On a second thought, if I do that, it might not snow for years : )</font>

I think there is something going on with the climate, maybe not the global warming scenario, but something. When they have to haul in snow to run the Iditarod, something is strange. The icecaps are shrinking, the permafrost layer is diminishing, glaciers are disappearing but no global warming? Either way I haven't been able to "save the day" with my new tractor. I had envisioned myself shoveling drives, pulling little old ladies out of ditches, emergency grocery runs, etc, etc. Maybe if I go out and get a nice tiller or brush hog it will turn things around. Will just have to go with the flow for now /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Just my luck Brown, Shuckin' when I shoulda' been Jivin'. Now that I've got the foundation poured though I bet it doesn't rain more than a trickle for months. Not that it would bother me. I've got lots of blocks to lay yet and a lack of mud would be nice to work with. My quandary now is whether the use the dry spell to do some more landscaping, or lay those blocks.

My better half know the answer to your question. She told me a few months ago when I purchased a used Myers snow plow and told her I was converting it for use on the TC-40D loader that it wasn't going to snow the rest of the winter and therefore the plow was a waste of money. So far she's been right on........ /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

You know what they say about if you got lemons make lemonade well I took the snowblower etc. off the JD425 and put the mower and bagger back on. It didn't really need mowing but I did get up quite a few leaves and hickory shells that the squirrels left strewn around. The lawn looks pretty good. The Township finally got around to picking up the leaves that people had piled along the curb that had gotten burried under the early December snows. I'll bet there were some tired guys down at the Township depot. Those were some wet leaves. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

When I was growing up we were told that we were coming out of a "mini ice age", which climaxed in the 1800s. Now it's called global warming. To some degree at least it's an excuse by those who'd like us to sit in our houses shivering, and watch the spotted owls s*** on our toys as they rust awy from disuse. Personally I don't think this planet gives a mote WHAT we do; besides, if we mess up too badly it'll puke us up like a cat does to a big hair ball, and start over. I'm rather frugal by nature, anyhow and don't make a really big impact; but I also intend to enjoy life.

Can you eat spotted owls? I won't have them messing on my tractor!

sorry about the rainy and cold snowy weather moving in, I blew a brake line about 2 hrs ago, so it needs fixed, (no garage) so I'll have to work on it in the mud & snow...

Up this way, Winter is supposed to sneak back in this weekend. Maybe I'll get to use the snowblower again. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Monsoon season is supposed to return here Sat., /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif guess I'm going to sit here watching it rain while glaring at the list of things I'd hoped to do this weekend.

NEXT year I'm going to have a garage to work in.
