We haven’t gotten as much snow as they predicted so far, but it’s still coming down lightly. I shoveled the walk and snowblowed the driveway.

About 4 months ago I got new (better) tires for my lawn tractor which has the snowblower on the front of it. I also added 80 pounds (36 kg) of additional weight to the back, bringing the total to 160 lbs (72kg) (plus the driver, whose weight shall remain a mystery). The new combo is GREAT. Even with chains, the old tires would spin all the time going up the hill. These tires did a great job.

Yesterday I installed 3 overhead bulb sockets in the shed. They are 120 volt and powered by an inverter. I have a 100w solar panel which charges a 105Ah lead acid battery which runs the inverter. It’s great!

Since I’m talking about lawn mowers and sheds and snow, I’ll share a couple of pictures since I’m so proud of it all. The new tires and weights can be seen in the first picture, along with the new lights.
