Why do you hate America, Penny?

F^ck this ice storm malarkey. I have enjoyed my visit so far down south but I am looking forward to 74F next week in LA.

Just rain so far her. 70 miles north they're getting ice and snow. Our schools are still out for some reason.

We got maybe 4-5 inches of snow the other day. And of course our snowblower, which we've had for only a year, would not start. My husband and I are both sick, so shoveling wasn't much of an option. He's a baby and refused to go ask our neighbor for help, so i did and our neighbor was nice enough to do our driveway for us using his snow blower. Yay for nice people.

Did hubby put stabilizer in the fuel tank or drain the gas out of the machine and run it dry at the end of last season?

There was no gas in there when we went to use it. We put fresh gas in first. It won't even run on the electric start.

If there was some gas in it last year and he didn't run it dry or put stabilizer in it, chances are the gas that was in the carburetor has turned bad and gummed up the carburetor and it won't start until it is all cleaned out. The carb has to be taken off and cleaned if that's what it is.

That's what he figures as well. That's his project for the weekend.

Oops, may have spoke too soon. There are getting to be some nasty looking clouds over the mountains to the east.
