Title: Got snow?
Post by: trojan on January 09, 2009, 10:48:31 PM: So you live in an nonviable part of the world :P and you wife is constantly interrupting your buggy building with demands about shovelling snow off the driveway....

Post by: trojan on January 11, 2009, 06:10:42 AM: There's a brass monkey in my family tree ;D

That's a f-load of snow....
Seriously, could something like this chip away at it?
Title: Re: Got snow?
Post by: SPEC on January 11, 2009, 06:26:23 AM: ;D
Prolly not,
My loader lifts to 6 feet and I'm running down the block to dump snow
This bad boy even has trouble with this much snow,
This year I think we are about 10'' over the average for snow
But I think this is more like the snow's we had when I was a kid...A couple of blizzards a year that would dump 2 to 4 feet in one storm
Title: Re: Got snow?
Post by: SPEC on January 11, 2009, 06:27:53 AM: Oh ya, The sky is falling now again...supposed to be 2 to 4'' ;D Last time they said that it was 2 feet :o
Title: Re: Got snow?
Post by: trojan on January 11, 2009, 06:33:41 AM: I realise it's "a little small" but I was thinking since it's autonomous it would get to it while it was snowing so it perhaps keep up with the fall?
Title: Re: Got snow?
Post by: Boostinjdm on January 11, 2009, 06:59:38 AM: the way the snow falls in this part of the country, that thing would either never get to sleep or it would be buried while working.
Title: Re: Got snow?
Post by: SPEC on January 11, 2009, 07:37:18 AM: It's an AWESOME LITTLE MACHINE...Maybe if it was 3X the size :-\
But Boost has a point around here (this year anyways) It prolly would ge buried while working..
Our problem is the fookin snow stays for 4 monthe straight...It's not so much pushing it ...As it is where the fook to put the shit...I was thinking...Maybe I'll box it up and sell it to guys who don't have any
:m
Title: Re: Got snow?
Post by: Boostinjdm on January 11, 2009, 07:55:05 AM: you find a market, you let me know. I'll even throw in the yellow snow and poop-sickles as a free bonus. ;D

Post by: artie on edge on January 13, 2009, 01:40:40 AM: wow..... hot, damn hot. 42 degrees c here (110 f) didnt get the surfboard out today.. too many sharks. 4 attacks in the past 10 days, 1 fatal. Damn whitepointers. Salty crocs are a bit active too lost one guy checking his crab pots recently its getting busy here. Blue ringed octopus are a bit active as well, no fatalites yet this year but thats not through their lack of trying.

A pretty quiet year here in Oz, not a lot of stingers in the water so its ok to go for a dip if you keep an eye out for the crocs sharks and octopie. (dont forget the stone fish... nasty)

God I love living in Gods country.... oh and dont forget for the toxic red lagae.. thats not good either. Damn sea snakes arent real friendly, most venemous snake in the world... all 32 species of them.. all of which live in our warmer water....

Did I tell you that of the most venemous 12 snakes in the world 10 of them live here? Not sure I mentioned that... almost the same with spiders... our female funnel web hasnt killed anyone for a few years now... since we developed a workable antidote.... man hurts like crap though...

Such a great place to live... breeds the locals tough however... yeah fabr we do self circumsize.... croc fighting training 101 "self circumsicion, dont get tripped while fighting your first croc, remove the loose ends".

Bloody hell its good to live in gods country.....

Post by: SPEC on January 13, 2009, 04:53:29 AM: You AUZZIES...
It's -18 here _ 28C for you 40 to50 MPH wind, Putting at minus 65* windchill...This crap will kill you quick, or frost bite you so bad you'll wish you were dead...
Sharks...You guys got that backwards...Sharks ARE TASTEE, your supposed to be eating them...NOT THEM EATING YOU
Salty Crocs...IF THEY TASTE LIKE ALLIGATOR THEY ARE TASTEE TOO...AND YOU GET A HAND BAG TO BOOT
Blue ringed octopuss...I wiki'd those ...they are cool lookin...You step on them and they bite?
As for the ICKY spiders you need a can of RAID...
I dunno about your poisonous snakes there...But the piosonous snakes here...Well Rattlers are DAMN GOOD EATING ;D

Post by: Boostinjdm on January 13, 2009, 07:58:55 AM: the winds we had last night were blowing my truck sideways off the road. My trip to walmart felt like a 25 mile powerslide....on the gas, wheels turned. What do you think it would do to that little thing with the big "sail" on the front? The cold was so bad this morning, i had to go fix a farmers blower and my open can of pop was freezing while I was drinking it, and it was inside the truck. I don't think the batteries in that thing would last long in the cold.

I already tried to stir that pot....... I think they moved it where tender eyes can't see (Read VIP). It didn't go far, It seems everyone believes AL GORE. ;D ;D He's our national hero! :P :P :P ::) ::) ::)

Post by: artie on edge on January 13, 2009, 04:22:54 PM: then there is the more 'common' Emu... loveable lil bird... http://www.metacafe.com/watch/yt-pQM_MyoIZ0c/friends_of_wilber_when_emus_attack/
Title: Re: Got snow?
Post by: artie on edge on January 13, 2009, 04:25:55 PM: Actually all three have a 'bad' side. If you watch the Emu's legs it kicks really high and fast. It has a middle toe like a dagger and can actually disembowel you in an instant. As can the Kangaroo and the Casowary, they all kick out to fight...

The guy in the video with the Roo (kangaroo) had something like 30 stitches in his groin. Nice lil Roo.....

Mostly they are quite friendly and sociable... and thats the problem.. lil kids go up to pat them and whack...
