Gotta love getting the flu. I’m discovering that I can hardly breathe when I lay down so it looks like I’ll be sleeping in the recliner tonight. I haven’t had something like this in a long time and forgot how miserable you can be.
Have you tried taking Airborne for relief?

The free beat to crap antique Craftsman 8-26 tracked snowblower was coaxed into operation with some judicious hammer tapping to get the sticky float to close and stop pouring gas from the carburetor and a big shot of starting fluid.
The new friction drive wheel I installed summer of 23 works well enough and keeps the treads spinning, but the still cracked frame makes the unit do a funny hitch, lurch and clank every now and again but doesn't seem to lock anything up.

Snow cone grade slush kept clogging the output and the chute locking it up making for fun prying the auger into rotating again. At least we didn't pick up a rock, branch or pinecone and sheer any of the blade pins although a dirt drive with lots of debris I keep a pocket full of sheer pins when blowing. Long walk back to the house if you snap one.

I mostly walked alongside and snapped the choke shut when it did one of its high load cutouts to keep if from a full shutdown and havening to pull that rope. 8 hp taint easy spin starting like them Briggs & Stratton 2 hp lawnmower engines. Fussy old machine but as little as we actually need one it doesn't warrant anything else. In a straight line it's easy enough to run it's turning that heavy pig around 180 degrees at the top of the drive that is the work.

I priced new tracked machines one day. Holy momma. I'd need to build a garage to keep it in, sheesh.

My snow boots are a couple of pounds I'm guessing, and it felt like I had an anvil strapped to that left leg. Damn, it really showed me how much I need to go on working that leg.

I still have shit for balance and wave my arms like I'm trying to take off and fly when I get off balance. Snow was treacherous under foot even with the shovel I was using to free up the blower for a walking prop / cane.

may have some AE77 Cali-O x Airborne G-13…


Interesting combo but the 2 Airborne G13 hybrids I had, while very potent I didn't like the buzz.

These Killer Queen F-3's will be the last time I bother with any Airborne G13 hybrids.

The G13 X Fig Widow is by far the strongest weed i've ever smoked. A universal day ender that had people asking me if it was laced with opium. But the high was more like an unpleasant whiskey drunk than a cannabis buzz. Unlike anything I've ever experienced.
