Praise God you have the strength to portray your faith in this world, it's becoming too uncommon and it shows. I pray for you regularly, keep doing what you do, we enjoy it.

[@Dirtmonkey]

I appreciate your kind words.

Merry Christmas Stanley !!!. Ice just sucks when it decides not to work the way you want to work it. When it cooperates it's a breeze. Over 1 million subscibers & chugging right along. Here's to a new year & many more interesting videos to come. Wish you & family& your company the very best for the coming year may it be better & better for you all o7 !!!!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@royreynolds108]

Hey Stan, I don't miss the ice and snow. I lived in Genesee County, MI for 7 years. When I want ice and snow, I watch you plow snow and when I have had enough, I turn y;ou off. I am glad I live down here in Texas and you live in Minnesota. Happy New Year.

[@Dirtmonkey]

I hear ya! It gets old after awhile.

Enjoy the chaos Stan. Man makes plans and God smiles Man swaps plans for kids and God chuckles Man makes new plans and God starts laughing Man gives up plans, spends time with grandkids and God nods All is as it should be

Welcome to the world of ponds, in winter I used to shut down my filtration systems and install an air bubbler to keep a hole open for the Koi also to control algae growth I used an uv light ..

I switched to Mucks. The reason is when they fold down they're about the height of your boots but I can always pull it further up to just about my knee for added protection from the inclement weather. My problem is not getting them on but always getting them off as my feet tend to swell when I'm on them too long 😅 And as of late I usually don't let the cold bother me and may even go out in a t-shirt in 25 to 35° weather for half an hour or so. However, my fingers get so freaking cold and raw to the Bone. Literally that it hurts so much. I have to stop and switch gloves for any duration of time. The joys of getting older

[@shawnkane7152]

I am hopeful that the Coy fish made it through the disaster. Merry Christmas Stan & family!🎄🇺🇸🙏

You are effing cool! I moved to st paul from san francisco almost 8 years. Bought a house! I love it here! LOVE IT! It's a shame what is happening! Fight fight fight! God bless you sir! I would love to work with and for you. You're cool. PRINCE WOULD NOT HAVE THIS !

Merry Christmas Stan! Hope you had a nice day off! Keep up the great work!

[@billvandorn5332]

We had two beautiful children, a girl and a boy. The third miscarried + I came to the realization that we are all God's children and it is his right and privilege to take us when He wants to... And their children are not ours. They're His... Everything in life was a blessing until it became something different and then I realized how often mankind has to label everything in order to communicate better and Then, to not say this is mine as if I owned it. Sure, I may own my truck or I might own my house but I don't own my wife nor do I own my children... And the only thing I own is my heart, my soul and my thoughts and the relationship I have with God... Best of luck Stan, go get them and God bless you abundantly!

God bless you to my friend!

Power rake with carbide teeth will grind right through that ice down to the gravel. Been doing it for years without hurting it at all. Be careful on concrete or asphalt because the teeth will go through that too.

Pulling the pump sounds like the kind of fun I don't like having anymore. I give up financial security for time with my 2yr old 21:30 who wants gravel on the driveway anyhow. Its more fun in the grass

[@Dirtmonkey]

Time with Kids is priceless

[@mikedirks5889]

Stan, you always seem so happy. As a business owner that is a landscaper/lawn company, winter is my downfall. I find it hard to stay in a good mood. Nobody talks about that side of being a business owner. You mentioned at the end of the video, how you don't see much sun in the winter, in Minnesota. I find it to be the same in Illinois too. How do you stay so happy while its not snowing and just gloomy out? Lol

[@Dirtmonkey]

Everything that happens in life is by choice. Including your attitude and mood. U get those bad thoughts frequently. But I work hard to tune them out and shut them down FAST!

[@Iamthathillbilly]

​@Dirtmonkey this is the day the lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. Its not possible every day, but I always try to wake up and tell myself, no matter what happens, it's gonna be a good day.

Ive been wearing a pair of helly hansen boots recently, never had them before but i was 200% done with dakotas only lasting 6 months. So far theyre awesome. Theyre warm enough for the cold days and waterproof. Ive got a bad ankle so i cant wear slip ons, i need the support of an inch rise tied tight
