Do I need professional help?

Your health care plan covers it doesn't it?

That it does. It also pays for colonoscopies, but you don't see me running out to get one just 'cause... :laughing:

Looks good to me!

Y'mean the driveway, not a colonoscopy, right?

Well, it's somewhere that only 'professional help' will do.

It takes me about ten minutes to clamp the three Edge Tamers :thumbsup: onto one of the buckets. I shovel once across the garage and barn doors while the tractor warms up and pull snow out from them with the BB. I gather piles and dump them where Spring runoff will drain away from both gravel drives. I have 550' to clear plus turn-around at the 'T', Nest doors only have 200'. They gets 4 spaces to park & I clear six or so for the folks in front that share my d-way.

The procedure is old hat now, but the ETs have cut time almost in half. No more fussing to level the bucket lip to just skim to a hard pack and leave the gravel in place. I've never had to deal with more than 12" of snow at once, and a 3" fall is enough to get me out there. I also clear a big turn-around area for UPS/FedEx guys. I'll do about 40' x 40' over grass in 5 min or so. Grass will be poking through but none gets scraped into the pile doing that.

Anyway, results is what matters. Props to the OP for nice work, and once again for not gouging the lawn while 'staying the course'. btw, I'm sure the Mrs knows she has a keeper, too.

Thanks!

Well, she says that occasionally, but it's interspersed with contrary "information" :laughing: :laughing:

Hey,think about it.
We are TBN members-we all need professional help!

 

[IXLR8]

NOPE, it looks like you did a professional job clearing away the snow.

There's that...

I would actually disagree.

Professionals are paid for their work*, and typically are much more efficient. BUT not always do they produce better results, as they don't usually have as much invested as the homeowner...

*I get paid, but not in dollars

We won't ask how you get paid! Jon

You get to cook once in a while and do as much of the laundry as you like too?

Does she have a sister?

C'mon, Jon. For you and me, isn't that just "another day"?

 

[the old grind]

Well, for 40 years I've been fortunate, if socially unaccompanied. :laughing: The the single Dad thing was awesome for me! :cool2:

(She's been gone that long .. was that 'everything' .. I bet you know what I mean. )

I've heard that a most beautiful sound is that of a human snoring. I'm thrilled to think the OP might still hear that.

It's something to miss.

btw, Merry Christmas, guys!

I actually have a hard time doing the laundry, as she's always doing it before it NEEDS to be done.

And yes, she has a sister - married with 5 kids...

My wife tells me the same thing. But let's think about this.

She has 50 pairs of shoes, some of which haven't been worn in 20 years. And I need therapy?

Went to a marriage counselor when me and the ex parted. Guy was never married, how in blazes does he have any real life experience? But he was a professional. LMAO
