    Was out plowing out some neighbors, and ran out on 'reserve' [​IMG]. With no phone, and not wanting to bother the old folks, I did the walk of shame to the house for a can. Of course, out of regular. Had to finish with a little 50:1.

    It was a pretty good time, though I had to dig out the old Polaris leather. We darn near made it up to 0 today, and either the wind died down a little, or there is no more snow left to blow. The drifts were more than I should have messing with, but the old Yamaha did a decent job.

    I have a Bad habit of doing that as well. Even if I refill the tank on the Quad, I forget to put the petcock back to "on".

    I feel your pain and good on you for not bothering the neighbors. :)
