Yeah, I am done shovelling. About half my life in Wisconsin, the rest here in Arizona, back and forth over the years for various reasons.

I want snow, I go to the mountains. Then back down and put shorts back on!

Rick, it will be a great project. I'm going with a "as is" driver with mine for a while, but I'm sure eventually I will do a restoration. I will be keeping an eye on your progress. Thanks for posting, and keep it coming.

Rick: looks like you were just playing in the snow, and trying to run over some gal running up a road.

Rick

I bladed snow today for 2 and a half hours again. I don't get to set inside either. My little tractor has no cab. If I waited for the county to get out to where I live it would be a day and a half to get my road graded.

BTW Is it April yet :?: :x

Rick, I am surprised you didn't put all those NOS Immersion Heaters in use and make an outdoor Jacusi

Well, we are up to just short of 6 feet of snow since December 19. That is about 4 feet more than we usually get for the whole winter. We had no snow in January. By the way, It is snowing right now, another one or two inches today. Actually the blade comes off of my truck right after I am done plowing that particular storm. I have a salt spreader in the back and I don't like running all over with the plow if I am not using it. It gets real crowded in those lots and the plow is a can opener! I can take the plow off or put it on in about a minute so it is not a problem.
