Think we A'skert 'em off????

[Dougster]

Yeah, I need to talk more to MahindraUSA to see if they will go into sponsoring tractor pulling. Gotta get them to go grass roots. And merchandising. Also, I am a firm believer that a dealer can make you swear or praise any brand of tractor. You have to have good support no matter what color you have.

You have your work cut out for you... but I think you already know that! I believe that World Ag Expo starts today! So why aren't you out there where you belong... representing and promoting the Mahindra ownership experience here in the good ole' USA!!!

OMG you had to ask.....Brace yourself my man, you are in for it now. And that may not be big enough for you to hide behind. Sorry newt, I posted this BEFORE I saw you had been sucked into the thread. Understand, once in NEVER out.

Now what's that supposed to mean Al? You make NTT's very first Super-Thread sound like a giant Black Hole of good tractor conversation. T'ain't that way at all! It's more like the famous bar scene in Star Wars. Anything goes... just watch out who you start to talk with!

Oh it's snowing down here too, in the warm part of New England...sept it's gowna rain heavy tomorrow. Mud again by noon, I'm getting use to it. ... Not that I want snow, I want spring!!! We tropical New Englanders don't have snow machines, (skido..polaris) it's whatcha call a waste of $$$, it'd be like me getting a snow blower that I'd use one day a year... maybe . Now if it would snow enough to play in,.. then ...well money better spent..

SNOW....YUCK Had all I wanna see for a while.

We have guests coming at work early tomorrow. (Open house for many of our regular clients, select sub-contractors, and a few of our suppliers) We had 4+" of snow last night/this morning that ended with freezing rain. So 4" snow with a crunchy layer on top. And NO equipment operators available.

SO, Yours truely wave: ) gets to spend 4 hours in an open cockpit Bobcat clearing the parking lot and driveway. When I was done, I was soaking wet, cold, and headed for the house.

And when I get home....? Crank up that CLASSIC MF 150 and clear the driveway.

I can honestly say without any reservations, I've had ALL the snow I care to see for another year, thankyouverymuch.

Hey folks, its been snow flurring here most of the day. Only about 1/4 inch so it really wasnt worth starting in the first place! 14 degrees out with 10 mph breeze. I use to like winter but days like this drive me nuts. If its going to be cold, then like a foot or so! Oh well, thats my rant and rave for the night. Boy do I feel better! OMG!!! I was looking throught the smiles and found this little beauty !! For some reason it just cought my eye!! Too funny!! Oh yea, I forgot !!

Junk you don't know what snow is. So far to date at the house I believe we are over 96" of the white stuff. 10" to 12" more on the way for tonight with more on the way Friday and Monday.

4" + a little bit of rain is child's play.

This is what you get for living within the arctic circle. But me??? All I'm asking for is a billable push or two this week so I can turn the dang heat back on and eat something other than gruel! Is that really too much to ask???

Now that ain't funny Ed! Jay and I are studying the situation as we speak. Frankly, it isn't looking good. Just as I expect to be hitting my trigger point, the heavy rain is due to start. Been there, done that before... and I can tell you that clients aren't amused when you try to charge them for pushing around water.

Tell them that you are doing them a valuable service. If that water built up it would find it's way into their basements sooner or later.

Hey Ed, You have no worries, .. you want snow ... you're live'n in a good spot for it.

I want spring..60+ degrees.... mud dried up ... the sun shining when I get out of work, etc.

Sounds like a Maine kinda scam story to me. Wouldn't fly down here. You forget that the old Dougster is an HONEST businessman.

What is snow, exactly? I'm too young (56) to remember it.

Tim,
That is exactly (well 70+ degrees) what we had yesterday and last weekend. I was wearing a sleeveless shirt yesterday out working on the barn. A blue norther blew thru this morning with a ton of rain. It is 40 degrees now and will likely go into the 30s again before sunup. Which is about right. 40 degree difference between night and day. Yep, cold and flu season is here. Hopefully I will be able to tan a little more tomorrow working on the barn.
hugs, Brandi

Ed - Well, now we know that Texans don't know a hoot about where Lobsta comes from.

I just checked and I got everything back again (Good for me ; ? for NTTland ). A quick read of the data looks interesting. I think Ol' Dougster will get something to push around with this pending Tuesday - Wednesday system. I also think something is brewing for the weekend in the NE.

Jay

Well, the poor old Dougster will not get a billable push out of the overnight storm. While the snow started fast and furious last night and seemed to have good potential to add up to a good storm... ...and town plows even made runs overnight for both plowing and salting... ...this morning the rain has managed to suppress driveway snow depths to below the trigger point. As with past storms, I was again forced to blast out the usual group e-mail making snowplowing optional and at owner request. So far, no requests.

Looks like no heat nor solid food for the old Dougster again today.
