It is really fun Lisa. Sandi actually commented when I came in on the good job the machine does, and she was laughing cause I was driving around looking for places to snowblow, and started snowblowing some lawn!

Next year I would like to paint up the tractor, make it look as well as it performs, then paint all the attachments up. Kinda like a mini project vehicle.

And it was only minus 22 here today, so it wasnt all that bad outside.

Note to all on the Wii fit:

As far as I'm concerned it's pretty lame. My mom bought it because she thought it would be fun. The few times she's used it it seems like she had fun, but I still think it's pretty lame in comparison to other stuff. Such as Call of Duty: World at War.

Cool snowblower!! I like it.
Scott, vid would be great. I was just was dancing with Claire around the living room to Beyonce's "single ladies" kinda funny for an 8 month old! Might have to consider getting Julie to vid that for you guys. She is starting to dance and move and hum to certain songs. She seems to prefer country though....
I'm back with fresh glass of rum and pineapple juice!!!

LOL..I could see myself doing that. Its always cool when work becomes fun.
Sounds like a good project, making the tractor look new again. I vote for blue, so it matches your dump truck.

Pete, perhaps the rest of us aren't as interested in tactical warfare. Most fogies want more light-hearted, family-oriented games.

I'm not an expert though I'm not much for videogames. I always thought Mariocart was fun though.

BlueTooth is about 2Mbps, USB is about 12Mbps. USB is faster obviously, but BT is more convenient with no cables to worry about. When you're transferring a 1MB or so pic, the speed difference is neglegible. It does become an issue when transferring a lot of pics (especially with my new 5 MP phone!!), so that's why I just pull my MicroSD out and stick it in my reader...
