Getting things ready. Yesterday the emergency generator, the new snow blower, and the lawn tractor (gots to keep that mower ready for springtime) were all topped off with fuel and their internal combustion engines exercised (breaking the obnoxious silence of the early morning). Today I made a fuel run; 10-gallons of standby gasoline may sound like an adequate amount but ...
... there have been many winters when 10-gallons of gasoline only got me to the midpoint before I needed to make another fuel run. Then again, maybe I'm at the age when I need to curtail my habit of helping neighbors during crisis situations. If I limit myself to just doing my driveway that should be plenty of fuel. Sorry folks, but I'm getting too old for this shit.
