    Never underestimate the power of a PO'd woman. That 125 lb snowblower could get swinging real fast.

    Christmas tree is up. Check, done. Now off to remove the mower deck from the ariens garden tractor. Then maybe do a little more leaf sweeping. Then Badgers vs Minnesota for the Axe.

    Moving a shed to make mama happy, now I remember why I put it where it was, it was perfectly level! Trying to.rake through rocks and roots isn' much fun. Good thing I'm about to run out of daylight!

    Could be a 250 lb blower and those women could still get a good swing on it. Lol

    Ok, I underestimated the weight of my blower. 185 lbs. I know those 2 stroke ones are much lighter.

    Hung out with the family all day. Wife’s son and his family left late this morning. My son and I went on a long walk in “da big city” this afternoon.

    Now it’s time for all five of us to go to my parents for dinner. Good thing most of the Holiday leftovers are gone. I need to work off all those carbs!

    Mine's 85 pounds. I wouldn't even have to swing it around, just put her in 3rd gear and start running with it - you couldn't move fast enough not to be made into mincemeat. Oh yeah, I suppose your womenfolk still want you guys around sometimes, so have to settle for the knock out instead of doing you in :D

    Deck is off the ariens tractor. I'm going to sandblast and paint the deck, and I'll replace the spindle bearings and get new blades over winter.

    I'd like to paint the hood and the rear cowling on the tractor over winter as well.

    This ariens tractor is built so well, and it was my dad's, that he gave to me only about a month before he passed away. So, I want to do it right for him, and it will serve me very well as it has served our family for 33 years now.

    Yes, we're pretty useful around the house, and the yard, and the garage... It's a whole team effort thing.
