The Last Snow in my Yard in Gaylord ! , Yippee

SPRING WORK OUTSIDE – The front snowhill finally melted two days ago in our yard , but you can see we still have a little snow along the fence.
It is above freezing today, yippee , and it could hit fifty degrees !! But the NE wind is cold. I brought home the two small John Deere Tractors today and this picture shows me stopping a minute to take a picture power raking the front lawn . The sweeper sure does a nice , quick job of dethaching lifting up the grass from the winter snow. It’s hard to see , but the thatch behind the tractor on the ground is about 6 bushels worth from just a small area. It would be impossible to rake this hard by hand . I also have a steel spring tooth dethacher too on the other small John Deere.
FIVE DAYS OF WALKING OUTSIDE – It really seems so good to be walking outside again after the long winter. This is five days in a row now we have walked twice a day at 6 miles. It’s hard to believe i have cut my calories by 50% since Jan. first and I have hardly lost any weight. Now if the weather finally gets warm , I will be more active outside for sure. The positive thing is I did lose 10 lbs and did not gain anymore over the winter. The average person gains three lbs. every year so I can say that was not me or Deb, ha,ha.
Liebherr R9800 – I got the 18 bogie wheel assemblies done and I am working on two large front track roller wheel parts now.
Have a Great Wed. !!
