Brew: yeah, this thing pretty much just pushed the snow from one place to another, and not out of the way as much as I wanted. I'll head out after breakfast to see if I can do any better.

Surprisingly the blade never folded over (unless it was supposed to).

White: I feel you. I'm thankful for the moisture, but would rather have had it a bit at a time, instead.

What are the temps going to be like, is it going to melt in the next 3 or 4 days ?

Found a 3 piece 24 or 30' fiberglass linesman pole at a garage sale years ago that would probably work for that. Has like a double hook attachment and two other accessories. I've used a few times, mainly for frisbee's and dog toys stuck in the trees lol.

24' probably would've covered us. Our trees aren't very big.

Today I cut a full rib roast that I've been aging for 35 days into 4 3-finger ribeyes. Unfortunately they went straight into vacuum bags and the freezer because I can't eat beef (fat, really) for probably another month (had my gallbladder removed last week).

Yea, I forget what the sections are, either 8 or 10'. It has some reach though totally assembled.

Rib roast sounds good...gallbladder does not. I have no idea what's that's like, it doesn't sound pleasant. Hope it's something you can heal up from.

It's supposed to be in the mid 30's today, then mid-to-upper 40's with rain going to mid 50's by the end of the week. Should be one heckuva sloppy mess by the time I get back Friday. ​​​​​​

I don't know if I mentioned it here, but I got new rubber on the Grizzly over the summer, and all I can say is, "Why the heck did I not do this sooner???" This snow really gave me a chance to see the difference.

Yeah, I guess we got just a little bit.




COS: Don't bother putting those in the freezer. I'll be down in a bit.

Nice shoes! Looks like they would track well in the snow. Were you able to carve a good path at least ?

Friday....are you heading to the tropics, had enough of this stuff lol ?
