Happy Friday morning all. A little nippy this am. I ran over my extension cord with the snow blower on Sunday, and said; I probably won't need it anymore. I guess I was wrong. Have a great day guy's.

Morning everyone. It's blowing snow out here at my in-laws. Dogs are outside wrestling and digging snow forts it was so nice outside most of this week. My truck is DIRTY, needs a good washing but I don't want to wash it and have everything freeze. Today is FRIDAY! But tomorrow I have to get up at 5am with plans on heading home by 6am. Hopefully everyone is having a good Friday

I wish her & you luck, maybe out there they'll let her build what she wants...

The Canadian men are well on their way to do the same in a really big game on Sunday.

Tell your customer I have plenty of land in my backyard Curtis...it`s high and dry.....perfect for her plan. Of course it would be nice I get to use a bit of space in it too.

If it was spring ya would be out plowing the south 40. This way ya get yer
plowing in and never leave the driveway.

Northern Farm boys plow year round

Guess I'm getting too old and too fussy as I`d way sooner be plowing the south 40 or cutting grass instead of freezing my butt off looking at icicles hanging everywhere. this turns me on more than plowing snow

Happy Saturday mornin'all. Just dropped Jordan off at my work. He's washing trucks today $10.00/hr cash, not bad for a 15yr old. He wants money to spruce up his car before he gets his perm. license. Dawn got the Edge stuck in the driveway yesterday. Now she wants a truck (what's a Raptor?). Good luck with that! Blew the driveway out last night, and now going home to clean it up again. Have a great day guy's.
