The ground was white this morning and I heard that the streets in Saskatoon are a skating rink.

Funny you say that. We were out last night driving and i was telling him to make sure he pays attention. He was asking me how we know what time the school speed zones are enforced till. I told him it says on the sign. He replies what sign? Enough said.

Is that the truck your wife drives TJ? Lolololololol A skid steer would really compliment your business both in summer and winter I think. You already have dump trailers, you could do a lot more small residential areas with a skid steer and haul snow away... I suppose the problem is posed...where could you haul it?

Morning everyone...a little cloudy upstairs this am. My cousin and wife came down from Stoon for the evening, joined us at the rodeo, then stayed the night. It was a late one with some adult beverages consumed, reminiscing over the stupid things we pulled off as kids and survived...

Build my trusses for the addition yesterday, depending on what time my ambition shows up I might get them in place today. Its -12 outside right now. It hurts out there...

Have a great Sunday everyone, GO RIDERS!!

WPG has several free snow dumping yards. So no issue on dumping snow. I already use the dump trailer for this once my few smaller parking lots is piled to full. Except a rental skid steer is used.

I can not justify monthly payments on a new or even used skid steer during the summer. My business is mainly a lawn care over landscape. The landscape market is far more competative than lawn care. Not sure if I want to go down that route.

Wife hardly drives the trucks. She has a 2005 Jeep Liberty that is on its last legs. We are looking at Toyota FJs. Nothing beats a Yota engine. I would still be driving Yotas if the Tundra was a 3/4 or 1 ton.

Happy Sunday mornin'all. I was up till 1am with Jordan working on his car (96 VW Golf). Upper strut mounts, CV boot, speedo sensor and replace all 4 valve stems on the alloy wheels I put on. Tire shop said they looked fine, NOT! Then I let him drive around the block, to practice his shifting, and finding gears. Have a great day guy's.

Good afternoon everyone. Are new fence is being put up, which is nice but sucks at the same time because now we cant just let our dogs out and let them play in the back yard for the time being... oh well it'll be done soon. Our roof is leaking as well, had it "fixed" but it seems to be leaking again, also there is a large 3' x 2' foot hole in our ceiling from where they were trying to find the leak... wont get fixed till next week at the earliest... Hope everyone is having a great Monday

Yet another summer went by and our fence was skipped due to work. Might wait on the fence until I get estimates on a new garage. A few snow flakes fell but not enough to hook up the plow

Morning Fellas, Solemn Remembrance Day to all. Lest we forget.

Colin, that wind yesterday was brutal. We worked outside until about 3, that was all we could handle. Even had to turn on the furnace to supplement the wood stove for a couple nights now. I used to love winter, now I find myself looking forward to March already... If our temps were -10 for lows and had 4-5' of snow I would be very excited...

Hope everyone has a great day. I'm planning to get the roof on the addition.
