..... I'm sure it wont be good.

Snowing, grass is white...

They said the one hour avg was 28.8 foot waves speculating maybe some as high a 40 .My poor little ss160 wouldn't stand a chance.My brother said at his camp up on the montreal river east of superior 7 footers were abounding and trees were a fallin,plus it snowed a fair bit.https://www.sootoday.com/local-news...t-wave-height-average-on-lake-superior-750812

 

[82rude]

Well I figure I invented some new and descriptive swear words today .Put a new bearing and carrier (auger) in the toro snowblower today.Everything cool except for the 3 stupid bolts which were a major pain to keep in place.I believe I deserve a strip lion steak and mushrooms for din din tonight.

 

[jakedaawg]

Well, even with a knee the size of a softball I got three more dry and wrapped.

Looking more and more like I'll be having some more surgery if this thing doesn't pop back into place, the pain is getting to be more than the "daddy's little helpers" can alleviate...

Must be those little yellow pills messing with my count, I have been wrapping 3 or 4 a day for a week and I still have 14 to go....oh for the wish for an employee...

 

[82rude]

Wow cant find anybody to work ? Ive had about 10 knee ops including 2 total replacements and 1 reline so I hear ya on the knee thing.Im 59!

 

[WIMUSKY]

Moved 5th wheel to it's resting spot until mid March, hopefully. Then went Jeepin'........

 

[jakedaawg]

Woohoo, doc says I can get a cortisone shot in my knee. Getting old young is what I seem to have been getting done today.

Went to the oldmans this morning and put on his winter tires in the driveway.Took me 15 minutes to do all 4!4 off 4 on and trying to snow so i was speeding,lol.God bless that ryobi 18v lithium 1/2 impact !

 

[jakedaawg]

I don't remember what I did before my snap on 1/2" battery impact...life must have sucked!!! I can't think of a day I haven't used it if we were not just taking a day off....even then Its always in the truck.

[jakedaawg]

Well, "They" have forecast a miserable day. Rain into 5-8 of heavy snow...

"I" forecast that by the end of the day I will have put ballast in the truck and banged my head against a wall getting the blades on the trucks to plow the subs...

 

[WIMUSKY]

May burn a brush pile, but the winds are starting to kick up. Have about an 1" of snow on the ground that fell last nite. Talking below 0 highs figuring in wind chill.... Our average is the low 40s........

 

[82rude]
