Chains on the snow plow and two wheel drive, fluids changed in both loaders, skid steer, and trucks, and opened up the shop to store the main work truck. Bought new overalls, long underwear, gloves, and filled all three of the 100 lb. propane bottles. Cleaned all the guns, opened all gates, moved the horses to their winter home, and sold the cattle. Two trailers need to be moved to sheds to avoid filling with snow, a door on the shop, and burning the dead pile are the agenda for tomorrow.
Now it is time to get back to work. Spent today in sub zero temps trying to start machinery, cutting iron, and fighting the wind. In the winter it is a pleasure not to fight the bugs, in the spring it is a pleasure to see the next generation of wildlife, in the summer it is a pleasure not to fight the snow, and in the fall it is a pleasure to see the mating season for most animals.
Life cannot get any better than this. Feel sorry for those that the only change in seasons means changing jackets.
