Had an arborist top and drop a dead tree behind the house and then did several myself. I’m still a rank amateur when it comes to felling but live trees don’t bother me too too much. One ash was the biggest thing I’ve cut to date. I probably won’t cut anything that large again anytime soon. I...

moving one barge south to New York to wrap up the dredging project that just wouldn’t end, then racing south after getting fuel to pick up the next barge to make a high water berth at a sand dock in New Jersey. The weather ended up being worse than forecast when it came to sea state, not unusual...

The mrs said we got around 18” last night, all I got was a 10’ sea out of the south with a wind driven 2-3’ chop out of the NW in block island sound. A total ass kicking on this little 78’ tugboat. Certainly jealous of the giant piles of snow she got to make, though she fully admitted I’ll need...

If you’re that desperate for cream cheese I’ll go down the street to the Cabot factory and mail you some when I get home. Thought I’m not sure what cream cheese, lettuce and toilet paper have to do with equipment shortages. panic buying aside, I haven’t seen much in the way of major shortages...

that’s how I feel about the Grand L’s with a cab versus my LX2610HSDC. The local dealer has a L4060 HSDC on the lot and it’s a good thing it wouldn’t fit the tractor parking spot under our carport! Well or through and of the garden gates, etc etc.

honestly this is one of the more spoiled boomer things I’ve heard in a while. Well maybe this week. In any number of the hobbies I’ve had, or even in my line of work, ordering ahead and experiencing long wait times has been the norm my entire life. The hobbies being especially relevant as for...

bingo, my brother in law lives in New Hampshire and loves to go on about live free or die. Yet the property taxes on his McMansion in a town with next to no municipal services are absolutely eye watering. Worse even than the town I left on Cape Cod when we moved up the hill. At the end of the...

I didn’t realize those landpride blades also came as a manual version. Until you look at one of the PDF’s it’s not readily apparent. That’s what I get for not digging through all of it. “Oh jeeze hun, I’ve got to buy a welder and learn to weld in order to save money. It just has to be done!”...

In an ideal world I would have gotten rear remotes and a hydraulic swing/angle rear blade when I bought my LX, but hindsight is 20/20 and I didn’t realize that will likely be my ideal set up (in combination with the bucket) for moving snow at my property. the question being now, are there any...

they’re R14’s and ice pik are the brand I believe.

Big fan of mine, when I can get a rear blade I think it will be the perfect combo for my property.

Finally got home four days late after my normal 14 days on the boat. Relief had covid and ended up in the hospital at one point. So really I got off easy. Did manage to make it home just in time to clean up 12-14” of snow here in Northern VT.

Zero complaints with mine.

I don’t have a ton of crown in the driveway so I went with two for now. It seemed to work ok though there are a couple spots I’m sure will need touching up when I finish the driveway & parking in the spring. Considering getting the real deal ones next year and the garbage bin holders that go...

Old Bob is correct that they’re from vector. At the time they were in stock, kind of made the choice easy.

Of all the people in logistics I think the delivery drivers get shafted pretty close to the hardest. A big reason for all of the driveway work I’m doing is to make it a lot easier for them to get in and out. It very rarely hurts to be good to people in my book.

First morning of pushing snow, and I was really excited that my knock off edge tamers worked better than expected. 7-8” of fluffy powder pushed and piled.

Ice-Pik studded chains on R-14’s with 2” spacers. Work well, and when you do it right pretty easy on and off. Ive got a gravel/stay mat drive though so no input on damage to asphalt but I’d imagine they would do a number.

Might actually get some snow tonight…figured it was time for the chains.

My usual, fishing rocks out for the new parking area. With all the foliage gone I was able to strike some pay dirt and grab five good ones. Three just about at the limit of what she could lift.
