Officially it is Spring. By now snow storms are a rare event. Somebody forgot to tell Mother Nature. We got 10.5 inches the last few days. Maybe global warming has something to do with it.
My snowblower has been tested this winter. I store gasoline in a 2 gallon container and usually I have to make one trip during the winter to refill the container. I did that. I was down to almost no reserve of gas. I figured that I had enough for one more snowfall? The last snowfall event lasted 36 hours and was heavy and wet. By the time the snow arrives it is too late to run to the gas station. I snow blowed the first time. I still had some gas. I snow blowed the second time and I had fumes left in the gas tank of the snowblower. I am now out of gas. If we have no more snow, I am in the perfect situation. My gas does not “age” and lose it’s octane and I can get fresh stuff in the Fall. If it snows, I have no gas for the snowblower and I can’t clear out the driveway and sidewalks. I save $7 by not filling my 2 gallon container. Am I tempting fate if I do nothing. Exciting stuff.
Badgers basketball team lost and the NCAA tournament has lost some of it’s luster. The term “blown up brackets” comes to mind. Lots and lots of upsets.
It looks like I will beat Brother Jerry in my NCAA picks.
Grasshopper No.3 seems to be fading in the NCAA bet.
Grasshopper No.4 might edge out a victory over me. It is tough to make a prediction because it is so close and I have to deal with his being obnoxious.
Stay warm.
Love,
Dad
