Pool time I can deal with.

But They have this magic quest where the kids get wands and do treasure hunts. Which the boys are totally into. Waving your wand makes treasure chests open and pictures move.

But half the kids are unsupervised and just run around like mad. But that’s just kids being kids.

But some are being dragged around by parents. Who push the other kids out of the way and step in front of other kids waiting. Been shoved past on stairs and had a guy step infront of the one computer as my son was trying to set his quest and just take the computer over.

It’s a shame the rudeness being taught to the next generation.

Kids are having a blast though.

I have a buddy- basically went through a break up; got back in the saddle and started dating again. I met some of his potentials one was " hot babe" material- he chose the " sugar mommy" lol. Not like 70 yrs old or anything but I think 10 yrs older, anyway he's happy not broke, travels a lot, has a good sized sail boat ( I posted some pics of it in random pic thread I think) and was able to sit himself in an AMG, which no way in hell he could afford himself.

Not surprising - that happens in a percentage of the cases. It also does not cover all the flu strains each season so you can still get one of the others and/or the cold.

Despite what it may offer through the duration of membership that buy in is out of my league . Maybe when I retire and mortgage paid off but then I’ll be too old .

When traveling about in yer car when it's this cold, make sure you have a warm jacket, hat and something for your hands n feet. Never know when you could break down of being involved in an incident and have be out in the cold.
Also a good idea to make sure doors to all the rooms in your home are open and if any pipes are on an outside wall inside a cupboard, leave em open when it's this cold to prevent one freezing n splitting. I also tend to leave the furnace fan on at all times n keep temps turned up a hair higher than normal.

Typical Vapour barriers usually 6mil plastic film, have no R value and have no effect on your pipes, your pipes would freeze if there is not enough insulation around them or sections are exposed to non insulated areas.

Plug, wire, carb. Likely one of those 3.

Gas is good, Shell 91 with stabilizer. Checked continuity at the on/off key, good. Checked the wires, good. Pulled the spark plug, try starting with it almost touching the block, no spark. Pulled the coil, ordered a replacement. Hopefully the part comes before the next storm. I need to get this machine going as I clean a few driveways in my area.

Did you try changing the plug? I know you did the spark test, but it may be as simple a a bad plug. Happened to me last season with my Arien snowblower. No start no matter what, changed the plug and it fired right up.

I didn't... I checked the plug and cleaned it yesterday after the blower shut off. I wouldn't think a plug would malfunction all of a sudden while the blower was being in use.

It’s possable if the porcelain has cracked. Could be discharging to the block when installed. But will still start the electrodes when removed.

When I was running many years ago - I would welcome crazy weather and drop everything to go for a run in it - didn't matter what time of year even would call in sick to go out and enjoy it - some people would think I was maybe a little sick...lol

[True Blue]

Installed the new coil yesterday afternoon, blower fired up on one pull. The original "made in Germany" coil survived almost 20 years, lets see how long the replacement goes for. Thankfully it's up and running just in time for the Snowmageddon we are expecting.

I knew I was mental now it’s on paper...

Edit: I am down to maybe 1 bottle of beer a week!!! I could drink a lot but just don’t have much taste for it anymore... also started eating more and more vegan meals. I may be a card carrying soy boy liberal one day lol

I haven’t used my pull start. I plug it in, hit the primer and push the starter button. It’s awesome. However, I should probably pull the manual start cord once or twice a year so it doesn’t seize up.

Back to the snowblower saga... I'm finding the blower when idling sounds like it has a miss and a slight sputter. When under load eating snow the machine runs perfectly fine. Spark plug is set to spec. If I reduce the spark plug gap would it help?

I don't think that will work - maybe a bit of a choke issue could be a few things

[Blackmare]

Mine did that the last time I used it. Choke needed to be adjusted in my case.

[True Blue]

Thanks, I'm thinking the off shore coil is not up to the task. I guess it wouldn't hurt to check the choke adjustments.

[hammerhead]

as long as your getting spark the coil is working - but wear over time my be causing a bit of a miss if the gaps in the magnets are opening up a bit that feed the timing for the spark - that could be hard to rectify or you could be flooding a bit - not too many things to cause the problem but age and wear - maybe a new plug would help

[5.4MarkVIII]

Fuel filter? You said before it ran fine then quit all of a sudden. Maybe a clog/ partial clog.

just saw this post - 20 years wow that's almost old enough to have points...lol - if it was running a bit rough at idle I would think bad fuel or flooding a bit - maybe need to clean the needle and seat on the carb if it dried out over the summer months...could be just a little worn out too!

The blower ran fine before changing the coil, the gas is fairly fresh. We'll see how it goes, I'll try a few things that you guys recommended.

Yes, yes it is. This past Friday, an old colleague of mine who is now a supplier to my company, comes by for his monthly visit. We talk shop, some old war stories and have a couple of chuckles. Yesterday I get to work and a colleague tells that Rob died later that Friday. He was playing in his weekly hockey game, that he had being doing for years, the game ended and 30 minutes later he had a massive heart attack and died at the rink. Rest in peace Rob Parkhill, it was a pleasure knowing you.

Got a couple pms asking about booster paks. If your going to get one, spend the money on a higher amp model that is sure to have enough amps to start your car at these kinda temps. One below is what Ross got me for my birthday last year, huge punch at 2000amps. If your looking, buy one rated for at least 1000amps, opt for larger like I have if budget will allow. Be sure to use it from time to time and recharge as req'd for longer life.

[RedSN]

^^^what gauge are the cables? 2000A x 12V = 24 kW. That's the same power flowing into my entire house!
What is the output amperage of a welder? 200A? So that's 10X the amps of a welder?

I think the 15700J is a more telling spec. That's 4.3 Wh.


4.3 Wh / 24 kW = 0.000018 h = 0.65 sec.
So it can deliver 2000A at 12V for half a second.

[ZR]

Cables are less vs what you'd expect, run is short so smaller cable is fine. Just like when we've had the 3g alt feed wire discussions, it's about amps vs the run.
With that kinda push, booster pak like that takes it from a barely rolls over n will maybe start to whollly fawk what did you hook up to me and can't start fast enough. Even a dead flat diesel in a hotel parking lot when sledding last year at low temps rolled over with ease hooked to it.

ENOUGH ALREADY...........getting 20+ calls a day from free West Jet trip offers. Blocking numbers is no use, calling from different one every time.
Anyone have an idea how to stop?
Shutting phone off is not an option.

[Blackmare]

No good way that I can think of to block calls from multiple phone numbers. You could set your phone to Do not disturb and then only allow calls through from people in your contact list.
Don't know how far you'd get with a call to West Jet directly to complain.
If the contact name is the same, but different numbers, you could add them to your contacts and then block that contact. All calls from different numbers with the same contact name would be blocked.
I.E. if all calls come up Unknown or West Jet for example.

you should be able to find a glass company that could fit the existing window with a new E Glass pain - a window installation company may not want to do this and sell you the complete window and frame - but a glass company will - it would have to be measured and more-or-less be custom made - I wouldn't think anyone would carry an inventory on random sizes....
