They have been going on and on about this big storm coming for awhile so I thought I might as well get the tires chains on my tractor. Few other project in the heated shop so I took the forks off and parked it out back with the blades and buckets. Did the tires chains, oil change, grease job and mounted some new lights. Has a pick up loaded with wood and parked it on my barn where tractor normally goes so I decided I might as well just leave the tractor in the shop until I needed it. Well we got hammered with wind blowing in every direction and drifts everywhere all around my buildings. Played in the shop yesterday so decided I might as well get the tractor out and clean out driveway even though all highways are closed. At one point yesterday all of our Townships truck plows were in the ditch. They only had graders left on the roads. That's when I realized that the area where I keep the snow equipment was under 5' of snow. And worse yet I wasn't quite sure where I left the forks. I had to drive around my house and out across the field to get behind my barn to get at stuff. Snow was drifted in places and due to us being surrounded by dirt fields the snow is packed in pretty good. I only cleaned what I needed to. And of course my OWB solenoid decided to freeze and burn out. I put a brand new one on it last year but kept the old one so was able to put it back on and get fired back up. Then it froze in the fully open position. Damn, always something.

Like a little kid after Christmas. I usually sleep with my new saws fir about a week. Arm tucked around it and all. On a cot in the shop by the saw chop corner of course.
The Squaw won't have it in the bedroom. I guess she doesn't like bar oil,
Or maybe its the smell of mixed gas? 
Heck, I don't know?

nice shop/pix! an engine lathe with chips in the bed... and none of the floor! amazing.
It's a good thing my shop isn't attached to the house, gives a fair chance for the metal shavings to fall off the tread of my boots before I get inside.

I'm the same way lol...even worse is when I get a new bike. Every time I've got a new moto, I usually spend about 2 hours in my shop chair, just staring at it.
I see the wood chips on the floor...does the old lady ***** about woodchips getting stuck in the dryer lint trap too?

I haven't shot that Blk Hawk in MANY years, I guess I've been saving it for someone who will appreciate it a lot more than me. lol

I really enjoy my single actions..... I've got a few doubles, but nothing bigger than .357
What are those, when I pull the trigger mine just keep going bang.
I've got some kinda like that too, but I much prefer the old style stuff for plinking.
Actually, all my modern guns were lost in a terrible shipwreck last year.........you know how that goes......
Holy S word Neil, spending £20 - £30 on heating per day would suck big time.Hi guys! I didn't check in for 2 or 3 days as I didn't need to follow the hunting stuff closely and got so far behind I kinda got scared! Then couldn't find the time to catch up so stayed away longer. You probably didn't even notice
I read you gentlemen are having a major ' day after tomorrow' style mega storm, it looks bad! Stay safe everyone. There will be a few new members of the 100 club after this! I can't imagine the cold some of you are facing.
We just came through a 10 cold spell that was big news here. It was nothing that unusual, maybe a once a decade sort of event, but news because of the energy crisis and price rises. People here aren't used to £20-30 a day heating bills here and with inflation above 10% we've a fully fledged cost of living crisis underway so a cold spell and big bills was news. I managed without turning the gas boiler on. Which was good as when I came to test it I found the controller had died so I couldn't have used it anyway. My two small stoves were about at their limit, running hard for about 15 hours a day to keep the house at snug temps. Outside temps.... We had snow on the ground for a week, lows of -5C in London and highs of just above freezing, so very very mild by your standards! 16-22C inside though.
Stay safe gents, and let's see who gets the 100+ club.
Merry Christmas to everyone it’s already Christmas morning here. We are heading to the beach today expected temps of 30C (86F). The beautiful South Pacific is nice and warm this time of year.

Had a family brunch at my daughters today but my eldest son ,wife and grandson are sick so they couldn’t make it . Not Covid but fever chills and nausea. His house isn’t to far from my daughters so we dropped off a care package electrolytes, teas , tissues . Daughter in law was running a 102.5 fever that broke last night . Grandson just has the sniffles . Going to see them this New Year’s Eve as it’s my grandsons birthday
