So, I gave BLACK GHOST a bubble bath & put it in the garage until mid March.
I did have a BLACK GHOST 1970 HEMI Challenger with an automatic back in the mid 70s, that I should have kept.
I can't believe it's 55 degrees here in Pittsburgh today.




I put more miles on my lawnmower!!!

I did something I said I wouldn't do... Hooked my trailer up and drove to pick upa snowblower! It was about 25 4miles awy and it never would have fit in the back. I did take it easy and drove like the proverbial old lady, and I got a bit nervos when we passed a sheriff car checking speeds (I guess) as I don't have any wiring for the trailer lights. I doubt the trailer and blower weighed more than maybe 400 lbs but no problems until I attempted to back into the yard. I used the new (to me) snowblower to cut through the snow plies by the street and managed t get the trailer into the yard but tha was about it. too much snow for a FWD car pushing a trailer. As long as it is out of the way and off the street since they are predicting snow in the next couple of days.

I did order a light wiring set that plugs into the tail lights and tee's to the trailer for next time??

P.S. It handled the trip like a champ!

You will like the snow blower :) Beat the shovel lol,, FYI if you spray the shute and blades with Silicone it help keep wet snow from sticking !

Congratulations on the snow blower purchase! And the trailer lights hook up, very easy to install.

Today, I tackle the rattle under the HHR, a rivet pulled thru the heat shield so, I have to fix that, the rattle is very annoying on startup!

I use a small 4x8 trailer with mine all the time. I can just toss all kinds of things in it and you couldn't pay me to maintain and put gas in a truck.

It's always bumper season.

I bumper stunned an owl who didn't look both ways before crossing the road. Thought he was dead for a while and then it started perking up slightly. I finally dropped it off at the wildlife center. Looks like it might be OK once the concussion wears off.
