yup

Hating it right now... I have to shovel off my driveway constantly so I don't get stuck with 8". That and the flipping snow plows put all of the snow from my street into my driveway :nonono:... oh what fun it is to live in a lousy cal-de-sac yay (my poor attempt at a x-mas jiggle :laugh:).

Oh so they actually plowed by you. How lucky. My whole drive to work today (at 2 in the afternoon!!) was unplowed. By the time I left work at 11:30, they were starting to get to downtown St. Paul. But when I drove into work, they hadn't salted 94 between WI and St. Paul.

I cannot believe what a monumental difference WI's 10 cent gas tax makes in their ability to maintain their roads. There should be some kind of ethical law that requires them to clear the roads every 4 hours or something when it snows for 24 hours straight.

Oh come on, free workout! :laugh: I had to shovel also, wouldn't you know the first snow fall the snowblower broke :blackeye: That belt that I thought could last a little longer, apparently could not... I drove all around looking for one, they all said I would have to order it because it was a "micro-v" flat belt rather than a normal v belt. Well I stopped at Napa yesterday for the heck of it and they had a bunch in stock :) I gotta go back later today though and get one just a little longer.

I also am making a parts run to Tousley tonight as well as a stop at New Brighton Ford to get my license plates for the truck.
 
lol whenever. carbs need to be gone through again? i'd just put all new mains and pilots in it, siphon the tank, and pull fuel through the pump and feed line tomake sure its clean. you don't ride it enough so it gets all gummed up lol
