Thought my heart was going to bust out of my chest a few time.

I felt the same way. I was so full of pride, watching the wife get my loader unstuck. I would have loved to help, except for this dang hangnail that been bugging me for a while. Anyway, she's a good woman. I may even let her drive it one day. R ::015::

Rem, you cad. How does that woman put up with being house-bound with you all winter?
;)


All dug out here, with no where to go. While it sure isn't DD's drive, it drifted to cover the truck (a hill is on one side of the drive) and digging was all by hand. We got an email that the county may be able to plow us out late today.

There are times when I would LOVE to have a driveway of a sensible size. This weekend was definitely one of those times.

Is it really all that wrong to envy?

Just another northerner checking in for the entertainment. ::017::

A shovel plow works great if you do not have a huge drive.

When you park, Lifting your wipers off your windshield keeps them ice free.

Cracking a side window helps keep the fog off the windows.

Shoveling is equivalent to running full speed on a treadmill

If you move farther south, you won't have to deal with this again ::018::

Envy can be a powerful motivator. It can make you go out and buy that bigger Kubota that you don't really need. Sometimes, being practical just doesn't cut it.


We have had a very mild winter for here, and I'm ok with that. OK, bye. R ::003::

Look on the bright side...at least all your roads are straight. Only have to be concerned with what wind hits you up front. Don't need to worry about any side breeze in the corners that could make you chilly. ;D

Ya got that right! ::025::

Ozello Trail is about as good as it get in Florida. Ya gotta be careful in the corners, if you get in a little too deep you could become gator bait. :(

Take a look. At the :45 mark there's a water front restaurant on the left, Pecks, its a destination for riders in Florida. The white stuff at the side of the road in the video is sand, NOT snow! ::005::
