It's time of yr when people try to start the mower & it won't...so shops are full This battery was old & mower was running great. Winter cold took last breath from that battery. Couldn't even recharge it! Starts right up now.

Yeah... I swapped out the tires on Friday... put the snow melt into storage...


It snowed today.

But then it switched from snow to rain... the resulting slush looks like it will all vanish, at least from walk ways etc...

So... I didn't take the ice melt back out.

When I was growing up in Connecticut we had studded snow tires, but they had to be removed by April 15th. I recall snow falling in early May.

Coffee is ready. It’s 42 and windy with high of 64 today. Texas is clear, the storm is moving east, Kentucky will be clear this late afternoon, the east coast is getting hammered.

Turned on news, Amarillo got 2” of snow. Freeze warnings for north and northeast Texas. But moisture is clearing out.

Cooler here today...may hit 70. Also raining. Light, off & on, all day. Winds gone. Last day home, had a week of hot & very windy. Not very productive but, had a rested week. I'll go by one of the stores being renovated, later today. Need to see if they'll be "ready" for my work scheduled for tomorrow, in case I need to switcharoo jobs.

Hayed up barn racks yesterday eve, knowing rain was coming. Should be a break noonish, so I can refill for heavier stuff later. How convenient! Big job today is getting rid of 7 dz eggs.

Woke up 3:20...3:50...4:15...etc. Bleh.

Figured out how to brew with a new coffeemaker at work, a gift from one of the faculty. One side brews, the other takes K-cups. I'm not impressed, it left coffee grounds all over the water spraying mechanism. There's no way to detach it for cleaning. Way to go

Storms are forecast to arrive this afternoon.

So harvest day is tomorrow -- I know there's a big thread on tanning, and it covers all sorts of animals.
General question - is it worth the time and effort? Give it try 'just because'? One of the lambs has a nice pelt - fuzzy/wooly for a hair sheep, and the other two are more hair.
Thoughts? Anything I need to do right away? Any supplies I should have on day 1??
Will head down the YouTube rabbit hole as soon as I can - but chores and other things call for now.

Don't bother with snow tires, studded tires, winter tires or summer tires, just get some M/T 10 ply tires and run'em year around. Told by one neighbor who thinks they know it all that doesn't live here full time that A/T are best so they don't sling up bigger rocks hitting the vehicle. I beg to differ, have two chips in my windshield from regular highway steer tires, not even M/T tires on my truck.

Eh.... after many years of driving with various kinds of tires...

In the conditions I drive, studded rule.

Some of the old studded tires of years past can be an issue on hard ice, and skate along the top... but I haven't experienced that with the newer studded tires.

It might just be that it rarely goes below 0F where I am at.

Anyway, I love my Nokian tires.
