Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

I'm sure there are holes in your hearts for your loss. My condolences. Take it easy all of you clearing that muck.





My grandfather (who lived in Levitton PA) told me "No one can drive fast on ice" "It is an equation of mass vs. available grip, which is very, very low"

I drove about 50k miles for work each year. Never ran off the road because of slippery roads. For over 40 years
Boss asked why I went to work on a bad day. My answer was always I don't get paid to stay home. If I get stuck. You pay me for that.

Looks like a very neat job. Are you using your dug out clay to fill in some of your dips?

Yes, to fill in, some rock base on top and compact. Will have to wait for George’s compactor to finish but i suspect I’ll get some rain compaction first.

Good Morning!!!! 39F here in Chico, CA. Sunny to partly cloudy. High 52F. Winds light and variable.

Hope everyone is feeling better this morning, and that those afflicted get good diagnoses for what ails 'em. Winter time certainly brings out the health issues!

Just got word that the evac orders are being lifted at noon for my area. I guess they heard me and my neighbors complaining! Got me some packin' to do...

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the weekend; I know what I'll be doin'!

Drew- I am curious; is your tiller a LandPride RTR1282? I look forward to seeing some dirt and that showroom quality finish. That is one nice looking machine.

Kyle- Your Grandfather is/was correct. Some of the worst drivers and AWD, SUV, and 4X4 newbies. 4 wheels spinning will definitely get one going on ice; stopping and turning may prove to be another matter.

My wife had a 93 mile daily commute to Springfield, MA for 30 years and like Ron never had an accident commuting. There have been ice storms here where the highway department sanders have had to run in reverse on their own sand in order to move. One time on RT9 they had to weave in reverse through traffic for the 12 miles between two hill towns.

Ron- Your girl is in good hands. Good luck.

Don- I am glad that Whipper was on leash. My hill trail skirts a very steep slope. I could see a very bad outcome if Brogen ever got the crazy idea to travel that slope.

David- Thanks for sharing your project. I look forward to more pictures.

RNG- Great news.

36F and still raining. Other than walking Brogen; it’s a good day to watch the squirrel fights at the bird feeders.

I hope that everyone is having a decent day.

That will teach me to make comments about good weather. Took a shower and when I came out it is raining.

Does eating cherry pie count for a daily cherry intake?
I've not had anything close to gout since my daily 2 beer days about 20+ years ago.

One thing I learned about EGO power tools that I'm sure doesn't surprise anyone is that when they are worked harder, the sound doesn't change but the battery runs out in less time.

I guess the same could be said of me. It didn't take long for me to run out of steam mowing yesterday.

The snow was frozen hard enough to support my weight (about 175-180) when I walked across it...probably not a fair test of a battery powered snow blower...
