Default I've worn the aluminum edge of my snowshovel to the point where the rivets securing it

began to disappear and the edge delaminated from the blade. Fortunately, I had the tools & supplies to repair it...not so fast - the replacement rivets abraded away during blizzard #2 so I ended up drilling out the rest and going with the plastic blade only. It's all about power to weight ratio anyway, right? .
I've also managed to break both of the blade corners off now that the metal edge is gone. One side of the reinforcement around the handle socket gave way when trying to lever too much of what the plow left in front of the driveway. At the rate of decay, my shovel won't last to see the 5' burm flanking the length of the driveway melt away this spring.

Default Same here, although the air compressor on my air suspension might be on its way out

The weather may have brought on its death. Then again, 83K might have something to do with it too.

Default Front right fog light

Wife discovered a few days ago that the front right fog light had been knocked in and the bezel around it cracked. Have no idea how it happened, must have hit a chunk of ice while driving, or parked too close to a snow pile. Ugh, fearing the repair bill. Oh, and the windshield got the mandatory ding from a rock.

Default Audi: Filthy, Dakota: Alternator, interior, filthy, Semi: interior, filthy, two tire chains

The Dakota has the worst of it, the alternator is $400.00 to replace, I also found a cracked fog light too.

The Audi is just really dirty

Yeah, I can ALMOST justify a snowblower, but then I think about how much we usually get.
