[pioneerguy600]

Its ok , all they could tell is the general direction , I was well hid . LOL Hope this whistle works ? LOL\

Time , all wore out from beaching . Tomorrow is a new day !

John, just hook that whistle up to your compressor along with one of those pressure regulators we use on paint guns, set it for low pressure around 7 - 10 lbs and that thing will have all the dogs within a mile shut up.

Well , whilst youse all was all reliving the Good ol Days from today back about schitt that aint worth a hill of beans I was out learning a bunch of valuable lessons that affect the quality of my life .
Lesson 1 , put the tire chains that you got at 1/2 price for your front tires on before you go plowing .
Lesson 2 , when you get stuck at the bottom of your hill , you shoulda put the chains on before you started plowing .
Lesson 3 , it's a little harder to put chains on when stuck in a mound of snow that you plowed after you got the tractor all cockeyed in the said mound of snow .
Lesson 4 , test fit the "Deal on Chains" before you need them because you bought them knowing that the numbers were "Close" to right before you actually need to use them .
One lesson I had already learnt was to buy chain quick links when they're on sale because you never know when you'll need them .
After I got unstuck I still had to drive through 4 properties to get back up the hill to the house LOL

Those are all good lessons......I completely wore out the tire chains on my little tractor this year......been on since '94.....never been off until this fall.....had to cut them off......replaced with these from Napa.....good enough chains for $125.00 new......didn't like the spacing so thought I'd order 20 more cross links.....worked out perfect with the side links to add an extra cross link between all the existing cross links, taking the cross link count from 10 to 20 per side.........well ....they only sell cross links in bags of 25........OK I sez....I don't mind having 5 extra cross links kicking around......."How much for a bag?"........$245.00 plus tax......almost twice as much for the cross links as the complete set cost????? No thanks.......I'll get by somehow.....made it with 10 cross link chains for 21 years. Notice I was in a nice dry warm shop putting the chains on and making sure they was tight enough?? I could go on forever telling tales of losing chains in the woods....in the snow...in the mud.......learned those lessons the hard way...'bout like everything else. I like to let most of the air out of the tires, put the chains on as tight as I can get 'em then blow the tires back up to pressure......makes a nice tight job.....

It would likely vary a bit but here in the valley, low spot between the high hills we have 8-9" total, some drifting from yesterdays snow but the sun is out bright in a clear blue sky and I didn`t really mind my one hour workout. Snow was lite so not a lot of effort required to move it. I been watching the new crop of plow cowboys tearing about n getting not much done....LOL
