The latest addition to our family was put right to work moving snow. Honesty impels me to point out, however, that all but the top 6" of that mound of snow was put there by my little B1750.

Pete, nice looking machine, and house, and snow /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Consider yourself lucky to still have some snow to play in. Other than the big piles, we're pretty much back to bare ground.

Have you parted ways with your little B1750 yet? Are you getting some sleep now that Clementine has been delivered?

Rob -- Thanks! We'll have snow till the end of May, so the Wife and I would really like to see some ground! All this talk of getting ready to till the garden has us green with envy!

We still have the B1750. It came out in the paper but due to a typo was priced double what we were asking for it. Needless to say, we had no calls. Shame, too, the old boy was all clean and pretty!

Still not getting much sleep. Before I couldn't sleep because of worry about her making it safely. Now I can't sleep because I'm thinking of all the projects we'll do together this coming year.

HOLY COW! A MOOSE JUST TROTTED PAST THE HOUSE! Gotta grab the digital and see if I can get a pic!!!

... worst case of cabin fever I've heard of in ages. Such a shame, he seemed like a decent guy.

Very nice pic! I'm jealous! Wish I could justify one that size, but I'll just have to make do with my BX2200.

I haven't named it, though! Is this something I need to rectify? /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I'm not sure why this tractor needed a name, but it did. My little B1750 was always Old Fella, which is sort of generic. Fellow across the valley calls his Yoda the Bota. But when I first saw her, it just hit me that something so lovely needed a name. YMMV. Pete

Cabin fever my hitch pin! She was trotting right up the road at a pretty good clip. Long gone by the time I got the camera, but I got a nice shot of her hoofprints in the snow. Looks like someone poked the business end of a telephone pole about every three feet! Let me recharge the batteries and I'll convert it to a .jpg for posting.

Pete -

I'm usually glad that snow is such a rare thing out here, but seeing that picture makes me wish I had some to play with. Very nice pict, by the way -- dramatic angle, pretty composition, and you just gotta love the orange-against-white contrast. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

My poor 'Bota is just sitting in my shop, waiting for the ground to dry out enough to get some chores done. And the weather man says we're going to stay wet for some time to come. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

It was a female by herself this time of the year. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif
Do you have large growth of evergreens near wet lands,could be a good place to check out for more sightings.

I bet she shall return and hang around and maybe have a new born or two.
