hmm...? have seen others strongly reccomend that Ethanol Sheild aswell..for preserving gasoline . For the next season.

The problem with the snowblower?????
I thought about it last night and decided what was wrong. The gasoline was old, several years old, and moisture had accumulated in the gas. So when I began to use it the moisture froze the input shut. So today I tested this theory.

I turned the snowblower to its side and drained out all the gasoline. Then I placed new gasoline in the engine and started the snowblower. It started fine and worked very well. So all I have to remember when the winter season is over with is to drain out all the gasoline from the engine.

Even though this snowblower is around 30 years old, it is well constructed and a good machine. The problem here is that humans are not as well constructed and they can break especially when they age and their brains are destroyed by a stroke, a massive stroke. My heart stopped. All the various valves in my heart came to a complete stop. And I died. This lasted for over 5 minutes. Then there was a massive surge of voltage that spread through my body. It was a final restoration event that was constructed in humans. And my heart started beating again. But the damage was already done. I had died. It is hard to come back from the dead.

I agree. That is especially true in the winter when we can't get the sun exposure for the body to manufacture Vitamin D. That is even more the case the further north one lives. According to Dr Michael Holick, (See http://drholick.com/), our ability to manufacturer Vitamin D in the winter ends at the latitude of Atlanta, Georgia.

I take it every day all year round.

In spite of an enlarged prostate, I have an easy time of urinating. At the time I started taking Vitamin D, it was taking as much as 20 or 30 minutes of initiating a stream. Now I am in and out of the bathroom in a minute or two.

When I had covid, I had a very easy time of it. I got tested because I was experiencing really strange and mostly unidentified smells in spite of losing almost all of my sense of smell about thirty years earlier. That only lasted about eight hours before it returned to normal, but by then I had already made an appointment to be tested. About the only symptoms after that resembled a mild allergy issue after about five or six days and lasting about four days. I actually stayed at work and ran the office and sent everyone else home for the duration.

I think that I had covid again about six months later but without the interference with my ability to not smell. I still had the exactly same"allergy" symptoms as before. I did go to the doctor, but was told that if they tested I would be in quarantine for ten days. I told him that the CDC and the state health department say otherwise -- the ten days is from the onset of symptoms, not the date of the diagnosis. We had an argument and I left without being tested.

One doctor was published in the Lancet saying that the fourth of his patients with the lowest Vitamin D in the body tended to have the worst outcomes and the fourth of his patients with the highest Vitamin D in the body tended to have the best outcomes.

For pregnant women and children, it may even be more important. There is some possibility that too little Vitamin D may be a cause of autism. Keep in mind that they may easily be other causes as well.

Gasoline does go bad over time.

It was another cold night in southern Indiana. The temperatures dropped down to 19.2 degrees F (- 7.1 degrees C) this morning. There is a slight bit of snow coming down. We had cleared off our driveway and I was able finally to get the problems worked out with our snow blower. A neighbor came by and helped with some of the snow removal down below.

But winter is coming and the temperatures will begin to fall down to below 0 degrees F tonight. So tomorrow will be a very cold, cold morning. It is the kind of weather when the water pipes buried underground might freeze. I have allowed my cat to remain in the attached garage for the past few nights so he could keep warm. But tomorrow I may have to bring him inside for a little.

I went outside and filled up the bird feeders. There are around 30 to 40 birds taking advantage of the little bit of extra food in a land filled of snow.

So true, so true.

We had a real big dump of snow here last night

Invest in shovels...? Its been a heavey storm so far...it has let up here. But still bitter cold
