I started out with a pine straw rake. I just recently got it from EA. the area under the pine tree was loaded with needles, and while raking them up, I notice it catching some stone and bringing it up. so then I started making passes back and forth the length if the driveway, basically leaving it how you seen it in after picture. I did make a couple if passes at the end with a blade, reversed, just to smooth everything out a bit. in all, probably 30-45 min.

Hey, hope everyone is adapting to our temporary and challenging new lifestyle throughout the USA.

We have been at home for a week now, feeling fine and doing jigsaw puzzles, cleaning, etc...

Today, we have to drive an hour and a half (one way) to pickup some needed groceries at the nearest Wal-Mart curbside delivery, so to eliminate our exposure at our local store.

Placed the order yesterday and they emailed us this morning about substituting a handful of items and also a handful of item they are now completely out of.

B.T.Y., Wal-Mart has a 2 item limit online for most items.

On a sunny note, I took a couple of pictures late yesterday afternoon, just about 4 hours from the "start of Spring 2020", and still waiting for the ice off from our driveway.

I might use the tractor tomorrow with the rear studded tire chains to scarf up the ice again...

We had almost no snow and though it was colder than normal on some days, not enough consecutive days. Gonna be bug heaven :-( Already used the back hoe to dig up a few yellow jacket nests before it got too warm. Now how to use the tractor to remove more bugs before we get overwhelmed :)

Did some land clearing on the back areas of my property. Ran into a fallen tree covered in "hairy" vines. Looks like poison ivy. Any ideas how to cut this up without getting covered. Moved over with the tractor, but its in the way of another area where I need to remove some brush. Using the Piranha toothbar, works really well. Use a Stihl brush cutter to clear out any stems that survive. Trying not to bare too much ground yet, we have Japanese StiltGrass here and it overwhelms any area I leaf clean for too long.

I installed a WR Long Diverter Valve on my GC1710TLB. They shipped it with a flat black plate so I had cut it down a bit, weld on a piece of L channel steel and, repaint it black. I bought a U bolt and installed it on the cross member of the loader. The handle on the joystick feels comfortable and ergonomic in my hand. I don't love all the 'noise' over the loader arm but it'll do for now.IMG_20200325_191203.jpgIMG_20200325_191211.jpgIMG_20200325_193722.jpgIMG_20200325_193728.jpgIMG_20200325_193742.jpgIMG_20200325_193803.jpg

When pressure washing my winter gear for hopefully the last storm and I find a gash in the blower drum. Maybe I'll need to start a new thread but I'm glad I find this at the end of the season and not at the beginning. Yes, I work my scut hard.
