today i took off the front wheels of my back hoe ,the old ones had no tread and when plowing snow on our hill,i would slide all around,so i took them in for new tires ,against docs orders not to lift and to stay out of the cold,but i feel great.
when i got into town i got a can of gas for it,then the truck wouldnt start,i had to get my father in law steve to come give me a jump.
long story short i had to buy another battery .
plus before we left our dog that can only use 3 legs wouldnt come up the ramp,and he wont let you lift him,so i it took 2 1/2 hours to get him in the house.
i had to shovel off the snow on the ramp then use a heat gun to melt the snow covered carpet.
but it was still a great day,im still kicking and living life,with my fantastic wife!!!!!,lol.ain't life grand,and i mean that!john

Some days are good, some not! I had a 12 hour work day and came home beat, but that's okay, tomorrow is another day. I'm just glad you're around to enjoy it John!

thanks guys,today if i can afford it ,i am going to go get some heat tape/cable to put under the carpet for the dog ramp,i think roof/gutter or water line heat cable will work to keep the snow melted off of it ,so our dog will use it,i hope,john
