Friday morning, I awoke to find a foot of fresh, wet snow on the ground, with deeper drifts in spots. I was still getting over a cold, so I just gazed out the window at it all.
Saturday, I felt a bit better, and went out and fired up the International tractor, and plowed snow with the loader bucket. I also managed to scrape a few inches of gravel off the driveway in places, so now I have large heaps of gravel in many places. Looks like a scene from Attack of the Killer Moles. :>) I also used a hand shovel to clear snow from the paved parking pad by my house.
Today, I unhitched the car trailer from my Suburban, and parked it in a safe, dry place. I'd used the trailer to haul a '41 Stude from Bellingham to Portland, where I was able to make a nice profit on reselling it.
Then I unloaded the other parts and ramps, binders, etc. from the Suburban and put 'em in the garage. Took my hand shovel and scraped most of the rapidly-melting snow away from the dooryard of my garage, and fired up the old Flxible motorcoach and moved it so that area could get full sun in the morning. I even used a shop vac to dry up a bunch of snow-melt puddles. I'm hoping this will give me a dry area immediately outside the shop doors, so I can work outside. The remainder of the yard will need a week to dry, unless the wind picks up. It was still and warm today, partially sunny, too.
