Finally finished picking up leaves. Split, stacked and covered every piece of cordwood I have on the property. Moved a cord inside.
Cleaned gutters. Killed water to and drained outdoor spigots. Sta-bil'd all the things. Put away the hummingbird feeder and took out the seed feeder. Christmas lights up. Real tree. Moved snowblower from shed to garage and lawn tractor from garage to shed. Need to get the winter tires on the SO's car. Or sell it and get all wheel. Made to-do list of inside winter projects. |

Shapened the edges, gotta get some wax. My sisters fiancé asked me to go up to VT next week. I haven't been snowboarding in like 5 years. I'm gonna go outside and belly flop out of some trees to prepare my body for the beating.
ETA: Snow is officially in the forecast now.

Now I just want to be able to go down the hill and not pull or strain or sprain or break anything. |

I am not ready!
I still have to clean my walk behind mower and tractor, and then change oil, drain fuel, and ready for storage. Then I have to get my snow thrower out from the back of the garage behind the generators, log splitter and other stuff. It is getting more difficult each year particularly with the angina. I want to move somewhere warm, but is not an option now if ever. I hate Connecticut! |

Ariens are top notch, I had one at one of my previous jobs and nothing can beat it! Now to get one of the (as my wife would call it) "queer snowblower cabin things." 
I am using the fiberglass poles for the first time this year. I picked them up at home depot pretty cheap, I can't remember exactly what I paid though. |

Took off mowing deck, and vacuum, put on the Snowblower on the Bolens, greased chain, pto shaft, new belt, oiled auger spindle, new headgaskets, spark plugs and previously new flywheel and starter.
Leaves up, yard picked up, gutters clean, vacuumed radiators, 3/4 tank of oil and a new heatpump ductless, brand new Chevy pickup truck, and a new 243 ruger American. I'm ready. |
