CRAVN IN THE SNOW

I think this other one was from last year at your place.

Btw no garage???

I ensured that no snow will fall in Indy this season... bought the son a snow blower for Christmas. If it works, it'll be the best spent $$ in years!

Cravn... mix in a 2-3 car attached (and heated) garage... If I ever build, mine will have floor drains and concrete block up about 4' all around, so I can also wash the rides inside!

Yes I do have a 2 Car Shed..LOL

It has the John Deere in it, the power washer, the generator, all my tools..

Not a single car.

And that Mr Bill is our new Chevy Equinox, My Dad left it to me..

And the P/U truck, I traded that gas hog in for 2 small cars that get over 32 MPG..I was literally spending 200.00 a week in gas just to go to work..Great vehicle, shitty mileage, probably about 14mpg.

When I retire in 16 months 5 days, I will get another P/U truck, most likely Chevy, and I'll work part time a bunch closer to home.

And I will have a snow mover, real soon..Either a toro self powered one or an attatchment for the Deere, the attatchment is nice, it has a 42" clearing runs about 1400, the Toro is 1000..But I wont put the wear and strain on the JD..

Or, you could move into a nice condo like I did 5 years ago and watch the men shovel the walkways and clear the driveway of the 14" of snow we had. All while sipping a nice cup of java.

We are totally confused as to what tp do when we retire...I think she wants to stay here.

Well, you could do the "snow bird" thing and live in PA during the warmer months then head south from October through March. That's what my brother does. Actually, he's technically a Florida resident since he lives there (in a condo) just over 6 months out of the year then comes back home (he lives in the same condo complex as I do) for the rest. If you can afford it, it seems like having the best of both worlds. And, right now, Florida housing is very cheap (watch out for hurricane insurance, however).

Yeah Norm we were met with small print shock when we visited St Croix in august..We met with a realtor and he showed us a top floor 3 bedroom, 4 bath ocean front condo..135,000 I knew there was a catch..950.00 a month hurricane insurance and 350.00 a month condo fees. Taxe were dirt cheap 400.00 a year.

I`d say thats just a small price to pay to live in comfort..........

Dude your shitting me...Snow BLOWS...Mountains Blow, the only mountains I want to see are the Pitons..Now thats beauty


We snorkeled between the two, absolutely breathtaking.

Dont get me wrong Magic, where Im at now is ideal, we're 3 hrs west of the Alleghany Mountains, Im literally on the Susquehana River, which puts me less than 5 miles off the Chesapeke Bay. And Im two hours from the Atlantic Ocean.

3 Years ago this was the best place in America to be..But you know how it is I have the big 5-0 staring at me, the body is sore, getting firewood isnt fun anymore, I see snow and the old back just goes, damnnnn.

See I would be all right riding my John Deere, 52 weekends out of the year
