Pictures. One who doesn't Care

Jacob is the one who doesn't care about all the snow. He has a brand new bone, a warm house, and 3 squares a day, and he doesn't have to push snow. Son was telling me, Jake follows right behind him, so Jake doesn't have to break a path thru the deep snow and have it on his belly. Wind is picking up and blowing some of the snow off the trees, 3rd time in a month, shoveled off the roofs(garage,House) all except the tractor shed. Behind the tractor shed,to the right, sits our wagon, which accumulated the same amount of snow as is on the tractor shed roof.

We have a parade of turkeys that come up for breakfast dinner and supper, along with several deer in the evening. The old blue pickup with snow plow was sure worth putting power steering on it (1972) took me over a month to figure it out.Had to modify the pitman arm,so it would pass DOT inspection. It was well worth the effort.

I'll be thrilled when the snow leaves,but somebody will get it down south for flooding.

Tonights menu is Barbecue spare ribs,fried potatoes,green beans,cottage cheese, and hot biscuits with butter, desert is peach halves with side dish of Blackberry Jello.

Keep your shovels handy, more to come, or so they say.

What time is dinner Lou , I'll be right over!
You are right about having too much snow , I thought we had a lot. But you have us beat. All the best. Bruce

Jacob has that "go away and don't bother me" look.

IHC tractor looks about the right size for a front snow blower.

Well you do have a lot of snow but is shore is purdy! Our's has melted and now we got MUDDDD!

Is that an old dodge truck in your second picture covered in snow, kinda looks like maybe a 1977 w200

Great pics Lou, I'd like to see a full pic of the ford plow truck! Lol, thanks for posting the pics.

G1355,
Yep its a 76 on a 79 frame. Rebuilt it bumper to bumper.

Wheat Farmer,
Their neat, but for the cost of a new front mounted blower, I could buy a pickup truck with a plow.lol. Our driveway is extremely steep and tractor with chains still has a time climbing it.Thanks for the reply.

Kornfused,
You can have our share of it. Been looking at snow and cold since October 23,2013 and after a while it does get on ones nerves. Just waiting for the meltdown and warmer temps to arrive. Had 2 real nice days 40-50 deg and then this hit,and for the next week back into the deep freeze.Looks like we'll be buying vegies to can this year, as the ground will thaw about September. lol. Thanks for the reply,
LOU

Dick2,

Thanks for the reply,
LOU

Bruce,
Your welcome any time for dinner.Could have used you to help shovel the roof.lol.(3 times so far)
Some drifting snow in the woods is over 3 ft,hard for the animals to go thru,but should cut back on ticks this year.lets hope. If you need any snow I'm giving it away for free,by the truckloads.lol.

Jay,
I'll get a picture of the Ford and post it for you tomorrow.Have an album around here somewhere when we rebuilt it a few years ago.

I have a good friend who is a vet. He loves to show off his $500,000 house and tell clients it was built with fees from people bringing in dogs with bones in them.
He sternly told me, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER give your dog ANY BONE. That beef leg bone there is easily broken into needle shards by the weakest of dogs.
Get him a nylon chew, or nothing.

Looks mighty cold. I am glad to see you take good care of your dog on these freezing days. Dogs, and cats get cold too. Even though it doesn't freeze around here that often we keep our animals inside the house, and have a heated pad for the barn cat. Things were different growing up. Animals never came in the house.

We have buildings collapsing from the weight of snow here in NY. Just up the road lumber yard covered rack building went with 2 boom trucks and a flatbed inside. Also heard of major drug store collapse lucky no one hurt.

Nice tractor. NICE tractor. Every so often we have a flock of turkeys. Fun to watch the babies grow up.

Nice old Dodge you got there. I have a 1989 Dodge W100 four wheel drive, 318 with auto and a 1993 Dodge D150 with a 3.9 litre V6 and auto. Love them both !

JayinNY,
Heres the photos of the old Ford.The brown one is what we started with. Floors, and box was gone, we put a 75 cab on it from the wrecking yard and built the flat bed box. Added power steering and pump,modified pitman arm to match up to old version of 72 manual steering linkage. We've had this truck over 15 years now, the only thing we done to the motor was added a new set of main bearings(390cu in). On that one we didn't pull the crank, just lowered the crank, eased the new bearings in and retorqued them. We did plasti gage the journals before ordering and installing them.Oil pressure improved drastically. Been a real life saver.
