Ha tell me about. I concur with regard to the mailbox; think I may move ahead with this plan. It also allows me to kill two birds with one stone by checking the gauge and the mail at the same time. Will also encourage me to check the mail daily, as I should. I have a pretty steep driveway, so my motivation to traverse to the end and back on a daily basis has been......how shall we say, limited haha.
My wife couldn't care less about the weather, except for when it's poor or interferes with her plans, then I receive full blame for what's occurring
