At least down here the snow only stays on the ground for a few days to a week. Some years in NY we didn't see the ground from before Thanksgiving till March and the piles finally went away in April or May. My only surprise was when they talked about more snow at higher elevations that the 300' we are up on the side of the mountain can make a difference of 2 or 3" of snow from a mile away. A neighbor that now lives about 200 feet lower than us use to live about 300 feet further up and he said that would make another 2-3" of difference.

Thanks Red for the recommendation I have two different proximity alarms on my 1200' drive. One is the same style as the Dakota and the other is above ground. The below ground one was first and was missing about 20% of the traffic and almost always missed the UPS truck, can't get much more mass than that. I added the second one after a friend had good luck with the brand and it is about 80% also and also misses UPS trucks most of the time. I figured if both were 80% I could get close to 100% between the two but they both seem to miss the same vehicles most of the time. I was looking to see what else was available. I really would like to know why the UPS trucks misses most of the time, like you my lawnmower, that has a fiberglass body on a steel frame, sets both off no problem. A plus for have two with different alert sounds is you can tell if the vehicle is coming or going.

I always figured why settle for a 6 pack when I could have a pony keg.

Ford is planning a new pickup that will be the size of the original Ranger and will call it Maverick. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/2022-ford-maverick-pickup-everything-we-know/ar-BB17BM3a

If you are passing on the Mosquito you might want to look at the Ruger SR22. I have recommended to numerous people as a first pistol and not one has regretted buying it. I think at last count I have directly or indirectly influenced 7 people to buy one. Most bought the standard barrel but a few bought the long barrel version. I have the standard model.

Local Ford dealer said he had pre orders deposits for 49 Bronco, most he ever got for any new model. Also said he had zero for the new Mustang Mach-E.

I know just what you're looking for, I haven't found any in NE TN either. My wife and I always had one when we would go to visit her Mother but have not had many reasons to go to Indiana since she passed. I almost ordered what I thought was the same thing in Johnson City and luckily I mentioned to the friends with me that I was surprised to find it on the menu and they were quick to tell me it was not what I was looking for and when I asked the waitress she assured me it was not what I wanted but thought it sounded good.

I have an outside antenna that pulls in something like 82 channels of which around 30 are unique and have something worth watching once in awhile. I feed the antenna to a quad tuner on my computer and use Plex to record and store shows so I can skip commercials. Plex is free but if you want a TV guide you pay a monthly/yearly fee or you can get a lifetime membership that is around $100 but they have sales all the time, I think I paid $69. I set it up to record current and some old favorites, you can set it to record show but not to duplicate so if you just ignore it for awhile you can get a complete series to watch when ever. I also have a basic Hulu subscription without ads that is $13/month and a Netflix subscription for one TV at a time, standard resolution, don't remember the cost but it is their cheapest plan. I also have Roku and watch some of their free stuff. I have an old computer computer hooked to my main TV so that allows me to stream from lots of web sources. Uncle Earl is one of my favorites, lots of old tv shows with no commercials. Not the best resolution but good enough. Recently started watching the free stuff on Peacock. Biggest problem stuff is scattered all over so it is sometimes hard to find the show I want.

I use a notes program on my Mac called MacJournal and its corresponding app on my iPhone. They can be synced together. Since it is on my computer (as well as iPhone) it gets backed up as part of my normal weekly backup schedule and monthly backup that gets kept in a fireproof box in my gun safe. I just keep a simple list with serial number and a few notes about the gun.
