    HA! No, I'm no where near rich... I just picked well when I moved here. :) In fact, my address can be either Minnetonka or Hopkins, but I thought "Minnetonka" sounded cooler. And all of this was before I knew anything about the area.

    Wow, nice pictures! Love those trees, all full of snow...

    Any trouble getting through that deep of snow?

    ^not to bad at all, gotta keep your momentum up. Its pretty sticky snow and plugs up the all terrains if you don't keep them spinning a bit. Snows up to the door sills in spots!

    My biggest problem with snow is when I get buried to the frame. :laugh: Then that takes some maneuvering and/or digging. But only because the tires can't dig down to solid ground or the frame is literally holding it in place. Last time that happened I was able to use my Hi-Lift to jack up the trailer hitch and move the rear wheels over to solid ground, and then just back out. :D

    Hey, now that's pretty cool! How does that work? A write with pics if you have them would be a cool idea for the cheap/free thread! :thumbsup: Before I derail this thread too much, are you still using the main control box? With it's button turned on all the time? Assuming, of course, you used the same LED set as me. :laugh:
