( swapping your snow blower for an icebreaker). Keep wrapped up!

(We import our weather from Bob in Canada.) Waseca is spitting distance from Iowa, and we have only been down to -10 Deg. F. Of course, the "orange beanie hat" made its way out of summer storage. As a concession to old age I have taken to wearing another thinner one inside it as a liner. The daughter calls them both "doofey," so I guess this is "doppeldoofey." The one big disadvantage about the cold is that my drill press won't work. It's in an unheated garage, and the belt gets so stiff that it won't hit the higher speeds. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Fri Dec 13, 2013 9:45 pm robert w Senior Member Joined: 12 Feb 2012 Posts: 574 Location: usa slavia, the real reason it wont work is the same reason mine wont work, we don't like workin in the cold . zero here is south west Missouri a few times and its not winter till the 21st _________________ ,crosman 400,gamo big cat in .22, diana 5g,diana 54 air king, diana 34 in .22 diana 34 in .177, wilrauch hw-55,and a romainian pioner training rifle , and a huge collection of powder burners 35 last count . 1 would think i have a gun store   Posted: Sat Dec 14, 2013 5:12 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND I think I’ll have to go along with Robert, it’s to cold to stay in the workshop for to long, or if it is a big job the I put on the heat and go back in an hour. There’s nothing worse than picking up a spanner and finding you can’t put it down, then having to dash into the house and run it under the hot tap to get it off. The joys of engineering!

I only did that once. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Sat Dec 14, 2013 10:28 am Mentolio Veteran Member Joined: 02 Jun 2013 Posts: 207 Location: Sadly, New Jersey ...BRRRRRRRRRRRR!!   Posted: Mon Dec 16, 2013 7:16 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Slavia wrote: Once I got the bright idea to make the drill press drive belt warmer and more pliable by shoving it down the front of my coveralls.
