Nope. Never (at least mentally).

Got the outside water shut off. Spent all day Saturday doing leaves and it's breezy today so you can't even tell I was out there.

Thank you for the reminder about batteries. I have added that to my list.

Hell yeah......bring it on! Hung the blower and the bucket on the tractor last week, in addition to going servicing the plow (even plowed once already last week). Besides, I've got plenty of work to hold me over this winter.

Working on it here...

What you said Mitch, plus, lots more. Highlights, new Battery for the Yamaha Grizzly (pushing light snow), mower deck off the Deere and loader on.(pushing heavy snow). Full service on these. On going watering trees, then reeling up 300 yards of garden hose. Trimming a couple dozen shrubs. Cleaning all the exterior windows. And the most important, MCACN entry is loaded and ready!
And the roughest job of all, running all the cars on a loop around town.

I'm good with winter. Like Tim I get more done in winter without the distractions. - Bill W

Tim I think you’re going to need a bigger garage!!!
How do you like the snowblower on the rear? Considered it for a while on the front of my bota.

It's good for what I use it for. I use it to blow away from my storage units. I also use it for when I plow everything out to the outer edge of the pakring lot / driveway (to minimize how much it shrinks in the winter). I the only go straight backwards as a rule. Not much it cannot handle......and that's with only a 33hp diesel.

I have plenty to keep me busy on the Camaro over winter too, I just seem to hate the cold more every year. I have a Boss plow on the Silverado for the 450 ft of driveway. The self load/unload is SOOO nice. I had Westerns on previous trucks and what a PITA to line up and get pins in when it's -25 degrees outside. My new car barn in the backyard has concrete floor and when I off load it, it's on casters so I can roll it out of the way. Much better than the previous place, where it was stored outside.
