    It's a tool.. it makes money..:rofl: :lol:. first with 2 foot track Honda blower it took 4 hours for the drive and 4 hours for lot between garage and house.. I had Kubota so 2200 for blower 400 for Canadian chains.. of course the year before I bought it was the deep snow year..... only used it 2 times last year... but friends that plow generally come and borrow it and me when snow banks need to get knocked back 50 feet:dex:

    I'm looking around for a used mid-size tractor with a loader along with a PTO and 3pt hitch. Kubota is a first choice along with a Yanmar but they don't go cheap. I got a plow truck but it's taking a back seat on the snow removal duties. Needed a loader to knock the banks down at the end of the driveway last year, too much snow for the princess to see before getting on the highway. The search continues until I find what I really need.....:binoculars:or when I get fed up and buy on impulse:emptywallet:

    Couple days ago the wind was howling at 50+ and picked up my Horrible Freight portable garage and flipped it 30 feet and blocked my kitchen door! Got it back in place (with some road rash) and tied it down a little better...

    Still got a lil S.N.O.W. on the side yard. Which should be gone the next warm day(today?). I thought the last few would have done away with it. But no dice. First time in a long while we have it on the ground on turkey day..

    We got quite a bit of snow at deer camp this past weekend. Started out with 4-5" sunday mornin and by monday mornin it was 10"+ and still coming down. It was beautiful but hard to hunt in with 30mph winds. We packed up and left camp early since they were calling for possible totals of 18-30" by Tuesday evening.

    I need to submit a complaint to the snow department here in RI. Not only has it not snowed, it's be in the high 40's low 50's. The other night it pizzed like crazy. Too bad that was not snow. Ugh. I need to move further north. However; it's just not in the cards.

    yeah but a couple thousand kilometers away... equivalent to saying fires in northern territory and snow in tasmania.. most parts of the eastern US do not have the drought conditions that normally lead to the aussie fires.. that would be south western states

    I don't trust using one safety on my 336 30-30 nope both or the gun is empty and stashed. Been around a long while because of it.
