Not hardly. We only got about 8" last eve. Berms are getting a bit high for the snowblower - again. May have to call in the loader one more time before the thaw.

Shaner,

Snow is ok, but it kept switching from snow to sleet to freezing rain and back again here all day. Then they came by and plowed the main street and dumped it over into the access road that runs in front of my place. So I took the night off and fired up the grill and cooked backstrap for dinner  ;D

Yep, ice sucks a big one. And people wonder why I have a generator at my place living in the city and all... When the power goes out it doesn't care where you live.

And ya mean that nobody called FEMA to get us out of that mess, No gov. aid, no rescue hellocopters. And we survived!!  I guess we can take care of ourselves, a little inconvience but no big thing; no matter what the media says.

Please tell me he didn't use the R word!

They came by and plowed my street while I was at work the other night, had a nice wall of hard packed snow/ice blocking the driveway when I got home.... Stupid me backed up and took a run at it, got the truck stuck high centered..... Oh well shovel and 3 hours had it out again.... I knew I should have got a 4x4 and not a 2x4 truck.....

Greg- once I traded up for a 4x4 truck I never looked back. How did I manage without it all those years?

I plan to go out and call some yotes this afternoon at least for a little while, I am stir crazy sitting in the house.

Greg-
still lookin for that 1st one!
called in two new spots yesterday with no result and went back to the spot I had called in two the other week and never had a decent shot, used new calling routine but saw nothing.

Still better than being inside.  It isn't always about filling a tag or getting an animal for me, especially more so since my heart surgery last year.  I am just thankful to be alive and enjoying my activities and family, thank God.

Joe,

Have to agree with you on that one, I am still a young guy, but I had to go under the knife a few years back, had an angioplasty done. No fun at all, but I finally quit smoking and I have been working hard to get my health back into shape. Right now I am thankful for every day that I wake up, even more so if I get to go out into the woods or go to the range.
