effing snow here. And no sons to dig me out.

Life gives you sons and then, just when you can use them for REAL work, they run off with Ben-Gal cheerleaders....ingrates.

Plenty of snow here, too, coming down hard enough to make the woods look like a Robert Frost poem. Which winter storm are we on, again? Seems to me like it's been one continuous blow.

Excellent X-Country skiing here. I had to fix a mechanical on the tractor's snowblower yesterday and I have no replacement shear bolt...

glatt · 12-30-2012, 12:11 PM

Just use a regular bolt.

And cross your fingers that you don't hit anything solid.

fargon · 12-30-2012, 03:05 PM

Just use an ordinary grade 2 bolt.

Griff · 12-30-2012, 06:55 PM

Thanks guys, I did use a regular bolt I found (ssshhh.. its a secret) but I still need a spare.

BigV · 12-31-2012, 10:35 AM

what if you took the regular bolt and just sabotaged it with a hacksaw, weakening it at the place you expect it should shear?

Heck. make two, now there's your spare.

Griff · 12-31-2012, 11:19 AM

I'm thinking its not even necessary to weaken it if I use grade 2 like fargon suggested which the interweb tells me are bolts with no markings on the heads.

ZenGum · 01-03-2013, 05:22 AM

It's bloody hot.

41 today, 44 tomorrow, but the promise of a cool change in the late afternoon.

Bloody bad bushfire weather, had good rains until about 3 months ago, so there is lots of fuel about, but now it is dry as a dead dingo's donger.

Trilby · 01-03-2013, 07:37 AM

I looked it up. 44 = 111 degrees F.

Hoooooooooly Fuck! You poor Aussies!

It's currently 58F/14.5C here, with 99% humidity and an unrelenting, fine, misty drizzle. I don't know you guys elsewhere deal with this kind of weather all the time! Winter always kicks my ass -- I don't know how I'll ever leave Florida.

Trilby · 01-04-2013, 06:32 PM

58% with 99% humidity is really good for your skin (not that you need it!) but get out there and soak it up. girl!
