The ice cleats were delivered...
Of course, I had to try them out...and I wanted to spray non-stick on the snow blowers (more on that in a minute...). I also wanted to check out some critter tracks about 50-70 yards from the back of the house
We still have 4-6 inches or so of snow on the ground...those cleats did a fine job keeping me walking, even with my bum leg. The snow is hard frozen, so I didn't break through anywhere.
Anyway, there were two sets of tracks...looking at the size and distances apart, I'm pretty sure it was a momma moose and her calf. I wish I'd seen them when they walked across the lawn. Wifey thinks we should set up a couple game cams...and I think she's right!
Last time I used the 3PH blower was to clean up some wet snow and ice from a small event a week ago. The blower chute was filled with ice! About 20-25 minutes of chipping away with a pry bay, I had it pretty much cleared. So, I sprayed the chute, fan and auger (including the housing) with the anti-stick spray...also sprayed the chain. Fortunately, it's fairly warm (35 or 36 degrees) so the chore wasn't as much of a PITA it could have been.
Chores done...time for a beer!

It's great to read how your dog + reacted. I wish all of you many happy and healthy years together.
