 Topic: Shameless and his machine!
Posted: 01 Feb 2022 at 4:05pm |

Shameless, you must be feeling better and gave your machine a good tune up as we are under a Winter Storm Warning for a foot or more of snow! Let it come! I got the 10 foot blade on the front of the 7060 and the "Old faithful 185"with the loader and 7 foot bucket is ready to go for close clean up!

We're expecting a foot or more here too. It's been awhile since we've had that much at one time.
Between the blizzard on the East coast last weekend and now this, I'd say Shameless has that thing dialed up to 11. I wonder how much fuel his machine burns in the process of pumping out massive amounts of "pretty" on a consistent basis. With prices as they are, maybe it's time to throttle it back just a bit. 
Regardless, we're prepared- the snow blower is hooked to the 7010 and ready to rock! |

LOL That's awfully generous of you Shameless. We'll definitely be knee deep in fun around here by tomorrow at this time. This will be the first decent accumulation I've had all winter so I'm kinda looking forward to it.
When you're done with us, you best attach the short-throw chute ASAP and address the situation on the home front. Gotta spread the fun around, ya know?

Good to see Mr Shenagains back poking and annoying folks with his "pretty machine". Was hoping you where not just picking on the nurse's. Keep yourself out of big trouble.  We know you need a little.

Shamless, how about shifting a little north to mid Wisconsin. Would like to get enough of that white stuff to get more on
the snowmobile trails. At 82, I don't know how many years I have left to do this. Bring it on!!

Lawns are white here in the Permian Basin. That’s ok, we need moisture however we can get it.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Dragged off the drive, shoveled up by house, definitely over 7" but under 10", really dry powdery snow drifting really bad. MoDOT nowhere to be seen.

Well Shameless you must be using high octane in that contraption of yours this time. Only a little ice so far here in central Ohio but 3-6 in. of snow promised for later. State of Ohio highway dept. issued a news item yesterday saying that since they have only half the drivers available as last year it will take a lot longer to clear the highways. I'd like to know where all the drivers went. Could that many have retired? Oh yes, thanks Shameless. Friend of mine that lives south of Tucson e-mailed me earlier and said they had 23 degrees when he got up this morning; colder than here. Suppose they will recover sooner than we will though. Stay safe everyone.

Maybe he needs to put some viagra in the machine's tank.  It couldn't keep it going to get this far. We've gotten nothing but rain. The forecast for tomorrow is more of the same.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

Dialed in!?! That is for sure! Got over a foot! Thank goodness the milk truck came yesterday. Plowed 6 inches with wd 45 last night and will do another 8 after I eat my granola. There is a lot of corn still in the field around here. Guess those guys will be waiting for April now

Went to plow drive .snow plow works great unless traction is an issue. Before I spend 500 dollars on a set of new ones, anybody got a set they want to sell? Got 14.9 28 tires.
