My son wanted to learn how to plow he is 17 and soon to be 18 anyway he helps me with the lawn care and seal coating during the summer, so i told him that this storm he was to go out in the other truck (we did a little practice run last week). I went out @10:00 PM and told him to come out @ 12:00 AM anyway to make a long story short he told me that he did not think plowing was for him and told me it was actually boring there for the title of my thread (I don't think he's mine), :crying: anyway he does not have a choice now he needs the money and will continue we he is not in school.

PS: I'll check back later to see the responces i have to go and collect and then will be watching the UFC Later.

WHAT. No way it fun job plow snow. I hope someone didn't tell his that him job is lousy that make his lie you I don't like plow snow because want more money. He should be happy since I guess he get 10 per hours or more but my job is almost same your but not snowplow I get 7.50 per hours.

Maybe I need find job that pay 10 dollars instead 7.50 dollars. I need money so I can get snowplow since they cost around 2,000 dollars for my f150 but I want old style with chain lift plow but couldn't find one.

What city you live? I am near to Detroit.

I'm 19. Give me some food and a place to sleep. I'll be there tomorrow. I can't get enough plowing. Have him sit on a tractor with no cab or heat for 16 hours straight and then put him back in the truck. He'll never want to leave that warm truck cab again.:angry:

Trust me my Dad tired of me buy old stuff then fix it he just say bad word and walk to house. I just complete almost 80 projects at our garage or another people's garage.

Most they were need carb clean or change belts or change oil or many stuff that need to be replace.

Interesting....he prefers lawn care and sealcoating over plowing most times its the other way around (well in my case that is,lawncare isn't my cup of tea I prefer operating equipment) have you asked him what about it bores him? Could be he just hasn't caught the white gold bug yet.I'm 24 and hated and I mean HATED shovelling my driveway as a youth

Maybe give him time and see if he comes around?,do you still own your backhoe? if so try him on that if you trust him...maybe your chev's alone isn't want excites him and larger equipment possibly may be his passion,the reasons could be anything.

Hopefully he'll come around for you,good luck

Well he does very well then. Thanks for clearing that up.

Getting up in the middle of the night isn't for everyone. If he doesn't like it it's better for him to tell you now then later.

Dstosh, you keep writing that Milwaukee deaf, I get it. Question is, and don't take this the wrong way, but how is being deaf make hard to spell or write a sentence that can be understood. My computer has spell check, grammar check etc. I just don't understand how you need to hear to be able to write a sentence, please explain.

Have some compassion. We have no idea what it's like to be in his shoes or even how long he's been deaf. I can't imagine not being able to hear, so I'm willing to take some extra time to read his posts. I'm sure with time he'll get better and more confident!

Because, being deaf, he has never heard a sentence spoken to him........He types what he knows from sign language....they include only themost necessary words when signing....many smaller words are left out.........Get it?

 

[John Mac]

You guys misunderstood me. Thank you for clearing that up for me. I wasn't trying to be mean just didn't get it, now I do.
Wouldn't it be nice if some software company made some software to help out people that are deaf.
I have two niece's that are 8 an 10 years old that have been deaf all their lives so I would never be mean intentionally to anyone with a disabilty, but there is a way to make their lives easier than that would be a good thing would it not.

Very intuitive, I wouldn't have understood that either, that makes perfect sense. Thanks for clarifying. I am certainly impressed with his ability to type then!

Wanted to check, how many of you all are Deaf and do snow plow?

just let you guys know that some deaf had hard times get the words in england order right!! even my self too, yeah am deaf from age 5 hearing loss till now. ask my wife how I say things not really in order, I had to think first before saying it, my wife is hearing and takes phone calls for snow removal that's alot help..

there are just about alot that dont read well like reading the news paper, I am lucky that I can read pretty good and read news paper just about every day! hey I cant hear the raido! wish I did.

on other side I have an cocler implant that helps just a little but big time, not very well with the words but with alot sound around me and it did helped me get my CDL license..

most time deaf can feel things going around truck and plowing, I can feel if an wheel bearing is going bad...

yeah if you are really paying him more than what an job at wal mart would be, I would like be out making money off snow removal!! 40 an drive way that takes me 15 mim to cleaner and side walk up to front door of house thats it.

maybe say to go find job at wal mart it would be different than being own boss.

Like I wrote in a early post, my sister has two children that are deaf so I asked her how do they learn to write. She said that reading alot is the best way to learn how to put words together in a sentence and many extra hours at school. Sorry for the hijack but just needed to post what my sister had to expalin to me.
