First pot down. Very very good. Snowed most of the night. I have about 3 inches on my deck and grass. Pavement is ok. Supposed to all be melted by this afternoon. In the 70s by next week. Is this the last snow? huh

Ready to dismantle my leaking 55 so that I can return it to the store. Getting the sand out will be the biggest issue. ::)

Hi Jon and Willie, good coffee here too, my favorite is still Hazelnut.  Would you believe this is our second year with no snow?  I do wish we had a bit, say an inch or two.  All we have is cold, rain and wind.  Sure am looking forward to Spring.

Clean as new with the shop vac. All packed up in the box it came in. Tank is up the steps now. Gravity doesn't work well going up the steps but I made it. Good thing it was protected in the box. I could slide it some. lol

Mission accomplished. New setup is down in the basement. I even got a extra LED light out of the deal. If I was not so honest I would have given them an old Penguin 350 in exchange for the new one that came with the setup but I didn't. mim mim mim mim mim
