That's a good looking mower!

I am working. Finishing up a tax return for a neighbor, plus hooked up to the office computer wrapping up month end. Trying to off going out and pulling weeds out of a couple of flower beds.

Snowed 5" last night....got the drive blowed out in 15 minutes this morning....ran it in 5th gear...my wife was wondering why I was done so soon, she thought something broke. I told her that's why I bought the Ariens snowblower. It's quick and efficient....IMO

The snow missed the Twin Cities this week -- got nothing more than a VERY light dusting on Tuesday night. I wish we would have gotten at least a few inches -- when you're only here for a few days and then flying back to Texas for the weekend snow is "festive"......

Nice drive to Athens this morning. On first measurement, looks as if I lost .5 to 1.0 mpg with the new tires.

Damn, I'm good!

Loss of about 1mpg? So now you're about even with the EB fuel mileage
