RE: [Alpacasite] Nifty trick for snowy poop cart wheels

We purchased two large utility sleds at Wal-mart. These are not play sleds,
but are meant for outside chores. They are 5+ feet long, and close to 2
feet tall. The nice things about sleds is they can be used year round. In
the spring when things get muddy they are also very nice, and they work well
on the grass in the summer.

Subject: [Alpacasite] Nifty trick for snowy poop cart wheels

Hi listers,

(Rick, you can ignore this post :))

Those of us who deal with snow know the hassle of snow buildup on the
wheels of the poop cart in the winter time. I know the wheels on mine
usually completely stop moving and are dragged through the snow when
wet snow sticks to the wheels. Well, I have found that spraying the
flat (Tread) surface of the wheels with WD-40 cures that problem! I
don't know how long one application will last yet, but so far it has
worked to shed the snow off the plastic wheels!

WD-40 got it's name while it was being formulated as a 'water
displacer', it was the 40th version apparently. So I figured, snow is
frozen water, maybe it'll displace the snow, it does! I don't know,
but using one of those car shine products like Armor All might also
work by making the wheels slick.

Happy poop scooping everyone,
