This guy in Canada beat him by 4 years. Much more impressive too. It has tracks like a tank and can throw snow some 40 meters or so.

But... it's only a puny V8. That can't possibly provide enough power to drive such a heavy construction

Actually is a based upon a big block Chevy engine. That puts it in the 8 liter range. Tracks move independent of each other for steering and it just looks a lot cooler. I think the flames on the drift cutters are cool too. Whatever, it is good that we still have clever people like these two guys around. In the US we call it Red Neck engineering.

Many Canadians and Americans have guns, that's why.

Edit, looks like gun ownership is 22% for Canuckinans and 43% for 'mericans.

Yep, 1 out of 5 chance you might get shot in Canada for blowing snow on someone else's driveway....is the 22% per household or per capita?

Edit - and we will say sorry after we shoot you

Not sure how that is here, but from what I see we have some 31 guns per 100 citizens, putting us in the top ten - just.

Smack dab in between Can and US

Rules around gun ownership between the two countries is vastly different as well. Things like "Right to Carry", Maximum clip size, restrictioned weapons, etc. makes a big difference.

By the way, it is snowing again. Started about an hour after I left for work at 3:30 am.

Gotta build another snowman, the one I built last Monday isn't looking too good.

Oh yeah, just remembered.

Left the Big Shed a couple hours early today and drove to the post office, adding 32 miles to my daily commute, and had a chat with the postmaster who never replied to my e-mail yesterday.

Had a nice chat with some young gal with a nose ring, a diamond stud in not just one but both nostrils, a bodacious diamond wedding ring that covered a tattooed "ring", and tattoos showing around the collar and sleeves of her US Mail shirt. She made all kinds of excuses, and after some rummaging around managed to rustle up a week's worth of mail and parcels.

She told me they had nearly half of the route drivers stuck in ditches today.

I get it.

The mail vans suck. Automatic gearboxes, rear wheel drive (without limited slip differentials), and not very heavy after half of the day's mail has been delivered. The rural route drivers used to have their own vehicles, most had those right hand drive Subaru Legacy wagons. Apparently the US Mail decided that they should be prooviding the vehicles, and, well, we have already discussed that.

By the way, did I mention it is snowing again? About 4" or so thus far.

Gotta go, my snowman awaits.

Pictures of this snowman or it does not exist ;-)

There, fixed.

Clip:

Magazine:

The difference being the magazine is a container that the cartridges are loaded into, and it is then inserted into the pistol or rifle.

The clip is a device to facilitate loading cartridges into a rile that does not have a removable magazine. Sometimes referred to as a "stripper clip" in reference to the method used for loading the rounds into the rifle.

That's right.
