Spring update

This is going to be a short update.  March has come in like a lion and stayed that way. 
April projects will be finish the gearbox, order tires and look at purchasing a new helmet.  My old one is no longer accepted at the race events.  In May, it's work on the trailer and paint my new helmet.
Our most recent snow.

Electric back on line

Yes, no longer producing my own electric.  Feels good, no more generator tending.

Electric update day 6

Maybe tomorrow, the weather forecast is for snow all day.

The problem, pole and transformer down.

Electric update day 5

Nothing new to report.  The broken electric pole down road is still broken. It's very questionable if they will get to it before the next storm hits tonight.  The generator is using about 15 gallons of fuel a day.  It can run the whole night without having to add fuel.  That's good.
This is the storm that hit us the next day.

Electric update day 4

Still looking at Tuesday or Wednesday for electric.  The shop doesn't have a generator so no work as been done to the race car.

Electric update

Still no electric, but looks like it should be restored early Wednesday morning.  I bought this generator after Super Storm Sandy.   It's been sitting in the basement the last 5 years, maybe 3 hours of use.  For sure, it just paid for it self.  The cable was going on and off yesterday, but looks stable this morning.

Race car show

Was planning on going to a week long race car show held in a mall. But the weather has but a end to that idea. Must of had a foot of snow. Plus the electric went out yesterday afternoon. Been on our generator for the last 17 hours. Went for short ride, power lines down everywhere. It’s going to be awhile before the power is back.
