Jim, I had thought about stakes, but figured the plows would still off set from them.

And the the dilemma as to where to set the stake.

So I figured, just let them plow and then I'll clean it up.

And hopefully they will plow next time hugging the snow pile.

If they don't then I'll complain to the town as a new home owner on that street.

Brian, not much going on now.

Had a couple assignments to get out of the way earlier.

No looking into walk behind tracked snow blowers.

My 47" unit on my tractor is just too much for this driveway, and useless for the sidewalk.

The 24" Honda catches my eye at the moment, though its not electric start.

I wonder if that Honda engine has a propane conversion carburetor.

I see that there are 'performance' parts for that little engine, could have myself one wicked snow blower.

Well, here I am again in the middle of night surfing the web. Millstone shutdown unit 3 because of an electrical fault in the electrical delivery system to the grid. We man 24/7 I took the nightshift because I'm greedy.

Anyway, remember a while ago my brake lights shorted out and gave my ABS Brake system a signal to stop me from shifting from park to drive? It was after working 12 hours on nightshift and I had little to no patients and almost broke the shifter. While plowing snow I finished off the shifter and now won't go into park and barely go into drive before the lever runs out of travel. Rather than tare the whole vehicle apart to replace the steering column with a used one, I'm going to install a floor shifter by Turbo Action. They are a little pricey, but I've had two in other applications and they are easy to install and bullet proof.

Good morning guys.

Rich good luck with your truck.

I wonder if B&M makes a blower for Honda snow blowers, That way you could send the snow back to its maker
