Glenn in Caledon Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Finally back down to a tshirt working yesterday. Be glad yo see the rest of this white shirt gone. Might actually get the roof on this thing before I have to get in a tractor to plant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were north yesterday and the windshield was splattered with lots of little bugs. Nothing biting yet but lots of swarms. I'm going to guess you've got maybe two weeks before we start making blood donations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irv Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Snowies off of both vehicles, interior and exterior cleanings/washings on both vehicles, oil change on the truck and a bunch of yard/garage work. The only thing I wish I could have accomplished fell through and that was putting my snowmobile trailer and my son's sled in storage. It was nice to finally get these things done and enjoy some nice weather to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Z Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Unbelievable as it may sound I was having a coffee on the deck yesterday morning when I heard a sled on the trail out back. I went to check later that day and sure enough some die hard had stopped at the Shelter and left a 10 cent donation on the picnic table. No doubt soaking up the sun for a while and digging the fact that he was out for a final rip on April 22nd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
