Came to the rink to start clearing it of snow, but yesterday was -19 before the wind chill, and today it is snowing rather heavily. I do not know if it is worth it to begin clearing the snow off the ice if once I complete a pass just as much will have newly settled upon it in my wake. Seems futile if you ask me. Or is that defeatist of me to say? I’d rather wait for it to stop and get all of it once. I hate having to do the same things over & over again.
In other news I’m in need of ordering a new tool for Monday so that I can repair the bumper on the van. I damn near tore the whole front end off on the ice at the end of my driveway. Well, I think I bumped it pulling in tight to one side, and then scrapped it pulling hack out, and POP! Off she came. I am hoping with some wire mesh, and metal pins I can plastic weld the two brackets back together, and reseam along one side. It doesn’t need to be pretty, just hold together around town. I have it lashed down fairly well as it is. But if I can repair it a bit more I will feel better about it. Idiotic thing for me to have done. With the freezing temperatures we’ve had I should have known that wasn’t just snow, but an 800lb block of ice/wall. Totally my fault. God damn. If the repairs I have been eyeing up don’t work, then I need to fund the replacement of the entire front bumper. Foolish. Finger, arms, legs & toes crossed the planned repairs do what I hope they can for my particular predicament. I’d rather spend $75 and spend two to three hours fixing it, than dump $1,500.00 or more just on parts, I then have to pay someone to put it on the vehicle, and dispose of the old one. What a mess I’ve single handedly created.
