Bought dinner out. Outback steakhouse. It was good but $80 for 2 with 2 drinks. Ouch... it's no wonder I've been eating off the other end of cow these past 4 yrs.

I bought the K-Connect with snow blower for my Kubota RTV-X1100C.
My dealer is buying the Boss vee plow off it.
Now just need this storm to end and highway to reopen so I can get it to the dealer for install.

I'll have to get snow in my face one more week on the tractor/blower, LOL

I bought half a dozen Battery Minder brand battery charger/maintainers....
They make great christmas gifts.

40 foot 1 trip container delivered. They were able to get lined up and backed in where I wanted with the container mule. Needed to jack it up to place posts underneath. Then I was able to push with my kioti and roll it back the last couple feet. It's now leveled and ready to fill

What are those blocks you used under the corners?

I've been contemplating someday scooting my 40' (high cube) over a few feet sideways; not sure how I would do that. Probably rent something with a bigger lift.

Hmm. I still have 5.5 tons of roadbase to spread, mainly in the carport. And it's colder here. Are you saying that I should dump the trailer and wait until spring?

And speaking of buying, somebody please talk me out of spending nearly $3K on a small multi process welder. I'm really lusting for one.

You can get a Vevor 4 in 1 welder for like $300, mig, tig, stick, and they count flux core as a 4th process. Mine works well, and it's 110v/220v. Now, if it Does crap out in a few years, I'm out $300. If you spend $3000, it still will eventually crap out, and your out $3000. If you Really need the power, or reliability of the expensive machine, you will likely be better off with a $1000 machine for your 2 main processes.

I bought a Lincoln MIG at HF. At the time I thought $500 was a lot but I wanted a name brand. 15 yrs later it turns out to have been a good choice. My buddy has an old water cooled TIG machine as big as a small car

I've been contemplating someday scooting my 40' (high cube) over a few feet sideways; not sure how I would do that. Probably rent something with a bigger lift.

I just went through the paver blocks at menards and found something 4 inches tall and that looked like it would be a good fit. My 2.5 ton floor jack would lift up a side but it took everything it had. I'd lift up one side and drop it back down on a runner that was at least 8 feet plus how ever far you are moving it long. Then do the same on the other side. With the weight of the ground and on the boards you should be able to pull and slide it with your tractor. If you want to go a step farther jack it up even it higher and put couple round post sections under the runners you put down. They will act as wheels. Once I had it this far I was able to slide my forks under and move it back and forth easily. My tractor doesn't come close to lifting it but it didn't need to. Put it in 4 and it will move it
