"Ernie's rule."

 I called and asked for Ernie... She said "no, he's outside working on
the snowblower". I asked her "why, is it going to snow tonight". She
answered, "no, whenever Ernie goes outside and get's the snowblower
running it doesn't snow, but he hasn't figured that out yet".. LOL!

So The other day we put away about a hundred gallons of water and bought
gas, pulled the old generator out of the basement and got it running.
So, of course when half the state was out of power, we were fine. Then I
remembered that I needed to connect the generator to the house so I
didn't have to run extention chords everywhere, and I didn't have the
parts in this house.. So of course about a half hour before dark, 12
hourse after the storm hit and as it was leaving the state, we lost
frekin' power... So I head out to find the part and can't find it, come
home sweating like a pig, and find one in the shed. Of course minutes
after I prepared the box and wiring to feed power in, the power comes
back on. Thank God I found the part in the basement or the power could
still be off;)

 
Having a generator is the best insurance there is for not having a
power failure.  Especially if it is a new one.  And yes, a brand new
snow blower does just about guarantee a snow-free winter (although it
didn't quite work out that way for me last year).

Proof that it's NOT all about you!

Based on last year's snow I bought a season ticket for next year.  This
means that either I will suffer a debilitating injury in November or the
only snow will be what they make.

Well, that means a bust ski season for me, unless my tractor breaks
down.

I second that, 100% !  We were once doing a mmountain road trip from
Vienna, over Carynthia, into Southern Tyrol crossing the Italian valley
to continue over the Italian hills into Florance.  Very daring plan
for May, last year we got rained on well.  So that year I packed an
umbrella, the non-folding 30" verion across my rear fender.

Looked very weird, but kept us dry, all the 600 miles.

PS: when I was a kid my dad once joked, that the best way to prevent
being on a plane with someone carrying a bomb would be to bring
your own bomb an not detonate it.  Sounded convincing, what's the
odds that two people board, each with a bomb?
