just got off the phone w/ the kids--Lower Saucon-Bethleham--they had about 8"Daughter was pissed--wondered why every time it snows,hubby is working,so she gets to play w/ the snowblower--starter is shot--I told her to cross the selonoid w/ a screw driver--not a clue-they're both RN's--thank God they know more about people then they do machinery

I had the wife do that on a motorcycle I was working on to show her how a solenoid works. One spark & she tossed the screwdriver up in the air & said F THIS!

Good luck with over-the-phone instructions!

The plow is down at the intersection of the court and other road - it's stuck! They brought in a Bobcat to move some of the snow but there isn't anywhere to dump it.

I'm glad we have no where to go tomorrow, either. Stay warm, Lisa

Yeah, that's not a confidence-builder when the plow gets stuck!

Smitty,I remember back in the 70's,Boston got slam dunked w/ a blizzard--I got a call up in Vermont & brought the 10 wheeler down--spent 3 days w/ bucket loaders cleaning streets & we dumped it in the harbor-----yep,nostalgia--things were simpler

Can't dump snow in the harbor or river anymore. Lots of other stuff is in the snow, it has to be separated out first.

Yep,I was going to mention that--my God--if DEC or whatever Mass. has over there--I'm sure they'd go out of their minds--like I said--simpler times

That was back when EVERYTHING went in Boston harbor!

Bodies, raw sewage, industrial waste, medical waste -- you name it, it's in there! Even prompted the Standells to write a tune about it!

Now if a drop of pee hits a storm drain, they call out the EPA!!! Times sure have changed!!!
