^Grandparents driveway.

Plow burm at the end of my driveway around 6:00 or so. Yes it's messy but it's still snowing so I didn't get too picky.
Gonna have to give it another go tomorrow morning.


And cause I'm bored... a video.


The clicking is the under-hood relay for the plow. The clunking like doors opening and shutting is shifting Forward-Reverse with my left hand. Then I'm not sure if you're hearing me breathing really heavily for some random reason or if it's my big old waterproof coat rustling when I'm turning. And finally I don't have Parkinson's I was just plowing uneven frozen dirt so the entire truck was shaking a bit.

The video is mainly for our southern friends who may not know what it's like to ride in a plow truck and are interested in what it's like. Not the world's greatest video but it's tough to run the truck, plow, camera, and keep from hitting stuff all at the same time.

Truck is a 2006 F350 DRW 6.0L PSD 4x4 with a 9' Fisher MC straight blade.

Not much to add from me, the weather out here has been really warm, up to the 50's and low 60's. Really odd for us, not to mention dry. Usually I have webbed feet this time of year.

Hey Lisa, I'm building a 30x40 pole building right now, 16' walls, 2 roll up doors, and a polished concrete floor that could be used for a mirror. Just sayin....

Just a drive by posting, hope everyone else is doing well! Catch you later.

Morning everyone, seems the snow skipped right over us and hit the east coast instead. I would have liked a little more than the 2-3" we got since last Friday.
