[Don EMS]

Its been a slow year up here for plowing. We got out earlier in the year for an 2" event and then a couple of weaks ago for an 8" event. That 8" was one of the worst days in a long time.

2am, I got the bobcat behind the F250, about 6" on the roads so it takes me about 1hr to get to the first site. Just as I pull into the houseing development ( 60 driveways and 12 townhouse fingers ) the tranny goes on the truck.
I leave my help with the truck and go at it with the skid with 30 mph winds, blowing snow, 15' visibility. 1/2 hour into it I get sick, pop a few motion sickness pills, good to go. 2 hours later the plow breaks on our F350. ( took 1 hour to fix ) 15 hrs later, development done, 12 jiffy lubes done, 4 town house assocations done, local airline maint. hanger done and the ethanol plant done. Some times it make you think " is the money really worth it " OOOOOOOOOOOOO YA. It would be nice to have a few more storm's before the winter is over. Now that the bugs are worked out.
