Since this Administration has proven it has no intent of obeying laws like this it has no problem whatever signing them. These laws are just for the “little people”, not the almighty dictator and his entourage.
There was just enough snow on the driveway yesterday to run the snow machine over it. I did a much better job this time. I finished sooner and didn’t blow as much back into my face.
It was a lot colder out so I’m glad it didn’t take as long, only about a half-hour. My fingers and toes were a bit frosty by the time I finished though.
I also spent some time yesterday messing with my old snow blower and finally got it running again. It has a two-cycle engine and the carburetor was all gunked up with oil after the gas had evaporated out back whenever I had last used it. I never used it much because it was too small to really do any good out here in the country.
I bought it some thirty years ago or so when I was living in Pekin. I took it into Pekin and let my sister DD have it so she can clear her little driveway. We spent some time with me showing her how it works. She was blowing snow every which way when I left.
The temperature was 6° and dropping when we went to bed at 10:30 last night.
Noah got home about an hour later and he couldn’t get the garage door to close. The grease gets so stiff on the door rollers it creates enough drag to cause the door to reverse itself and open the door again.
This is part of the safety feature to keep it from squishing somebody or burning up the motor if the door hits something before getting completely closed.
Noah said he finally quit trying to get it closed and left it partially open. We may have some snow blow into the garage but it should be all right.

The old outside thermometer reads .5° this morning and it sure feels like it. The sun room fireplace is blazing away and the room won’t get any warmer than 58°.
The rest of the house is a comfortable 70° but the furnace is running quite a lot. At the price of propane what it is I can only hope for a heat wave!

Do you just hate those garage doors! I remember we had one that would have problems all the time so we finally just pulled the string and lift it manually. Its a nice feature but also a pain in the rear.
