i have snowblower with a rubber push type primer. you know, push the primer 3-4 times, pull the rope and snowblower starts. the last 2 times i tried to start my s.b. the primer would not push/pump---it felt like it was plugged or somethimg as when i tried to push it, it was just tight (?) felt like nothing was releasing out of the back side. it was like pushing on a balloon or tennis ball. i got out my little propane heater and directed heat towards s.b. for 4-5 minutes and then i could push primer and hear/feel gas going out and snowblower starts. after i blow snow, i check primer and it works. after it sits in attached garage overnite, it acts like its plugged or froze shut until i warm it up with heat. it is older s.b. but has always run with out problem. any advice as to why the primer will not work or what i can do to make sure it works when i need it.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
