I have watched much traffic here in open road and suburban NZ.
I have no reason to believe the US is much different.
A persistent number of drivers are either:
1/ Females driving with steering-wheel clasped-to-chest in sheer panic.
3/ Ethnic minority in unmarked van apparently unaware of traffic with unrestrained children.
3/ Old.
I forgive old, because they self-regulate,
all need to be dragged from their car or van, thrown face-down on the ground and made to recite clearly the name of the registered owner of the vehicle. Bleeding or not, visibly pregnant they must be able to who Oscar Wilde was.
Otherwise waste 'em.
cripples exempt.
See to it, America.

Now I'm completely confused.
Has the weather thawed sufficiently for you to exit your driveway yet, old man?
The driveway has been cleared for some time and the snow/ice is melting off nicely.Now I'm completely confused.

This afternoon work was started on snow blower mods. There is a very simple coil spring which is part of the equally simple governing device and the first step was to loosen it up a bit by removing a couple of coils and giving it a good stretch. This works in a way but does not give the motor the flexibility or zest I seek which appears to be available only at WFOT.
Tomorrow or Saturday, I'll run a cable directly from the throttle to the 'handle bars' and be done with it. Too bad I have no way of measuring the rpm but this is an area where insuring open throttle and adjusting the mixture by ear works well enough.
Surely there are laws against committing public nuisance like this.
If it happened in GodZone the perpetrator would be put in the town stocks. The crime? Noise without fair and reasonable consideration of others.
We do have terrible problems with chainsaw operators... I advocate summary execution, or some suitable religious damnation for these souls...

Everyone will know what you did by looking at your dirty ear---

Like hell.
Smaller-scale trains are meant to be almost silent, as am I.

There's no doubt in my mind that you will be wherever the rest of us renegades are.
Count me out.
Lorna has a neighbour who keeps exposing himelf and it ain't pleasant. Contractor truck driver.
He's nuts, lost load in crash he was 2x overloaded nearly killed some kids, and is full of "I'll fight"
F him.

For you or Lorna?
It works better with a hand held screwdriver?
I wish that some sort of external adjustment for the rich mixture had been installed, I once had an outboard with that along with manual timing adjustment.

They purposly leave stuff like that off so ham fisted lawyers can't mess with the settings. Same way they leave the law to people educated in that area.
Is this some kind of ceremony?
It sounds very quaint. Some sort of religious thing to do with internal-combustion engines?
Couldn't you just prostrate yourself and worhip the sun or something?
The governing mechanism has been discarded and the new throttle cable is in place but it turns out that the low speed jet is near impossible to adjust - I think the carb is either plain filthy or needs a rebuild.
The low speed problem comes as no surprise since it has given trouble for the past couple of seasons.
It also turns out that the auger is somewhat bent on one side, no doubt the result of picking up a newspaper.
The machine is but 11 years old and looks near new save for a tad of rust - perhaps our Robbie would want to buy it? It's much like his beloved Jags: bent, rusted and won't run right.
You should be out watching for wolves. Gun loaded. While the wimmin huddle inside with the children...
That would be Indians, not wolves. And the wimmin had loaded guns, too.You should be out watching for wolves. Gun loaded. While the wimmin huddle inside with the children...
