My gift was a new 28 x 32 garage built by the Amish. Just completed day before heavy snow following day. Got plow truck inside just in time along with JD 420 track loader, Farmall A, and Cushman 6' lawn mower. MM335 restoration project didn't make it in. Still under tarps for last 3 years. Can't wait to get inside. Won't have to pick dropped nuts/ bolts/ etc out of the lawn. Kids asked why having a garage built now at 80 years of age? I replied: figure to live until 95 so have time to have good place to complete all my "get to around " projects. Latest storm blew thru last nite in 55 degree temperature & my weather station recorded 44 mph wind gusts.15+ inches snow almost gone. Got to get rid of horse drawn threshing machine w/ 16' straw stacker (free); 1926 model T power unit mounted on Sears supplied steel wheels/ 6" flat belt pulley; Tow behind Massy Harris 55 6' combine. Stay safe & OK wear mask inside a bank!
