Hey Gick,
You are the man!!! You got out there in freezing weather to wrestle that plow on your truck to get the driveway cleaned up. My 21 year old won't even mow the dang grass!
Looking good up there - I like your truck too.

Haha thanks Ben! My dad has a contract with the state to plow snow with one of his dump trucks, so its my job to get the driveway clear. He left at midnight last night and probably wont be back until tomorrow morning. My driveway is a little less than a mile long and about 8 other families live on it too, but we're the farthest back. We maintain the driveway and do the plowing since my dad has the equipment. Its cool to live back in the middle of the woods, but man is it getting old clearing the snow off of the driveway.

I guess it will be a while before we can grill again. We tried grilling inside using the broiler on the stove the other day and set off every smoke detector in the house. 
The snow is so deep I had to take the plow off the John Deere and put on the bucket.

You could be living in the city and be frustrated waiting for someone else to do it . . .maybe. Someday you will appreciate it. You'll be telling your kids one day when you are trying to get them to shovel the walks, "When I was young my Dad made me plow the driveway and it was a mile long."

In case you are wondering what is hiding under that mound of snow, it's my picnic table. And the fire pit has two palates on top of it.

I do like those pictures Ray. I especially like that you have a shooting bench out your back door. 
I used to be able to do that before "civilization" moved within earshot.

Interesting, we have almost twin tractors. Mine is a 2001 4300 HST 4WD. I could not get anyone to come out and take a picture of me plowing snow with mine this morning, "Too cold". Look at this contrasting picture and Think green as in grass and warm weather.
So, I put up a picture of the tractor moving the shooting bench back when it was much warmer. Ignore the date.

We ended up with about 10 inches this morning. Then it snowed on and off all day long. We also had some fun. I drove that RZR literally almost 15 miles round and round and round in that field today pulling my kids on that truck inner tube. I got on it and made this cinematic masterpiece. She wasn't driving very fast, but fast enough.

Perhaps you could get the International Olympics Committee to adopt that as a sport for the next Winter Games? When I was a kid, I scored a semi-truck inner-tube that I used for the beach in the summer and for a sled in the winter. I hated dragging that thing up the hill; I think your method works better.
I love that Texaco sign on your shop.

So, were you wearing the Spandex suit too?
I bought the sign for $80 at the Moultrie, GA Swap Meet. I have it on a timer to light up for four hours after sundown every night.
