If I lived in a place with more regular snow, no doubt I would have some Cadillac of tractors like Andre or a beautiful UTV like Dave. No, not jealous at all.
I have to choose where I am going to spend my pennies..... Unlike some folks that have endless sums of money like Andre' and Rodney..........

Eric, I have to agree, I have been knocked out a couple times in my life already seems to take a couple days to come out of it. This time they did give me something besides the spinal to make me sleep but after they woke me up I felt good other then I could not move from the waste down.

The last two years have been REALLY good, but I know this year is going to be pinching pennies. I'm struggling with sales for the past quarter already. We'll make it, but it's going to be tough. That being said, even the last couple of years, I'm no where near Rodney's league

Eric, I've suggested to several folks who were complaining lately about truck prices that they just buy a basic XLT with gas engine., Yes you can buy them for $40,000 and as you suggest they are still more functional than my 1973 F350 with the 360ci 4speed. Not everybody needs all the options. But instead they prefer to buy a King Ranch truck with 100,000 miles for that same $40,000.

Tim, glad the surgery went well. Here is some encouragement for the PT.
I know my dad when he had his knee surgery stayed awake with the spinal block and said it was pretty spooky watching the bang away with hammer and drill on his knees. Not sure I could watch that.

Windy Rainy day today. Supposed to turn to snow overnight. It's a juicy wet storm blowing east over Utah today. I'm sure you folks on the east side of the rockies will get it tomorrow. I hate the wet and mud, But grateful we are getting close to normal for water for the year. Draught the last two years has push hay prices up. Of course they will never come down. But maybe an abundance of irrigation water next summer will prevent another price hike.

Went for a stroll at the local state park today. A couple people in there camping, hardier than me! I go walking there a few times per week weather permitting, but today was more picturesque.

Just be careful out there Savage, look out for the 'other' guy on the wrong side of the trail.

Eric, your dog doesn't look very happy in the little red riding hood costume

Ha, she actually seems to like wearing the coat, cooperates fully when we put it on her. She's not much of a winter or snow dog, doesn't like too hot either for that matter. For a field dog, she sure likes hanging out on the couch a lot!
