7/ Even as i was giving the snowblower its annual maintenance and mounting it on the tractor, imwas thinking "isn't this a bit early?" Weather report today predicts 5-6" of snow a week out. Wow!

Also, a week or more of low temperatures.
You know, I COULD slaughter the pigs this weekend, gut them, and hang them for a week, then butcher a week or so out...
But maybe time is better spent dropping a few marked trees and skidding them to the firewood area before snow?
