Hear on the coast in Plymouth we are usually seeing rain, but it appears the cross hairs are on us for this one. And of course I had used the break to rake and get 90% of my spring cleanup done, hope its just some stick pick up this time around. Last time around between two trees in my yard and two from neighbors coming into my yard, I had enough fun time.

Just spent the better part of three days (and 100 buck fee ) cutting up and hauling to the dump blow downs from the last two big blows,,,,

Enough already!

Best to the Mrs. Joe....

If they'd only ban storms... nobody needs 2 feet of snow.

We lost power for a few minutes and based on the wet sticky snow we are getting by the coast in Plymouth, I might have to break out the ellipse hot spot soon if the router goes down. Can't even see out the windows with all the snow plastered on them.

Plymouth is down now, no power for the past hour.

No power here, been out since mid morning.....

10" of slush out there ,,,

What do ya do without tv in the evening? ( remember I'm over the hill) :-)

Power back, but my back is junk, even the snow blower would move 1-1/2" of slush, covered in 2-3" of wet packed snow. Glad I shoveled before the freeze, I'd have needed an ice axe to find the car and truck.

Ughhh !!
What really blows about snow for me. I hand shovel out 2 elderly neighbors driveways after my own each time it snows. No spot for a snowblower to throw it. Usually get plowed in a few times to boot. Each storm is a lost days pay and 8-10 hours of tempting cardiac arrest. Can’t find any fat kids to get out of the basement video game parlor to make a few bucks.
Different world now, as a kid there’d be an army of us out there every snow storm.

I'm in Kingston MA and the pine tree situation here is unreal. I've never seen such widespread carnage. 40 footers dropping everywhere. Even though I enjoy having a permanent scent of chain/bar oil and pine another wind and wet snow event would suck here. Opening day 2 weeks away!

I don't know about happiest myself, but the Finnish sure make sweet rifles, their machining is top notch and accurate as hell.


This last storm put a dangerous 65 foot maple leaning on my shed with no way to cut it down to the ground safely. I emptied the shed mostly and will wait for a professional.

You and I need to hook up on the course this year and maybe on the water near that fella that smells like clams all the time.

Tikka or Sako? Same ownership now (Beretta). Tikka only makes bolt action rifles now, no semi-autos.

Tikka and yes Beretta imports them to the US.
I believe the Tikka are made by Sako but cost a third or more less. Sako are high quality, I can't afford them, maybe next time around.

Can you pull it off with your truck?

no, it would be easier to yank the shed out from under it but grass is wet and right where my leaching field is, besides I have a 2500 with 80 psi tires that have no grip. I thought about putting a cable winch from one tree to the other to keep it from getting worse.

Tikka and Sako merged, maybe 30-40 years ago.
