Well we haven't seen much snow yet (which will hopefully happen soon). I have to build belt covers for my 2 walk-behind mowers. One I completed today with some spare metal that has been laying in the basement for years now. I also have to take apart and paint both mowers. I will also be making a bracket to mount a snow plow to the one mower. Might as well make it useful for the winter months. That's about all I have going on for now.

So what do you all have to do during the winter to make the time pass by?

What difference between this winter and last winter lol. We got about 4 inches here over the weekend and then the rain washed it away by Monday.

Last year here was great. 30 inches in one night. Then a week later 20 more inches fell.

Snow plow mounted to walk behind lawn mower. Too bad I didn't get to use it with this crappy winter.

You can drop the trailer off lol. The mustang is on the list to get worked on but need more cash first lol

I hear you, just waiting for a guy to come up from south jersey to buy my 3pt backhoe attachment so I can get some cash to put into the crew and bills...mostly bills, this lack of snow plowing put a real dent in my cash surplus

Thanks Ryan. Probably would come out better if I had a sand blaster to really clean up everything. But I was happy to get that all done with $40 worth of paint and still have some left over.

Yeah snow plowing was greatly disappointing this year.
