cowpuc Posted January 7, 2017 Share #51 Posted January 7, 2017 We just got slammed with that wave of cold air that saddlebum promised. But at least we were able to crack the zero°F mark even though the wind chill is still around -20°F. Might have to go out and see if I can get all of the machinery calibrated after Yammer Dan messed with stuff, at least enough so that it is not all landing on poor ol cowpuc. But then where to send it............:scratchchin: Well I made another trip to doc to get looked at, he said it is healing well and has raised my weight restriction to 50 lbs. But there is still a LOT of swelling that he did not like so I go back for another look see in 2 weeks. He said that the swelling is due to fluid buildup and if it is not going down in 2 weeks then he will have to harpoon me with a LONG needle to drain off the juice. That just don't sound like fun. The good news for some is that I can at least start to wear pants again, at least for a little while........... Got er adjusted just about right there brother!!! Only a dusting of 5 inches or so here on its way to share with all your friends and those :stickpoke:down south who been begging for it = GREAT JOB JEFF!! Needle draining off juice:(,, your right,, that sounds like NO FUN!! Prayers Up that you wont have to go that route!! Also glad you can finally put chur pants back on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

snyper316 Posted January 8, 2017 Share #55 Posted January 8, 2017 No problem, when I find missing stuff I just make it newer and better and add more power..................... I'll take the snow, but that other crap I can do without. People around here seem to think they have four wheel drive and can still do the speed limits. I was in a Ford Explorer in 2001 the girl behind the wheel was doing 60 on I-44 which was a sheet of Ice!! We all told her she needed to slow down. She told us it would be ok she was in four wheel drive. Not even 5 minutes later we were getting pucked around by a Freightliner. My seat belt did not hold me in place, when we settled two more Trucks were coming straight at us. I got out and made the girl move because she was totally out of it so I could get the truck off the road. I have no clue how I went to look for help. The next day I woke up feeling like I got in a fight with a Mack truck! So fool hopefully you get it all tweaked out by this weekend, So far they are still calling for a mix of everything this weekend:crying: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyinfool Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share #57 Posted January 8, 2017 HEY! I gots a big 4X4 truck............................... The only time I ever been in the ditch (not counting ditch runs on purpose) was when a semi crossed over the center line to pass a slower car and the ditch looked a lot softer than the front of that semi.

bongobobny Posted January 8, 2017 Share #60 Posted January 8, 2017 I agree, Alan, maybe Saddlebum needs to leave the door open for a while longer until that darn Lake Erie freezes over, shutting off the Lake effect machine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share #61 Posted January 8, 2017 Well this thread has not helped because you are right, laughing hurts..............ouch! I get my water from Lake Michigan, this lake has only froze over twice in my life that I know of. So my water supply seldom goes away........

cowpuc Posted January 8, 2017 Share #62 Posted January 8, 2017 I agree, Alan, maybe Saddlebum needs to leave the door open for a while longer until that darn Lake Erie freezes over, shutting off the Lake effect machine... Bum did that to Lake Michigan a couple years ago Bongo,, I remember it vividly cause I was hoping for the same thing - only problem was, the slick ice topping on top of the lake gave Fool the chance to readjust his the angle of the output nozzles on the Wisconsin White Washer = was able to aim them directly at his buddies house (me) on the other side of the pond, kicked on his newly built SnoperCharger and WOOFF - direct hit closed us in with 10' of powder!!! Never under estimate the ingenuity that can come forth with those two varmints when they put their devious minds to work together ,,, another really strange thing happened during that time... Tip n I took a putt (in the car) down by the Lake and noticed that we could actually see the lights of Milwaukee where @Flyingfool lives. This NEVER happens - at least that I ever saw. I saw those lights and told Tip = LOOK AT THAT,,, Jeff must be up to no good,, probably found a way to tweek Waukees power output to spin up the SnoperCharger a little faster.. Sure enough, by weeks end, 10 feet of pure Wisconsin White Washer white out all over our yard!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videoarizona Posted January 9, 2017 Share #63 Posted January 9, 2017 ....you guys had it rough. I only had to walk 3 miles up hill both ways to school! I do love winter and snow, but had a very hard time in 2013 living on Newcastle Island in New Hampshire. It wasn't the cold, snow, or ice that got me, it was being cooped up for the winter! Guess after 40 years of Arizona, i was used to going out and playing 24/7/365. I couldn't go out and work on boat, it was under six feet of snow. The scoot was in a storage unit...I would visit it and sigh. Nope, didn't like that at all. So moved back. It's true, you can't go home again.... So.... Do enjoy your winter.... And I'll munch on hot dogs with rum ball chasers sitting on my back patio... Deciding which scoot to ride tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride for an hour n instant Hot Dogs for everyone!!! ,,, not sure why I wrote that David,,, maybe some kind of twisted self defense or something,,,, think Tip n I should move to Jerome - might be time to suck in that BEAUTIFUL dry heat out there!!

Got a lot of catching up to do!!! I'll be keepin a close eye on you to, You know that with all of the fancy aiming optics that I have I will still catch you even if Tip just happens to blink that evil eye for just a second. Hourly may not be often enough to keep you in line. I'll have to have a talk with her. I am trying to work out the details for making the international this year. Still planning to make it to Dons MD. Who knows who I might bring with me this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
