We had over 2 inches before last night. then last night we received a bunch more. We have spring kind of mud in places this morning. I took a couple pictures and a short video from my wheelchair. I didn't get far and managed not to get stuck. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBtBCTAIX18" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBtBCTAIX18

Dick, my wife has knee problems.. I bought a 30 inch step thru mower with 10 HP motor and took off the deck and made her a " scooter"..... might keep that in mind as alternative to wheel chair in the outdoors . ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

I thought about a golf cart or electric wheel ATV or ??? ......... With the COVID the last year, everything was out of sight $$$ .... I found this little guy for $700.. New one was about $1800. but NON IN STOCK... Also they have electric models, but NONE IN STOCK.. This little thing works out pretty good. Leave in 5 th gear, choke is on the throttle.. push in the clutch and turn the key..let out and GO... Perfect for her. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| I use a Craftsmen 42 cut to get around some. When ig gets like this it gets stuck easy. That is where the Mini Honda comes in. |

| the golf carts get stuck real easy, i've seen the wheel chairs that run on tracks, saw one at a farm sale that had a trailer hitch on it, wasn't able to talk to the fellow that was on it, was gonna ask him how much or what he pulled with it! |

| I saw a video of a kid in a tracked wheel chair that had a blade attached and he was pushing feed back for Dairy cows. Normally anything from a ATV to a pickup with a Snow Plow to a skid loader is used for this job. I will try and find the video. |

| In the last 2 weeks we've had 7.5" rain and more predicted until Columbus Day. Harvest has come to a halt with soggy ground and lakes in the low spots in fields! Going to be a long harvest! |

There was a guy on a track chair at the Reitzel Brothers farm machinery sale here in Edon Ohio a couple years ago buying. I wonder if it was the same fellow. My Grand Son said it had a trailer hitch and a rig to stand him up. It was a three day sale, going out of business sale. The one brother, Dave, died. They are open under Reitzel Trator Sales with more than ever in the lot and on the road.

Dick, We've been getting nothin' but rain all summer here. And the Mosquitos are out of control! They'll carry you away. A lot of flooding 50 miles East of us. We're lucky, we're at a higher elevation here in the upper left hand corner of the state. Just been a hot, wet, summer this year in New Joisey. I went through more fuel this year in the ZT mowin' the lawn. I thought it was gonna be a career move mowin' the lawn....
