In case you didn't know, we got our first good snow of the year today in Massachusetts. I would say that here in Plymouth we got about 8" - 10" of the very WET stuff.
In an example of true irony, I used 0.040" stainless safety wire to engage the auger drive of my snowblower and override the inherent safety mechanism!
There was NO WAY I was gonna shovel this stuff the old fashioned way!
As far as the on topic conversation, this was the first time I actually had an opportunity to use my safety wire pliers that I got this past summer! I never had an occasion prior to this to use these cool little buggers!
I can't wait to use them again!

P.S. Bradley, now you know why I couldn't answer the phone! I was out blowing snow!
