VX is great in Y Select because food and drinks were free , regular Y did not look too bad .
PS - F looked really confortable.

The closest thing to this on the first post menu is #3.

Ok what kind of fortune is this " :)Your tenents will be recognized and suitably rewarded. :)" I hope that was a typo and it was supposed to be talents. The only "tenents" I have are free loading spiders inside and white tale deer outside and I don't think the spiders like the way I've rewarded them in the past.

They do not change the catering as a matter of course. You should get the meal originally catered.

I've learned the hard way not to put in my .02. but I slip every once and awhile because of :rolleyes: and get sucked into such things. It's impossible to win such arguements and your head hurts too much from pounding it on your desk while crying "but that's not what I said, go back and read it again, every word, and properly too."

It is inded an exercise in futility, but it at least shows others with a similar viewpoint that they aren't alone.

Plus, it's a sore spot with me so it got to me.

It is situations like the thread in question where I think it is just best to not comment at all.

From the radar maps it appears the snow may have stopped in NJ.

Yes it has stopped. It was raining before but as of now it's all clear.

In other news, I was outside clearing the driveway and sidewalk with my snow thrower I got from sam's club last year. They had a 26" Poulan 10.5hp Snow Thrower on clearance with the marked down price of 12" 5.5hp snow thrower for $349. The regular price is about $800 or $900. I wheeled that to the register, paid and high-tailed it the hell outta there. Anyways, when I was using it tonight, the wheel broke off. :mad:
Now I am gonna have to sift through the snow tomorrow looking for the bolts that held the wheel on.

Are you missing a real bolt or a pin with a ring that secures it in place? Oh check that belts are tightened properly. The people at Home Depot didn't put mine together properly and it wouldn't through snow very far until I spent and hour adjusting the belts and clutch.

I had fun blowing slush and water all over the place tonight. I'm sure what's left over will be a block of ice by morning.

I know, I know... That might even be outside of box acceptable comments.
But, for the life of me, I cannot understand how this happens... I know enough about my thirty something year old snow blower that it really doesn't care if its throwing snow or fingers. If my hand is going anywhere near the impellers, I not only shut the engine off, I pull the spark plug so there's no compression. And, even with all of that, I wouldn't stick my fingers into a potential pinch point. I like my fingers they seem to be pretty useful.
