How's this winter treating you?

yep....ice just absolutely kills me........the drives too long to economically do anything about it. Getting some rain today so I'm hoping that it washes some of the ice away........and leaves some bare gravel spots that I can aim for in between sliding on the icy portions to regain some traction.

I have to keep reminding the dogs when we're out walking that they have four paws with nails and I don't!

It has been a very tough winter here this year. It is a lot like the winters I remember as a kid, but I am old feller now and I don't get near the enjoyment going outside in the snow at this age. It seems like every day I am on the tractor moving snow, running out of places to stack it, in fact, have had to start moving piles, sure wishing I had a cab tractor this year. Even wife is starting to feel sorry for me and said maybe I need a cab before next winter, so fingers crossed maybe a new tractor in 2014. Every day going out in the morning and evening taking care of the horses and chickens just plain SUCKS. And the utility bills have been through the roof because of heat lamps and tank heaters, just hope it warms up soon. Saying March will be colder than normal................

After years of working on, maintaining and purchasing snow equipment I finally get to go out an play in the snow on my own time. Wife, friends and neighbors think I am nuts out playing with the plow and snow blower. I hung up my skis a long time ago and have a hard time walking any distance, however, I can plant my butt on the tractor and enjoy some time outdoors. Get out all my old ski clothes go out and have a ball with my equipment, like a kid in a snow filled sand box.:cool2: I actually feel useful after plowing and blowing all the snow from my property and helping out the neighbors.

Sun is out here and when the road dries out a bit later today I think I'll get the bike out and ride up to the boat launch and see how high the river is. We've had a fair amount of rain that melted off all our recent snowfall so flowing water is a bit high.
