Slaying the Snow Monster

Yet another dump of snow. After using the snow blower, I still have lots to do. The ends of the driveway at the road have a big berm of snow/ice from when the plow passed. Also, if you don't remove all of the snow from in front of your mailbox and along the road approaching and leaving it, your mail will not be delivered.
Taking care of the road leading up to the mailbox.

This stuff just never ends! I need more diesel fuel.




Here are a couple of videos of me working on the tractor. The neighbors love me. I have found that getting a tractor is the surest way to bring your neighbors calling. "Hey, could you dig out this bush?" "Hey, could you push down this tree?" "Hey, could you drag this huge rock to the back of my property?" "Hey, could you muck out the plow berm at the end of my driveway? My blower can't get through it." I think we are getting some extra Christmas gifts next year.

Hey Greg, at the end of the second video it looks like you were stuck in the snow with your tractor. I notice the video "suddenly" came to an abrupt halt! (Just ribbing you).

Ha! Yeah, that's my fault. There was a truck coming down the street, so I turned off the camera and stepped out of the way so the truck could pass.

He was stuck, but he got the tractor out pretty quickly.

Yeah. I was disappointed that she had not caught the whole thing. I used the bucket to curl myself out. It worked right away.
