here I am in the banana belt of Canada, where we seldom get freezing temperatures, and even less often get snow. Well, we've got snow. Only about 8 inches so...
It snows here in Utah also but the way I see that's why God gave us 4 X 4's that go right through the snow. I have a nice snow blower. (I think my wife bought...
Carole, you are obviously out of practice!! You are meant to sit and watch the snow whilst sipping chilled wine or beer, or a mix of both if it gets really...
Thanks, Carol, but that doesn't get the driveway cleared. I did manage to do all but the last 20 feet before it got dark (I will confess each time I went out...
All this talk about snow has me made my blood run cold. That isn't easy when it's 71 degrees outside after dark. I was watching the grass grow as the sun set...

What a nice offer. I have a small ford 3400 industrial tractor. the wheels are about four feet in diameter. I can measure them exactly if you think we are...
They are for rims that are 38". And tire chains are HEAVY. But we can work out something if they will fit. Larry Hepker from rural Cedar Rapids, Iowa. ... ...
Just a quick thought about leaking pipes. I have "fixed" leaking pipes with Bondo. This is the epoxy used to repair car bodies. Clean and dry the pipe and...

Carol, I'm glad the water thing is fixed...wish you were closer, cause Robert is good at that stuff (I'm most definitely NOT) and I think he enjoys fixing that...
CJ, that's a cute story about Dexter and the blankets...but how is it that small dogs seem to gain 10# and grow 1' longer once they get on the bed? Lily, our...
I used to have Yorkie. Charlie thought his part of the bed was right square in the middle. Sounds as though Lily might be so inclined as well. C. J. Welle ...
