I usually plow 5 drive ways on a heavey storm ... all my neighbors paid to have their driveways plowed today.. good for me as I don't have to do it but not a one of them ever paid me all the times I did it in the last few years . Not that I wouldnhave taken there money ... its what neighbors do for each other.

Yup almost thought that but it looked more red than orange.. too dark for kubota orange.

MF Or Mahindra?

13 on the yard stick . Drive .. front walk back walk deck is done . Now to widen the ends of the drive way and hit the neighbors . Still snowing and the wind hasn't ramped up yet . Hadba false start this morning as I had a broken shear pin . Have a dozen pins no lock nuts . Trip to hard ware store .

Yup ... except they are wrong most of the time . Especially the wrong side.

Signature bite of a crappie.

As we say at work ... "where else can you work and be wrong 50% of the time other than meteorology and management and still keep your job".

Just out with the dogs first inch is in the books .

Not even going to bother wife isn't going to work tomorrow . With the wind coming off the corn fields and cow pasture acrossed the road we will get buried if it wraps around like a true nor'easter. I will get out tomorrow morning .

Got to love OT !

Down here in elmira area snow has begun . Should make for a fun commute in the AM.

I like to cut them in quarters dredge them in egg and flower , seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper,red pepper,sage . Fry in oil . Grams use to use lard. Serve with biscuits and white gravy . I have also par boiled them brown in fry pan then toss them on wing sauce.

Well for the most part my big city stuff has been upstate ny Rochester ,Syracuse Buffalo. I have been through Cincinnati , Columbus ,even Detroit. 5 lanes with construction lane shifts at 70 mph was enough for me . Coming through the tunnel in KC merging traffic left and right was over the top at 70 mph . Just not use to that shit . On top of that I was driving either my sisters subarue or my dads accura. Much rather have been in my ford truck.

Just left KC wouldn't want to be anywhere near there for any game . Traffic there is a nightmare on a normal day. Im not a big city guy so it sucked . Went by the stadium a couple of times on the way to Cabelas. We went down town to see some historical sights mid day. Wanted to see the Indian on a horse statue in the park . We were turned away as they were investigating a shooting / murder. Dad actually lives in Independence Missouri. Not that it makes a difference It is all city just a different exits off of I 70.

Dont be sorry I thought it myself.... or worse.

Well I got lucky tractor turned over and started . Shut it off after a few seconds and set up the heater in the shed . 3 hours later I fired her up and she ran . Added some 911 additive Topped off with fresh diesel . Ran it up to my bil and back ran for an hour no problem. Thank God I didn't have to do 2 filter change . Yes it was freaking cold driving the tractor down the road .

Fill them with nitrogen it doesn't shrink like air in the cold

Federal fusion did a heck of a job on wifes doe . Nosler partitions are a good choice in any caliber.

While I was in Missouri I had time to hit some gun shops and pawn shops . I honestly believe that pawn shops actually synonymous with gun shops . Two I went into only had guns . I scored 2 lbs of powder that I have been looking for for over a year . 4 boxes of hornady xtp for 44 mag and 41 mag at pre pandemic prices . Guns galore on the shelf . They are a right to own state . No permit required. High cap magazines . 33 round glock mags every wheres. They can have cans / silencers. AR all over the shelves. They had a pretty decent amount of ammo . Hunting bullets a pretty good selection . Scored 4 boxes of fusion in 243/308. Prices were higher than I liked but what are you going to do . I didn't find any mag pistol primers . I did manage 200 209 primers . Went into one shop that sold drum magazines for just about all guns. From glock to shotguns. Now i know what it feels like to leave a communist country to the free world .

I'm going to pay today for not maintaining my tractor like I usually do . Haven't started it in a month and I didn't keep my diesel topped off . Going to pick up a salamander ,fresh diesel ,new fuel filters today . Going to be cold out there. I screwed up big and now I will pay.

Well what do you expect from the left coast . Problem is monkey see monkey do. It will happen all over as the police and court systems hands are tied . No accountability for there actions . No penalties makes for Christmas all year long. This lawlessness is turning the US into a third world country. No different than the pirates of Africa.

Ran into freezing rain outside of Cleveland. And lake effect snows on 86. More snow at home than any other place . Pulled in at 9:45. One long ass ride .

Left a day early to avoid weather ... sister drives like a Nascar racer. Should roll in at home 930 ish pm been on the road since 530 ... looks like good weather all the way barring LE.

So I'm in Missouri with my sister and dad . We are scheduled to drive back Saturday morning. There is a storm prediction starting tomorrow through Saturday. Weather Channel ap says 1 inch of snow Saturday morning . Thats pretty much all the way to Ohio. The weather Channel is predicting 8 to 12 inches possibly for Kansas city area. They can't make up their minds depends on what model they are calling for . We had a white knuckle ride through Indiana on the way out do to freezing rain . Trucks and cars off the road . 1 hour parked on 70 no movement. Came up on a fatal accident that killed 4 people . Trying to decide if we should leave tomorrow and try to beat the storm here and be ahead of it or hope the worst has passed and the plow trucks have it cleaned up. Saturday morning traffic sounds way better than big city traffic. Saturday morning we add snow and ice . What are your thoughts?

Nope you first I can pull you on the ice ... you aren't doing anything for me but calling 911.
