Armed and Ready

I don't know if I'm alone in this among guys born and raised in the south.... even though NC isn't what I would call the deep south, snow here is a rare treat. I'm 33 and still look forward to any hint of winter weather, even the nasty icy stuff, like a little kid.

Maybe I need to trade a winter with one of you guys up north but just one time in my life, I want to be forced to crawl out a window if I want to go somewhere because the snow is that deep... hehehe.

Oh.. and BTW... I'm not your typical southern hypocrite when it comes to winter weather. I don't run to the store to buy bread and milk if the weatherman even hints at saying the precipitation word. I LOOK for excuses to be out in it! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

In fact once the white stuff actually does start falling around here, if the wife would leave me alone long enough that I could get away with it.. I could probably be seen throwing bread and milk out the back door so she sends me to get some. heheh

I can't even fathom the idea of mowing grass year around. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif KJ is also missing out on the opportunity of using the snowblower to level off any high spots in a gravel drive 'before' the ground freezes rock solid. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Al, I put the plow on my ATV the other day, since we are both ready this means we won't have and snow this winter, probably just ice storms followed by weeks of below 0F temps!!! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

That's the strangest looking PTO chipper/shredder I've ever seen. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Your right Greg. I'm glad I put it on. The temp outside right now on Dec 8th is 46 deg. If I hadn't put it on it would be 20 something and a nor'easter would be howling.

EastTexFrank....
PTO chipper/shredder ............interesting idea. Sort of self feeding. Just line up the trees in a sort of row and back down through them. Just might work, just might work. If anybody finds it does, please let me know.

Don....
You really have to feel sorry for KiotiJohn who has to look at only "grass grass grass and trees and dirt" , and for Getut who for some odd reason wrote, "I want to be forced to crawl out a window if I want to go somewhere because the snow is that deep" /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Course you can tell he has never been hung up half in and half out of the window with no one around to help. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
You can tell they miss the frozen ground and having to wait for Mother Nature to dump a bunch of snow on them to get any tractor time. But, as you said, we get the opportunity each fall to really level out our drives in a way people with no snow can only dream about. And then each spring we get to examine the lawns looking for rocks in ways they can only dream about. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Have any of you designed a rock magnet yet???
