Well I am alive and well, albeit a little tired.We started plowing at 12 noon on Monday and finished everthing by 5 pm on tuesday. All residentials, all commercials every last one. All walks were done as well.
What went wrong this time, not to much.
My chevy as usual was flawless, that truck is the best plow truck I have ever used. Snow fall amounts ranged from 6" in Mystic,to 15" near my house.I tell you, on long driveways the v position is real handy.
We had one truck that was blocked in at an account, tree fell over the road, and he couldnt get by. Went to the town garage, and told them about it, this town has the best of everything, yet sent two guys with hand says to cut it up, I coulnt believe it. Well no sooner was the tree moved, that the truck lost a hydro line. I had and extra one on the truck and had the plow up and running in 10 minutes.
Not more than 1/2 later, sub calls in and he blew a line, so off to rescue him, with the other spare line that I had.
Other than that no breakdowns.
About 1 pm tuesday,got a call from the ford driving sub in my crew, and low and behold, he was stuck. Off I go again and pull him out. The 9' plow full of this wet concrete, pushed the rear of the truck off the driveway. I pull in and around his truck, drop the v plow and cut right through the slop, I love that v. I hook the strap to the ford, and just a little tug and he was out. I am really thinking of lettering "RESCUE" on the side.
Spent the last two days stacking and moving, with one more left to go. Might get some FR tonight.
Well I hope all others had a good storm. My daughter tells me before I leave on monday, " Daddy have a safe snow storm"
She is so sweet.
