I'm going to cut pulp off the property to keep me busy. Hoping to get about 50 cord or so. I'll be plowing when it snows.

We keep right on with the turf construction & maintenance, we just travel much farther south to do it. LOL.
We also do a LOT of snow removal, and now firewood as well.
I'm also debating a few other things, greenhouses, etc.
Best of luck. ....

Sitting around watching TV and getting fat is for people who don't have 60+ people (plus their families) depending on them for their paycheque at the end of every week....
