Nice view Jim! :supz:

I am lucky here that I have acres to plow onto. :muhaha: I have only 1 time in 9 years worried I would run out of room. I always figured I could hire someone with a loader to move the piles for me if needed.

YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

I wish we had good snow. This snow then rain then snow crap we have in Chicagoland right now doesn't snowboard very well and I currently can't afford going to a groomed hill.
