Nice Marty B. We 3-5 inches with a 50 mph wind today. You should have been on the road up here today. So I may have a drift to move tomorrow.

Now take that storm and stay on schedule with ice packed highways.

It eats a hole in your gizzard.

If we get a couple inches of snow this year and it stays a couple of days, I am going to mow it agiain this year.
I have some new neighbors who are starting to get a bit too chummy. I need a way to make them think twice about it.

No snow here yet or grass to mow. Waiting for the fire bans to come on again.

You guys got it all wrong ! Look at it this way. Every minute I’m mowing is one less minute of holiday honeydos.
Honey find that snowman to set there
Honey got get gift cards. Oh wait I forgot one for sister in law go back
Honey take back packages that don’t fit
Honey go get stamps
Honey run to Walmart
Honey stop by Kroger
Honey I need gas in my Yukon
Honey Santa blew of the porch
Honey bath and body works has everything for 5 dollars. Go fight 5000 women for the last bottle of vanilla sugar lotion
Honey stop at Cracker Barrel get a peanut butter log!!

Wonder what I’ll have to do tomorrow!!

Yeah I’ll mow anytime

Ha! I have a neighbor like that. He mows constantly. Even in fall when the grass hasn't grown at all. He might call it mowing but his blades ain't touching the grass.

He has a big hayfield. He lets a local farmer hay it once then spends the rest of the year mowing it.

In the fall he runs his mower around for a couple hours to pick up leaves every time one falls off a tree.

We call him the mower freak.

His wife must have one heck of a honey-do list.


Eh...wot?

I understand that Marty. I drove a lot for a while too. I am not sure if I can get out of the driveway without moving snow today. Then I don't know if I can get to the tar road. I have not see any cars go by since yesterday morning. I hate having to be anywhere at a given time this time of the year. A quarter of the state had the roads shut down and another quarter was ice last night.

Yes. It is a Kubota BX 2680 that I picked up this summer. Small profile but endless uses on our 6 acre parcel. 25.5 hp diesel engine.

My neighbor was mowing today too. Must be climate change! Lol
Side note: I just bought a 4 wheeler with plow, those of us on the NE region shouldn't worry about deep snow this year! Murphys Law....
