Since I've been care-taking up in the foothills, I've learned to drive a tractor, back a trailer, and use manual transmission while snowplowing (now that the clutch has been replaced, I don't kill the engine every 5 minutes...yea!).
The man I work for just bought a new 'toy' - a skid-steer with a snowblower attachment, which theoretically ought to allow us to handle massive snowfalls. This week I will learn to drive it; given the foot, hand, and wrist controls, wouldn't it be logical to have some Uplifted chimp genes engrafted, to minimize damage in my immediate vicinity? So if you hear crashing crunches coming from the Denver area, spare a kindly thought for me - and the barn, the arena, the hay-shed, the fencing... :) Debbi who heard the first turkey gobble of the year on Saturday evening, which, combined with onset of rhinorrhea last Monday, confirms the arrival of Spring in this corner of the Rockies sometime within the next 2-3 weeks ____________________________________________________________________________________ Finding fabulous fares is fun.
