The rewards

My Wonderful 1996 Mazda B2300 Pick Up

From the road space in front so others can park

18" plus

Beans Break

From the house note tracks

Market worth less than $1000 Value priceless. This vehicle starts first time every time even after long lay-offs. Has only ever broken down once see earlier blog. My fault no timing belt works forever!!! Drives through over 18" snow, saving on clearing snow. Dan would have done it with blower but may be dropped dead with heart attack as the snow is very heavy wet snow. Factors involved in this capability:

Snow Tires
High clearance
Two wheel rear wheel drive(all power just on those wheels) with full load of heavy wet snow on rear axle
Manual Drive allowing skilled driver to feel slippage/grip and adjust accordingly.
Great stratified charge engine delivering good torque

Hope to see it through to 20 years another 3 or maybe even 25 years life

Heavy Snow back to "The Good Old Times!!

Well we all thought we were in climate change until the last week of February and then we got this reminder of "The Good Old Times" views from all around the home.

Blue and white and white and white days

1. Not everyone knows about Boris the intelligent, shy mischievous brown bear who in the last two years has made his home in the area. This year as well as sending a card he sang Happy Birthday and left the message on the answering system . Then he erased it before I could play the recording to visitors. Mostly he just moves tools around, hides things occasionally and seems to be a measuring tape collector.
2. Birthday cards like Christmas cards I love to receive and leave them up for a while for company. I will put the Christmas cards up in the summer.
