Busy. Very very busy. But I still find time to BS with you guys. Probably since it's dark and I can't do a whole lot when it's dark out and there's no room in the shop for the plow truck. But for some reason that reminds me I've got homework.

Pete, that's going to make an old man out of you...just kidding. You do a great job of juggling all of that stuff like you do my friend.

Hey Brent! How goes it?

Busy is one thing but busier than you want to be sux. I understand. Thanks for the compliments, a lot of work went into that one. Wish there was an angle that would show the whole thing...

Something tells me the plow truck isn't going to be done for the first storm of the season.

Fortunately I was able to work on the snowblower myself and get it working since I think about this stuff before there's snow in the forecast. Dad tends to wait until there is snow in the forecast to even think about possibly prepping snow removal equipment and by then it's too late for it to be finished by the time the storm arrives.

Not trying to sound like a little jerk kid it just gets frustrating because it happens so often I can see it coming. And I tell him about it months in advance. Then he ignores me and gets all mad when stuff isn't ready. And I'll mention that we could've been doing it several months ago and he'll get all irritated. Never fails.

Or like last year his plan was to sell the plow truck we had and buy a 2000 7.3L PSD with a dumping rack body and a plow on it. I said we ought to wait to sell the current truck until we had the new one. Nope. Sold the old one for less than we had in it and then didn't get the new one and still don't have a working one. And he certainly wasn't the one stuck on an OROPS tractor pushing up the slushy crap when it was raining after snow so that it wouldn't ice over 2" thick.

Sorry for the rant guys!

Well that was one nice deck. The radius around the hot tub was sweet. I've seen some similar to that here but none as neatly done as that. Is your brother still driving that diesel VW?
