    I'm not upset that I came to Wyoming on Friday. I just hope my wife's flight to Billings is still on because I'm already 5 days into a stay at the in-law's. They're absolutely great but it's not my house.
    There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.

    Prior to today, I had begun to think that the snowblower I got from Bert was overkill. Those concerns have been laid to rest. 18 inches of snow at the shop, drifted to 34 or so in spots. The maintenance troll managed to stick his plow truck, but eventually got it out.

    I think I am to finally need to replace the auger/impeller drive belt, my snowblower was pushing a big berm of snow in front of it and not throwing a good amount out the discharge chute.
    My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.

    A good snowblower is definitely a life saver. My FIL gave us his about 10 years ago because he hired a service and didn't need it anymore. It's a beast and has moved a ton of snow for me and my neighbors, who I try to help. I'm not the most mechanically inclined guy, but it's been fun to learn more and more about maintenance and repairs on it over the years. It's pretty bullet-proof, but I've had to change a belt here and there. replace shear bolts, etc.

    We live on a corner lot and that's a crapload of sidewalk to clear . . . and when there's as much snow as we got today, shoveling would be a gigantic challenge. I usually shovel the driveway just for exercise, but the snowblower does the rest if there's more than about 5 inches.

    The plow guy at the shop just does the driveway (and a shit job of that). I have to clear along the building in front of our bay doors, and any parking spaces (up to 6 or 7), so a shovel is a non starter any time we get more than a couple of inches of snow. Before the original landlord passed away, I had keys to the old Scout with a plow and chains, so I would get there early and the lot was clean by 0730, so I know that it IS possible to plow that lot correctly.

    sold the snow plow & mower when we moved. 1/1/19 had 2" + of snow on the ground. Neighbor removed with his kabota, rest was gone in 2 days.

    End of year they're talking 12" + over 6K foot level. Maybe down to the 5k mark. we're at 4700ish. Way it looks, cloud & temp wise i think that may be revised .

    Yesterday i was catching some sun while freeloading.
