Hey all, As some of you know, my wife and I purchased a decent sized country property almost 2 years ago. We have about a 1500ft gravel drive with quite a steep incline to get into the upper drive. The entire drive is downhill in varying degrees, so its usually not to bad to get out, however, coming back uphill doesn't always work out as well. We acquired an AWD compact SUV for my wife and it has done very well this year, but all the same, with the weather in KY as of the last few weeks (two snows dropping over a foot in a few hours). Last year was less snow at once, but more over the course of winter. Our driveway has been less than desirable for traversing durin…

I bought a dash cam at the Gun Show of the West in Del Mar, CA. It cost $100 cash and came with a 32 Gig memory card. I have it set to turn on when the engine starts and shut down when the key's turned off. It works good and no question of he said she said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn34ZcEd418&feature=youtu.be Yes, I did stop and offer assistance.

Pretty much says it. Wife has been bringing in the firewood & using the ATV to plow snow... I can't get on the backhoe. Last time the JD was run was when a family member plowed us out a couple of years ago. Wife doesn't want me on the backhoe & refuses to help so there it sits, a big lawn ornament. We're gonna be sorry...

I had to break out this morning and take a day off from both jobs. So I loaded up the ATV and left and headed up Denny Creek Road. My first stop was to hit the Old Denny Creek TV Tower. Back long ago in the 90's before satellite TV was available the neighborhood invested in the local TV tower a few bucks from everyone to pay for the power and the FCC license. So while I was up on the knob I broke out my Fuji FinePix HS30 EXR camera and attempted to shot a picture of the house. I was shocked when I got home and seen the picture turned out. I'm on the right side you can see the butt of the RV in the photo as well as the very large maple tree out back and a bit of smoke…

. I've never had to deal with it before but we are having -0 weather here right now and I have a tractor that is gelled and snow to plow. I was wondering what your procedure is to thaw one out. I've read PS 911 helps but not sure how to do it. Thanks Dave

2002 Bombadier Quest 650. Bought used. Probably some blow-by. It's touchy. Set throttle in warm weather & it stalls often in cold. Set throttle in cold weather & it runs too fast to shift when running. Use is mainly plowing snow. (Pretty rough duty since the snow is higher than the blade.) Occasionally dragging firewood out. Note: it's only a single cylinder... plug has to be "good". Problem is... had a new standard spark plug NGK DCPR8e start of the winter. The one that came out was sooted black. Just had to put in a spare today. Turned over but wouldn't start. Started right up with new plug. The plug that came out was "clean". Only have one …

I spent the weekend with my oldest son and other extended family members ice fishing in central Utah. Despite the abnormally warm weather, we were able to get out on the ice. Saturday, the temps were in the low 60's, certainly odd sitting on the ice in those temps. The fishing was as great as we had ever experienced with each of us catching around 70 trout for the weekend. The winner was my 13 year-old nephew and his 25" Laker. It was his biggest fish and he couldn't have been happier. Here is a picture of my boy and a rainbow that he caught yesterday morning. The wind was keeping the temperatures a little cooler that Saturday. Here is my nephew's Lake Tro…
