Well, well, well...

First of all, we got a shit-load of snow... In some places it's prolly close to 28 inches and others a mere 24 inches, depending on wind drifts, etc...

Second of all, my biggest mistake before the snow was putting the tractor into the equipement barn nose first... My thinkin' was that I wanted to keep the deisel engine outta the cold wind Open side of the barn)...

Problem was that it took an entire half an hour of using the rear blade to push and push snow at various angles and blade heights in order to get the tractor turned around where I could use the front loader...

But I finally got it turned around and spend the entire morning and afternoon diggin' out... So far I've made it 300 feet of the 1300 or so feet of driveway... That ain't all that good but I think I can do 400-500 feet today... It's slow because I'm having to go down get one buck full of snow and then back the tractor up to an area that I cleared yesterday where I am stacking the snow... The piles are right at 8 feet tall which makes it real interetsing in there because I can't see anything but stacks of snow in a horseshoe all around me...

Ahhhhh, I do have a friend who has a real big tractor (with a heated cab) who is going to try to make it down below today and work from the bottom of ther driveway... If he can get 500 feet then I'll be out by Tuesday... If not, with the snow we are expectin' Tuesday night I might have to walk out and hitch a ride to town for more beer... The shine is almost gone...

But, we never lost power so that's a good thing and...

...go Saints!!!
