Hi everyone
I have been lax on reports here because I have just been too lazy to update.
We got a total of 15 inches of snow Sunday night into Monday all day. I plowed the first 6 inches first thing Monday morning but it was snowing so bad I could not keep up with it and the 9 inches that was left was just too much for the tractor I I did not have the strength to use the snowblower on the whole mess. I have a total of 500 feet of drive and alley I have to clear in addition to a 3 car parking area. Tuesday morning my son borrowed a truck and plow from work and hit the worst stuff so I was able to finish with the snow blower. I went out today with the lawn tractor and plowed the light dusting we got so maybe some sun will help even though it is the well below freezing range for the next 10 days or so. We have lots of supplies and a back up generator so if we need it we are OK.
My youngest son gave me a brass PRR Q2 that he got for a song. I took it apart Tuesday night and got it running. There are some cosmetic repairs to make too. I installed a front couple last night and reattached the air pumps, I don't think this will get DCC. I remember how hard it was to do the last one.
I did get out to get gas yesterday. It was 2.69.
Healthwise my wife and I are doing pretty well.
Have a good week end
Charlie
