Good morning Vermont and FTE land. Have a trouble free day. This past weekend we went up to Abbot Maine to go snowmobiling. The place we stayed at was really nice and right on the trail. The ride Saturday started good for the first 15-20 miles with great trails. After that it was rough. Riding 2 up made it worse. Only did 141 miles. Sunday the guy I bought my 1200 from and his wife met us at the camp. My son and I rode with them. Trails were great, mostly freshly groomed. Did 70 with them. Unfortunately the 08 600sdi went down. Not sure if it smoked a piston or what. Another project.

In my woods it is officially spring despite what the stars and calendar say. Thursday, I noticed the grass was getting a little tall, but I could easily see the Chihuahuas in the yard. With the warm days and all the rain Friday and again the warm weekend and plenty of sun, I had to mow the grass yesterday evening. I couldn't see the Chihuahuas in the yard!
good morning Rod. Mowing grass first weekend of March is definitely not what I want to hear

Good morning woodchucks mowers and sled riders. Yet another 90 degree day here. Grass would grow of it rained but we are now in a moderate drought. Couple of huge wildfires south of us, over 300 acres been burning since Thursday, some homes lost as a result.

Have a great day.

Good morning Vermont and FTE land. Have a terrific Tuesday. Don’t forget to get out and vote for town meeting and vote for the “right” person

Happy Happy Hump morning Vermont, Jim, Shawn, Bud, Roy and all the Woodchuck crew.

I wasn't ready to start mowing this season for I hoped another 3-4 weeks but it has started!

However we have dropped back to more normal temperatures for tis time of year and looks like we will be there for a couple a weeks. Maybe that will keep the grass short!

Off to the Sammich Factory for my Thursday.

Good morning woodchucks. Starting to think about the trip home. We will be headed north around the end of this month. The heat will drive me north. 👍

Good morning Rod. Hopefully you don't wear out your mower too soon. Have a good day mowing down the orders at the sammich factory.

Good morning Shawn. Surprised the heat hasn't driven you home a month ago
