In the summer my Snow Trac sits up on top of a 4 post car lift. My 67 Jeepster sits in the prime garage bay in the middle of the garage.
We've had our first snowfall here, nothing like what people to our north have, but its early and possibly a harbinger of things to come. Today the weather is unseasonably warm so I took it as a sign.
Backed out all the lawn equipment that lives under the Snow Trac in the garage bay where the 4 post car lift sits. Lowered the Snow Trac and backed it out. I did need a bit of a top-off for the battery, but with the help of a charger it started right up.
So while the Snow Trac sat in the drive I went over and started the Jeepster. Or not
Hmm. Battery charger and try again. 
Battery charger for a bit longer and try again 
It started up but clearly was not happy. Got it backed out and drove it over 3 bays to the car lift where it would spend the winter. The front tires hit the ramps to go up onto the car lift and the engine died. 
Hit the ignition again and it fired right up, drove up the ramp onto the lift and things are looking up!
Back to the Snow Trac, moved it into the open bay. Hooked up the "battery tender" on the Snow Trac to keep it topped off. Back to the car lift and raised the Jeepster up into the air; before lifting it I hooked up another "battery tender" to the Jeepster so it will be good to go in the springtime.
Returned the lawn equipment to its spot, now under the Jeepster.
Out to the yard, there was a full pallet of Pine Bark Nuggets sitting next to one of the planter areas. 72 bags. All ripped open, all spread around to restore the planter.
Back to the garage, took the fork lift off the back of the tractor and put that away. I did NOT put the snow blower on the tractor. That is located in the other garage by the house. But its probably a bit too early to put the blower on the tractor. There may be a task or two that needs to be done before I hook up the blower.
Look up on the roof . . . the lovely Mrs_Bob was up there hooking up Christmas lights on the gutter. Apparently the theme this year is RED. She got the whole house done but didn't manage to get the lights on the trees or the other garage/guest house
SLACKER!
Things are ahead of schedule for snow season!!!
