Our leaves started to turn about six weeks ago, and they have been falling for a couple of weeks, but I think more than half of them are still on the trees. Unless we get a lot of wind, it will be another month or so before the trees are all bare. I don't have a snowmobile, but my pickup truck has 4WD, and I have no problem getting out when it snows. I don't drive it in the woods anymore, I use my tractor for that and for snowplowing. I have several small engine tools, but I only drain the gas out of the string trimmer. I use the chainsaw off and on all year so it doesn't have a dormant season. I have found it's better to not run the gas out of the hydraulic wood splitter, which has a 4-cycle engine, because it makes it hard to start next time. I have a couple other units that I haven't used in years, and I seem to remember running them dry after their last usage. Everything is kept in an unheated steel barn, so there is no need to cover anything up. I blew out the garden hose the other day, and the gas grill is going to join it in the barn any day now.
My computer monitor has been looking weird lately, all the text looks like it's being smeared to the right, and I can't find an adjustment for that. It must be about 15 years old, having outlived two previous computers. How long are these things supposed to last?
