Decided to clean the shop and putz around a little. WC started on the 3rd pull which shocked the snot out of me (started on the first pull when I put her away). Figured it's March and supposed to be in the 60's here next week. I took the chains off the WD and spun the tires back in. Did leave the blade extensions on, so it won't be a real bad snow, but I figure removing the chains is a guarantee for a good snow. AaronSEIA

I was gonna take my blower off this weekend. That should do it. I never even put the PTO shaft on this year so far. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

Well, in the span of an hour we went from a winter weather advisory with 5" expected to no advisory, no snow, and sun. Guess I'm safe for now. AaronSEIA |

| I had heard that we were supposed to get a bunch of snow on Tuesday, so I put the snow blower on Monday night. Thus the snowstorm passed us by, went south of us. I know that if I wouldn't have put the blower on, we would have gotten 2 feet! I was actually looking forward to maybe blowing a little snow, but I'm not too bummed out about not getting to. darrel |

I figured winter was coming, so back in January I put my heat houser on the 45(hadn't used it in years). I have only fired the tractor up once this year to clean up a wet snow that only stayed on the ground about 3 days. Maybe next year I'll put the heat houser and tire chains on and it won't snow at all.
