Well, I finally summerized [1] my snowblower today. Good until fall, now.

Yes, it's the prairies. I thought about doing it around the 3rd week of April, but we had two big snowstorms between then and now, so I'm glad I didn't.

[1] Drain most of the fuel, run it to burn the rest off and warm the oil, then change the oil.

"Honey, do you know where the snowblower key is?"

"Hmm... let me think."

"Okay."

"Oh, I know. It is in the upper front pocket of the winter coat of that man who was part of the divorcing couple who sold us the house three years ago."

(I'm an enby, but I'm sure they'd remember me as a "man".)

Yeah, I cleaned to upper front pocket of my winter coat and found what's in the image below. 🥲

I just spent 45 minutes playing with my #SnowBlower and cleaned up about 70% of yesterday's snow. It is currently -27°C so I ran out of body heat before battery juice. But it's sunny with bright blue skies so it only feels like -31°C with the windchill.

We've been pretty fortunate so far this year. I've shovelled a number of times, but this was the first time I needed to get out the snowblower this season.
