What did you accomplish today?

On the subject of the op......

I've been going nuts....I'm usually very active but this curve ball of covid has changed that. Drastically! At first in March April I'd bring the kids for a easy hike....long walk really. Always ended up carrying one home...I don't want to beat them up. So I took it easy....now it's been months of taking it easy and I needed to go out, more than playing....I have a few pairs of kid size snow shoes....the older one has used them many times lol. But for the little guy I ended up cutting 2 pieces of pool noodle to fill the gap between his boots and the bindings. It worked! He didn't even want to follow.....he broke his own trail. That's not easy :) But we ended up doing a little hike and when we came back they played in the yard......and I just packed out badass sledding chutes. Did laps up and down the hill for a hr or two. I needed it.

Our (my) little drop-in is now about 5'6" to the deck (probably around 5'+ wide at the top) I plowed it out rough with the quad and plow. Hit it with the shovel to get the basic shape.....then used the snow blower to drop some snow. The blower makes a hard crust on the feature. Then hit it with a shovel again to smooth it out. The drop-in also has a small sister across from it so you can go straight or hit the other 1/4 pipe that is about 3' wide at the top maybe 4'6" to the deck. The smaller one has more vert. I have a okay roll in to the back of the bigger drop-in.......damn I'm rambling and high and building a sick terrain park on my little hill. But really this is what is already there.....I have rails but the kids are to small for those so I'm not putting those out.....it was a good day ;)

Not against you LG but I don't think that's funny at all......seriously, people do die that way. Being buried alive is a scary situation. And if you haven't experienced it....it's something you never ever want to go through. 3-4 years ago a mother and I believe her daughter went missing on a ski day...not here but, they found the bodies next to the house. I have a bad spot I can get hit from 2 stories up. It will kill you.


Oh and @Grandpapy remount those gutters on hanging chains......take em down in the winter ;)

I'd agree with you if all that snow just happened to fall on him.

Still funny. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
 
I'm getting ready to help a buddy go get a load of tile board and mortar mix with my truck...He's a union tile setter and is laid off...and hoping to get him to do a tile repair for me!! Super talented guy!

We had snow 3 days in a row this week, today is nice, but cold, and the sun just popped out, but they are calling for more snow and sleet tomorrow...
 
Post hole #2 dug this morning. I'll get the post cut and hopefully get it concreted in the ground today. I'll probably need more than the one bag of crete I have on hand but it should be enough to hold it vertical. It needs to harden a couple days before I mess with the cross boards.
I still need to go get groceries.

Today, I said goodbye to an awesome woman.

Signed the funeral home paperwork, called the lawyer and I think it's time for a long over due breakdown.

I might have to deal with the medical equipment people tonight or tomorrow and then my life can start up again.
