Removed an old landing. Had to dig out the old post base.

Got a dumpster and cleaning out the junk pile. Little beast is not quite tall enough to get over the side.

From experience I would not trust it. In stopped traffic lady hit me from behind. Said her flip-flop slipped off the brake pedal. Her frame rail end to hit my hitch. The hitch bent down twisting the end of the frame rails. Had she been centered would have been a clean radiator shot...

Is it wrong to use the rear doors to hold the tarp corners? Helped my daughter move this weekend. Only 4 blocks in Washington DC. (Tied down the tarp for the loads to/from MA).

One a small scale I added a shelf for sand buckets to my blade for this winter.

Cheap vinyl cab makes a world of difference with snow blower. Typically don't even zip the doors. Cuts the wind and blowing snow.

My wife showed me this 'feature' in her car today. Seems to be made for the distracted drivers looking down at the phone while in line.

Neat tool. I have an all-on-one metric set that the shows the size. And real size on the other side.

Spot this recently. Pile of plywood held down only by the ramps.

The town supplies sand/salt mix. I fill up plastic buckets at the DPW when needed. Built a shelf on my back blade to hold 2 buckets so I can stop and sand the area that need it.

I mounted a 4-way joystick on the FEL control arm. up-down controls the chute deflector. left-right controls the chute rotation. Hand is at the same place to raise and lower the blower.

Put on my leaf bucket and starting hauling loads up past the tree line.

Removed and hauled away the old stairs on my shop.

This one drove by me today. Truck has Colorado plates. Trailer has Maine plates. Appeared to be heading to the highway.

On a nice weekend day my folks will get 1 or 2 turn around an hour. 99% turn on the apron to the main road. Once in a while someone will go around the circle.

Yesterday on the highway. Just before the exit Just after the exit. Tailgate being closed.

NC watermelon thief nabbed after he gets stuck in field/

Got some seat time on my folk's porch looking out at the ocean. Closest I got to a tractor was a neighbor raking and baling

My son captured this group at the local Kubota dealer. He is taking them on a peaceful ride to the lake. Will be too late when they spot the burn pit.

Spotted this in my driveway. The pile shifted and the orange strap was loose in the 1/2 mile from where my son picked up the pallets. He has another 5-6 miles to where the bonfire will be.

Finished my trailer mover. Built from broken quick attach. Rewelded broken ear and added bar for ball.

I have sloped driveway and BX w/ front blower. Don't need chains most of the time. But when when mother nature decides to drop the temperature and rain turns to snow with an ice base do need chains to get back up the hill.

Sheriff in California spotted a not quite right plate. They towed the truck because it was unsafe. Badly-made fake license plate leads to arrest in California

Made my ballast box and back blade slightly lighter by drilling holes to let the accumulated rain water out.

I have been harvesting more rocks. Pallet forks forks make a decent trenching bucket. And for removing more rocks. Making progress on ditch for french drain. Tractor has not been in the shed since last fall when lots of rain turned that area in to a mud pit.

Common sense is lacking in a lot of folks. GPS is a tool to help you find a destination. Many drivers fail to think and validate what is comes from the GPS. Every year news has stories about people that drive off a cliff or in to a lake following GPS directions. Map reading is an exotic...

Took off and put away the blower. Daring mother nature to send us one more batch of the evil white stuff this year.

Even a cheap unheated cab makes a big difference with the snowblower. Lighter side furry snow weapon Dog needs a little help after massive dumping of snow - YouTube

Picked these up years ago from a bunch of used tools for sale.

Our little dog got an ornament from the tree. played a little. Took it in the crate. Protective of it, growling at me and other dog if got near. Settled down and skinned it like he does with tennis balls.

Our downstairs cats. Mother and daughter can from shelter couple years ago. They picked that corner to be near me in evening. That dog is blind and tends to sleep on sofa during the day. We have another pair of cats inherited from FIL upstairs.

Took off loader installed snow blower. Little beast spending winter outside because the wet year turned the shed and yard in to a mud pit. Linear actuator for chute failed. repaired it last year. replaced it this year. Added an inline connector so easier to replace in future.

Slide one in here.

Very wet year here. Roofers are finally coming Wednesday. They said over 90 rain days this year. Have been working Sundays to catch up. Can't put tractor in the shed because that section of yard is a mud pit. I have been digging trenches to direct the water from hill behind and neighbor's...

Critters make life much better. I prefer cats. My wife prefers dogs. Currently we have 3 dogs and 4 cats in the house. Earlier this year lost my office Cat. The office and me were her territory for over a decade. My wife claimed to get the evil eye from Cat when she came to the office.

My leaf bucket is built of plywood and sits on the pallet forks. For chips could put a metal cutting edge the base. For moving chips I would use the standard bucket to load it then swap to forks to move it.

I move leaves up hill every year. Collect many bucket fulls and haul up past the tree line.

Like that blower. Would fill by leaf bucket real quick.

Received a pallet of parts for a project. Wouldn't lift it directly from back of truck. Was able to curl then back away from truck. Pallet was close to 400 pounds. Much nicer than breaking the pallet and carry the parts up the driveway.

The world is pushing Christmas commercialization earlier and earlier. Store used to wait for the day after to Thanksgiving to put out the Christmas stuff and start the sales. Today we went to Walmart. Giant inflatable Christmas tree out front. Sign in door: Santa visits starting 11/3...

Parts and hardware collection grows over the years. I have a bunch of drawer units mounted on a wall for common smaller hardware. Then a shelves full or parts storage cases. Larger quantities and items are roughly sorted in a few cabinets. Key is labeling whatever storage containers so you...

I have been cleaning it off after each snow storm. Last year I added 2 ft wide plywood on the rafters to support the cover. Just changed that 4 ft wide. Hopefully with that support and new tarp won't need to clean off the snow this winter. The original cover lasted about 2 years before...

Moved the tractor shed with carrryall and forks Then put a new tarp over the original cover.

Had this one pass me yesterday. Has the straight 3 sizes ball mount. Moving at good clip with flasher on. Left trailer light was out. Pictures come from my dashcam

I have a bunch of plastic buckets for winter sand/salt. Couple buckets fit nice in ballast box. Leaves room to pile chains or tools on top. Or 4 buckets if I want more weight.

I recently rented a towable manlift for weekend. Did look at both at rental place. the towable is smaller I could get in to tight corner using tractor with receiver and ball on bucket. The self propelled version would have not got in to the space. The auto leveling outriggers made it easy...

I have dug out and "collected" a bunch of rocks my BX can't lift. Recently used it to moved rented man lift in to tight space.

Removed base of old block wall. Leaf bucket Move blower and electrical boxes.
