    I'm thinking it read 218 or 219 today before I shut it down. It seems like we've been on the road when it's nice out and home when it's raining.

    I did get it washed last week after I did the boat and the truck so that was nice, I think that I'll throw a coat of wax on it this week.

    We did get rid of the plow for the truck so the tractor is our vehicle for plowing and coming in second is the rhino and our last option is the JD 826 walk behind snowblower if the first two fail.

    I hope our area has a better snow fall this year not followed by rain so we can sled more.

    Wait, wait. I'll drop mine off for a wash and wax. Which day? Mine isn't that bad. Really.:)

    If is snows, you should definitely be able to take care of it.

    It should handle the snow pretty easy, it walked through 22 inches of snow pretty easy.

    It's almost time to uncover the plow and test it out along with greasing the few grease nipples it has on it.

    Don't forget to grease the loader too. I noticed this morning we have a bit over 90 hours on ours now so time for more greasing of the loader. That only takes a couple minutes though.

    The loader has about three hours of use since it's last greasing so my plan is a good cleaning of the zerts on it and then a few more hours of use and then grease it.
