Evening, all. Skidsteer has the tire chains on and is in the driveway.

Decision has been made that the OBS's spot in line at hartford truck equipment will be given to the 06 so we have a plow truck ready this season not in 2011.

The OBS will then be done at Patrick's convenience.

Worst part of snow is the waiting before you can go plow it. I've got just enough to cover the bricks on the front walk here.
