It hadn't been lost on me that there was no way I was getting to that 640 Pro at 4 o'clock, but my coat pockets were stuffed with other metal tools so it couldn't go there.



The temp was zero (F), 15-20 mph wind, but it was sunny! I followed the new snow blower around for about three and a half hours through 18"-28" deep snow: my driveway, a quarter mile trip down the hill to a neighbor's to do their driveway, and back. My peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a guy slowly approaching me from the right. It was a another neighbor with a red-neckerchief-wrapped plate of cookies and a cheery, "Merry Christmas." Whew! Escaped that threat.
