    Pretty sure the last time I filled my tractor was probably mid September. Had no plan on using the tractor for plowing as I don't have a cab, only needed it yesterday as my trucks 4wheel drive wasn't engaging. I'll check it out Monday, , but I'll make sure I run power server from now on

    Hope she fires up today, started twice and ran for a KIMG0187.jpg minute or two. Got the bullet heater going and a light. Also put a blanket over the top to try and keep the heat in. It's definitely warmer under the blanket than where I'm standing. Lol KIMG0188.jpg

    On a side note here's a picture of my 1949 Farmall Cub with a Woods 6' mower deck. I guess I was looking at it wishing I was getting out to do some mowing. Instead of thawing gelled diesel at 2°. Lol KIMG0189.jpg

    Well she's been running for a half hour now, I'll let her run another half hour and then move a little snow out of the barn entrance and call it a day KIMG0192.jpg

    I spend the first 4or 5 hours of my day outside on the airport ramp, starting at 5 am. This cold has done a number on our airplanes and equipment, I love the snow, but this cold makes it hard to get out and play in it the way I like.
    I still haven't gone cross country skiing or sledding with my kids this year.

    We've had record breaking cold here! This morning was -5 degrees! Think we just set a new record that dates back over 100 years.. We lost power for about 8 hrs. during the snow storm but we had .8" of rain before it snowed.. Driveway is like a skating rink!
