So The eclipse hasnt been driven since early last summer before the engine blew. And now that i have it running again, I cannot afford insurance. Usually theres always somthing to work on, but since it hasnt moved, it hasnt had the chance to break down.

I got bored the other day, so i decided to try and make a snow machine using 1/4" Brass fittings, some pipe, an air compressor, and my garden hose. Its a T-shaped internal mix gun, it has 2 nozzles and it cost me about 25 dollars in parts to make. I welded up a tripod stand out of angle-iron, and painted it white. Havent had much time to try it since its been so warm, but i tried it for an hour a few weeks ago, and made a light coating on the ground. I will try to get a hold of a digital camera one of these days so i can post them up. Hopefully it will get colder out so i can make some more snow in the yard...
