The sun’s out, temperature has been above freezing this past week and a bit, causing quite the snow melt down. I took the snow thrower out and ran it to drain the carb dry and gave it a good wash down in preparation for a well deserved sleep. This temperamental biatch served me well this past winter, after two carb re-builds and an intake gasket, complained the odd time but through it all but did what she was supposed to do, throw snow.
Now that’s behind us, parked for the season, I unplugged the battery tender and pulled the other lady out today from under the covers and set her in the middle of the bay. I haven’t seen her colors since the beginning of November. Wow, what a sight! Stuck the key in and gave it two cranks and a little twist of the throttle and awake she did, Two Bro’s rumbling, singing like she was just running yesterday. The wife popped her head through the garage door and said “I know that sound!”. Yup, the sound of summer I said back to her with a big smile.
Gawd, I hope I didn’t jinx it.
