First day plowing with my new plow vehicle! For some years, I plowed with a bronco 2 and it had no breaks. What a way to plow snow, eh? Well, the last couple of years my Bronco 2 has failed me, even when I thought I had it running again, as soon as the snow hit and I needed it, it wouldn't work. So, a couple of years of shoveling until I was just to sore to move, then getting the neighbor to plow me out, and I finally talked the wife into getting an ATV with a plow. The thing is, I get to use it in the summer too. That alone is worth it.

Tonight, I spend an hour in the dark trying to get the plow on and once I figure it out I realize it is stupid simple. Duh! Then, an hour plowing my driveway and we had this heavy, wet snow and the ground is still soft. I had a heck of a time, but by the time I finished, I was getting the hang of it and having a blast. What ATV did I get? Not the super expensive one, nope, I got a Sportsman 450 H.O. 2016. The first new thing I ever got. I am wiping a tear from my eye now. I am in love. It is nothing I can really afford, but truth be told, Shoveling was killing me. Besides, now the boys are taking an interest in the great outdoors. Safety first, though.
