    Yes Forgemonkey you caught me [:I] I do have a lawn tractor with snow blade and compact 4 wheel drive with a Loader. But my drive way is so full of cars and truck and only one 4 wheel drive so I have to shovel around all the cars by hand after doing all that and parking one at a time to do the next Might as well shovel it all by hand.
    I confess never been the sharpest Knife in the rack Should have parked some of the cars in the yard but all the melting from last 3 snows has turned yard into mud bog with a hint of dead grass on top did not want to have to plant new grass and landscape the yard again

    Ah yes you city fellers with your fancy yards. We rednecks have various forms of weeds that resemble grasses. You can run the back blade over it dragging snow, sod and piles of dog crap to a new location. In the spring all of it grows back just the way it was. You mow the high spots re-spreading the sod and drive way gravel with the mower blades.

    Use caution near the house, some of that drive way gravel will bust a window, blow the clippings towards the pasture to prevent weekend repairs from interfering with your shooting time. [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

    I just wish that they would leave it on daylight savings year round. I love having the extra hour in the evening because it just seems more productive[:)]

    One of the few things I still like about Arizona. No Daylight Savings Time here.

    These city boys are always making things more work than they need to. Instead of making mountains out of molehills just scalp them with the damn mower.

    I go to bed when I'm tired and get up when I wake up.
    Why do they keep telling me I'm losing an hour of sleep? [:)]

    I'd prefer staying with the Savings schedule and NOT swap back in the winter months.
    Makes for an earlier day sure... But, I'm tired of getting home AFTER dark.

    When daylight saving time was instituted, it may have made sense.

    Today, there is no logical reason to have daylight savings time.




    I agree. I don't understand why it hasn't been abolished.
