I like when you guys in the midwest post about the weather, most times its headed this way, YT early warning system.
It seems kind of odd not to be hemmed in already, though we seem to get seasons without lots of snow, last year was a stark reminder of how it can be, add working a ton of hours, always tired out, was not ready at all last year. I can't recall how many times my day started last year, tractor don't start, garage bay cluttered where it usually stays in the cold, snowblower would not run, can't even get out of the driveway, and there was 15 horses 30 miles away to deal with. Thankfully the other guy was nearby, finally get there, can't even get off the county road (well I'm driving a fuel efficient little car) Wade through the snow, get the tractor, (no cab) open up a path, then deal with the chores, time to go home, nope, have to clear the place out, then do the same when I get home, then it snows again. I guess some deal with this every year, then again, pays to be prepared, one thing is certain,open station tractors and 3 pt blowers suck in the winter LOL!
Fast forward to this winter, blower runs fine, tractor is back in a heated garage, starts fine, got one small shed up for wood put all the large round in there to be split for next year, just socked in 2 cords of small rounds near the stove from piles of logs I dropped off with my F600 in '09 ... try me now snow LOL ! Well, the doctor gave me some time off, and next week, they do surgery on my foot and I'm done for 6 weeks, no weight on it. I'd rather be out in the woods, getting ahead on firewood, seeing no snow cover this year, best time to do it, instead, be gimping around the house.

The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction,
