Yay! I'm unemployed!
Now I'll have to see about getting the company I own to hire me... =)
I'll have to go up before the entire board for the interview process... that'll be rough. I know so much about me already, I'm really not sure what kind of questions I should ask myself...
Big step. Many appointments coming up. Need to get everything ready to go because it's showtime...
In other news, I'll be giving my car some much needed R&R on Monday. Put winter wipers on. Leave it at the garage until it has good oil and working turn signals. 60-70 miles a day, five days a week for five years is enough to wear out any piece of machinery. Maybe even get the check engine light fixed, for once.
This weekend, much to do. It looks like a good chance for plowing tomorrow morning. Have to assemble the wheelbarrow. Put the brush blades on the heavy trimmer and the split-boom trimmer. Need to assemble the new spreader, give it a quick trial run in the snow and see how it does. The old one - maybe 20-30 years old? - is too fragile now, and it would slip way too much. Also, it's a drop spreader, and much lower to the ground than this one. The new one has big ol' pneumatic tires instead of solid plastic ones. Both those will factor into how good it runs on snow in general and in this meadow in particular.
To continue this fragmented style of post, I installed the Slushbusters. Had to warm the truck up for a while - the adhesive likes to be above 40 degrees when first installed. So I sat around, listening to tunes and waited. The supplemental heater really, umm, heats things up, so it wasn't that long until I could pop on all the lights, squeegee the window dry, and install the strips. Gave it a few test runs and I think they'll work. We'll see if it's still snowing tomorrow morning!

Bath got maybe 2" of snow. I ran out of places to shovel. :(...
But it looks pretty.
Well don't be too hard on yourself. I'm sure you'll get the job. Be confident. I mean, you're probably just as skilled as the guy hiring you. lol

Still thinking on what I can do for the equipment mounts, by the way. Looks like I might need to have at least a few extrusions custom-made.
You should stop by some time, take a look. Maybe get some practice in! =)

Good luck on that interview.
