We lost a cat, we assume it was coyotes, not sure but it's a good bet since we hear them all the time in the woods across the street. I live across from over 200 acres of woods, there's all kinds of wildlife there.
Still never used my snow blower this year, the one storm I wanted to use it the carb was gummed up, got it fixed and thought I had a shot last week. Just have ethanol free gas in it now so I don't have to worry about the carb this year. I've had it since the end of 2021 and have used it once.
