Ahh, rapidly approaching my favorite part of Christmas, the end.
The falls upriver are so phat I could prob run them in my old twin jet, not so much in the mini
Did a quick flight to check on the logs at the top of island, Neighbor had a huge tree come down this morning and hang up on the docks.....again....Thinking I am digging the Hero 10 and its settings thus far. Stupid plane was coming over and the ceiling got limited on me.
Probably catch it waiting in line for next test. Fuuuuu
4 negatives. Hannah - 2 home, 1 PCR, 1 rapid. Dr said she just has a good old-fashioned viral infection. Still wants her in a mask when gma/mil is here, but we're free to live again.
I also came back negative.
Jetforce Tour 26L "super-capacitor" pack.
Cheaper than dying.
A friend moved down to South CB this year,, by cement creek. He says It's absolutely nuking.Looks like Crusty Butt might get 40" in 24 hours.
Saved about $700 buying von Deutschland.
Just tested out the new electric snowblower. It is BADASS.
But, oh, man, would my PT be PISSED at me if she knew what I was doing three weeks out.

Cute.
Where's the one that works on ice
Yeah, I saw those 5* 4 months old reviews.
So, @StiHacka , to give you an idea of the power of the Ego, my neighbor borrowed it, and ran over a piece of rebar. It twisted the rebar up like a pretzel, without a single bit of damage to the snowblower. Kind of ridiculous.
Make a fool of Tony Ellsworth?
can clear up to 8" of dense snow
It’s apples to apples. I can only compare it to my gasser, which struggled with wet snow more. (They are equivalent in size). The electric one can throw the snow like 25-50 feet, and you can control exactly where. If you wanted to compare it to a much bigger one, you would have to assume Ego had one that ran on four batteries. I cleared 14” of dense snow today, no problems at all.
Should get another 40” or 50” in the next ten days, I’ll keep you updated.

I'm going to be nice and not post all the amazon reviews on that thing. I'm glad it's working for you. But please for the love of jesus do not think for a second that compares to a decent sized honda or ariens. And yes I've been seeing those things around here. Usually a honda ends up in its place in about 2 storms.
I had meant to change the oil in our snow blower before this winter, but we've only had 3" of snow this winter so not in any hurry...
My gasser is a Honda. And there are two models, one is crap.
This is the one.

EGO 56V 2-Stage Snow Blower Review
The EGO 2-Stage Snow Blower raises the bar for what you should expect from a battery-powered snow blower. Check out our review!

Is a Battery Snow Blower Worth It?? Ego 2-Stage Review - Undecided with Matt Ferrell
I just replaced one of the last gasoline-powered machines that I own: my 10 year old Ariens snow blower. The replacement? The brand new Ego Power+ 24 inch self-propelled 2-stage snow blower. We all know that batteries and the cold don’t go well together, so how does the Ego Power+ Snow blower...

Does this Ariens Deluxe 24-in 254-cu make my ass look fat?
Mr Plow is down with the Covid, and his helper doesn't appear to be doing my driveway...
But I just spent 4 hours to drive 1/2 mile while waiting for my turn to get escorted the last 9 miles of ID-20 to Mack's Inn which was "closed" due to subpar visibility, drifting snow and sideways wind, I was just happy to be able to drive up to my house, and would've walked the 5 blocks from the hwy if need be...
In a pinch I could clear myself out to the first plowed road if snowed in with this bad larry and enough dinosaur piss.
It would appear the road closure has also created an early vacancy at Mr. Plow's AirBnB, so I better check the water temps in his outdoor tub
ETA: I suck particularly at remembering to drain/change oil/gas every winter in the mower/snow thrower so brushless rechargeable would totally be my jam in BZN / more urban environs...

I have to concede that the Ego would not be good enough for MR’s locale!
8am
day........literally lost count
been spending about 3-5hrs a day moving snow for the last week
Yeah, that would need more firepower. We don't actually get that much in town per storm, usually.
@kidwoo , blower update, this thing kicks ass for light residential use. We got about ten inches of upside down snow, it was basically raining at 4:00. My honda would have packed up and quit in this type of 'snow'...the Ego blasted right through it, down to the concrete and dirt. The batteries almost made it, but this thick snow is rough. I have spares on the way. Quite impressed.
Post pics of the dog so we know you haven't eaten him yet
I think it would be the other way around.
I catch him staring at us when we wake up........
Can’t you get like a bore-heatpump underdeck heating system or something? That’s hours of your life.
Or, you could buy a second home…
