Was difficult to get any pictures or even get away for coffee. Ultimately, I just said, “ You stay here. I will bring you snow. Put it over there”. And tomorrow is day two of cleaning up. All that said, I couldn’t have gotten better results being solo. And I kinda like teaching the up and coming folks. He’s a good listener, when the earbuds aren’t in, takes criticism well, and owns up to his mistakes. He damaged some stuff, nothing major, all can be fixed in house. On the plus side, I found a hydraulic leak on my truck plow today that has been leaking some time undetected. Reservoir holds 2 quarts. I added 40 oz. Not lol gotta flip or replace a cutting edge on our push box, add some snow stakes since my regular plow buddy is still out due to surgeries and refuel, re grease and re fit for what should and hopefully be a much deserved banger for our area. Bring back summer school!! Your story's brought back memory for me. My father, used to pull me in a sleed, too as a child back in the early eighties, from Valley Green to the long gone Hattie Harris gas station out by redland high school, just because him and my mother would never stock up on cigarettes before the storms. In their defense, I don't believe they quite had the warning time we had today. Unfortunately, my son's all grown up and moved out two years ago. I'm sure it would have been nice to have his help. They grow up too fast man. I really hope you get to experience a few more events with them while they're still young. Well, Fairview township just put a few tons of snow back in my driveway so I guess it's back to work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant came to town and the owner sold a long held family business. Now its a combination physical therapy office and a Dollar General. (I frequent both) shh, don’t tell. Haha Fairview didn’t Plow my bosses neighborhood until like 11 today. Went by on my way home. Will be first on my list of to dos tomorrow. They did his mailbox and driveway apron dirty. Even after I had cleaned both up with enough space they could angle the plow to not plaster them both. Ugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snownuts is the only member that's always been respectful and kind to me. And training is the only person here that if I could take back some of the nasty things that i've said in the past I would. Congratulations fellas. Thank you for that. Life is full of opportunities to grow. I try and learn from mistakes and be better in life because of them. My journey continues (literally and figuratively right now) and I will continue to strive to be a better poster, but more importantly...just a better human being. And in my line of work, that is one thing that stands out to me - our culture today has lost the value of treating others well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 0z GFS is a swing and a miss by a whisker but pieces ar there Considering how bad the GFS has been I how it never shows a hit - even though I’m actively rooting against a storm on Saturday.

The funny thing is, I bet our father's probably made us walk most of the time. Im not sure if you saw my post the other day but I'm not sure that your boss is my neighbor. I need to go out and get things put away tonight then I'm going to take a walk down and check but i'm pretty sure that my neighbor actually owns Lawn Doctor. I see Grand u Lawn all the time when I'm in Medow View and I think I'm confused. His trucks are off the road at the moment, possibly not even there. I try to remember that a lot of these township guys haven't been through the nineties or even 09 for that matter. The township came through once with the plow early today, but they didn't come wrap us up in the Ridge until between 6 and 8pm. The first pass driver went down Tall oak drive twice in the same direction, so all the houses on the left side of the road ended up with twice as much snow in there driveways. It turned out not to be a problem though, my 30 year old steel auger blower chewed right through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NepaJames8602 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Honestly, at around 5 days out, this is a good look. That is one powerhouse being shown. I'm sure some wild solutions are to come on these models. Great trends today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
