As a Vietnam vet, presumably you are, like many of us here, not a spring

careful, take it easy. Hire it done if you can't use the tractor. Even
paying one or two hundred bucks is way cheaper than a visit to the
ER...or funeral home.

Yep, Nom vet here. it was what i call heart attack snow. took my time,
took breaks, made it. gotta use your head. sorry some people in the
area didn't. lots of power lines down. i got lucky this time. over the
hill from me, bout 2 miles, they lost 3 transformers. so, guess i
missed the bullet. and, yep, no spring chicken here. on the bad side
of sixty. been trying to retire for the last 2 years. but, i like to
say, doin the best we can. thanks for the concern.
