The results of yesterdays snowfall looks like we got our fair share. Anyone want some ? I looked around first thing today and dug out my can of Snow Seal and greased up the work boots ,they needed it. Now to see if we can breathe life into the snow thrower . 

     She's a cold one today ! Snow has been falling all day . I'm glad  I have a 4X4 truck I will need it to get out of the driveway. Made a run to town earlier and it wasn't a speedy journey , probably did not go much more than 50M.P.H. I was not really in a hurry so who cares! Friday I helped a friend fetch a truck he won on an auction. we ran down to pick it up in Broadhead  before the weather got ugly . We had to fool around with it to get it running the batteries are about shot . We didnt have jumper cables with us. (Both of us have multiple sets but did not grab for operation) Jiro had a jumper box but it was not up to the task. we ended up finding an auto parts store and getting jumper cables and a can of starting ether (AKA Throttle in a Bottle ) went back to the municipal garage and after a little more fooling around the ol binder was running . we made our way back and finally got back to the ranch  about 2;00 PM. Knowing we had ugly weather on the horizon I suggested to we ought to keep going rather than park it here .so we kept on rolling and got it to his farm in Adams  Friendship about 3;30 . We dropped off the binder , trailer (another story)  and made our way back . Had to stop in Portage at Runnings and grab some dog food and scooby snax  .by the time I got back to the ranch I was whipped. I'm glad we got all of the running around done before the weather went south. Even got a bit done around here as well.

    It is a holiday week , Thanksgiving tomorrow , and Deer Hunting this week here in Wisconsin. At the plant , most of the Engineering team is off , and the Maintenance supervisor is off this week as well ,so we are short handed .Monday we had a 7.5H.P. motor fail that ran a ventilator we need to run our black oxide coating process . It ended up being an "All Hands On Deck " kind of situation the day shift guys dug in and did the grunt work , I dug out the spare motor Jake the Process Engineer helped with the electrical end , and after the day shift guys ran out of time , I got the sheaves lined up , tightened up the belts ,and buttoned it all up and cleaned up the crime scene . I think it was a good team effort , every one got to help out and make it happen . I think the boss will be happy with our performance when he gets back.
