Can you not make one out of the two?

Believe it or not, my tractor is not that big. Only 27 hp. S Korean made, assembled in USA. I do understand the lack of ca$h, tho.
Junior was working my walk behind 24" blower to death and freezing his nads off doing it. Three hours to do my driveway and the neighbours as well.
I just came in after 4 hours and plowed 4 driveways in a T-shirt. After I get the blower on I will be able to do the same 4 in about 2 hours and that is stopping to jaw with a few people as well.

In Moscow we tend to use manpower (with shovels) for the pedestrian side walks and such.

In Toronto they use 450 John Deere dozers for sidewalk plows as well as Cat D3's.

Doubt I'll be needing my woolen knickers this year....more likely a lifejacket.

Lemme guess. Alcohol was involved?

Idiots, rifles, and booze, what could possibly go wrong? :nope:

Up here we spell 'idiots' with a 'C' in front. More than likely there was booze involved. There usually is at hunt camp.

In the UK, I'm pleased to say, it's mostly just the idiots and the booze. I remember walking home with a pal after a heavy night down the pub once, when I spied a football in the road up ahead (one of those white soccer balls with black spots). As ran at it, singing the theme from "Match Of The Day", my mate suddenly yelled "It's a CAT!" I jumped clear just as it dashed for cover under a parked car. God only knows what would've happened if I'd had a rifle...

It's crazy out there today, I'm practically trapped at my office :doh:

Blowing snow and a windchill of -20 out there now - real whiteout conditions. Ouch!

I saw on the news yesterday where a whole bunch of people forgot how to drive in the snow. I saw also that Day & Ross is looking for another broker. The one on the news 'broke his truck' a little.

That was about a foot of snow that we got by the time it was all done.:yeah:

Its wicked cold out here in Lexington, to me anyways, I wouldn't be able to deal with -20, its only 17 this morning. And we were lucky not getting the amount of snow predicted, looks at the most like an inch if that.

Just enjoying a hot cup of coffee and a cinnamon poptart before I have to venture out.

Daughter-in-law took the videos last year. I will try and talk her into another one after another good dumping of snow. I blew out this place in the dark.

Seems there is a nip of winter here in the UK. Never last, back to tropical summer this weekend. :haha:

Nippy here in my room, better shut the windows. :har:
