I don't want to hear that, I was planning on going to Amery Sunday and bringing the Bayliner back to my house so that I can show it to a few potential buyers.

Last year we had snow into June.
To me, April is just another month of winter.

Snowin', blowin' and schools are closin'.................Telephone is also ringin'. A couple of snowbirds came back today....Bahahaha

End of contract timeframe sounds good. I'll also talk it up with some of the other better plow guys to see what they're doing.....

I just looked at the one I have and there is no mention of when it ends. Just says season on it.

I think that's pretty common. I thought about X amount of dollars for say 10 plows. Anything after would be X per time. And give them the option of going per time for the season. But in the long run staying under contract would still be a better deal....... I have a "few" months to think about it.
