Phone's not ringing yet and doesn't seem like it will, the snow tapered off around midnight and it's just coming down lightly now. Maybe 10 inches total and I've yet to hear a good wind gust. I did have to put my old Nissan in redneck four wheel drive to get in my driveway this morning though. lol

Time to do some door knocking ! :laugh:

I thought about going around the neighborhood with my snowblower but I'm too nice of a guy and would probably end up taking care of everybody for free.
















Oh god, I ALMOST got through that post without laughing.
 
missed us.



you know it, I'm looking forward to hitting the bars with him. gonna bring a lunatic climbing buddy of mine.




oh yeah, and get a local lawyer on retainer,too....
:hmm3grin2orange:

Well what I meant about the midwest is that the region out there always gets a large amount of snow each year. This thing we got going happens about once every 8 to 10 years.
 
Me neither,more " the find out where you live and fill your muffler with expanda-foam type".

Do you contract out I got a 16 yr old across the street with one now but its not something I would ever do myself.

I wonder how that would work on those diesel pickups with the stacks that seem to be so popular around here lately??

Well I dont have stacks but I have a diesel.

Anything to do with karma??

I had glass duelies on my 71 Montego 302 when I was young jarhead. A few years ago i have a bunch of neighbor punks with cherry bomb's on their little imports that would park outside my bedroom window....

I have to say it was a Neon. It like a one of those party favours, more noise than anything else. If it was a real V8 muscle car it probably wouldn't bother me as much but still Iam not just sit still if you wake me up with some BS like that either way. There was some renter down the road with this horribly loud Harley... not anymore. I was always aiming for him. That guy was a joke. Thought he was a cool tough harley boy. What a maroon. He would be coming down the street and I would pull out looking the other way.
These kids have to bolt on noise. I say if you want to hear your exhaust system just plumb it through the window of the ####ing car and have done with it. There ya go ass-hole.
I walked out of the house and saw my neighbor ( Bruce) and his kid bolting on one of those shiny air induction systems to his Jetta. I said " Put down those K-mart pliers, get your 400 dollar VW MAF of the ground ( it was sitting in pine needles and dirt) and just put it back together like it was so you have a reliable car to get your ass to school. Poor Bruce, he don't know his ass from a hole in the ground or just how much a MAF is gonna cost him if he tosses it the dirt but he will pay anyway.
The kid was crying about his clutch too. I drive the car, it was fine. He still took it to one of those wheel and deal places and when he got it back the axle fell out on the highway and cracked the trans. They fixed it with silicone. Nice.
Bruce called me one day, he says, " my daughter just drove into some bushes while I was teaching her to drive and now its stuck, she just lost it around a corner".
So I pull the dam car out for the girl, I don't say anything about it. I just extract the car and I am always nice to her. She is a complete ##### ( like her mother) all the time to me. never says HI or smiles at me and now her boyfriend wants to wake me up with the noise maker he bolted on his Neon AND when he comes over in the middle of the day to screw her they let that stupid little cockapoo thing out to crap by my pool. NO WAY!
Screw that ####, its on, its a war. I have won some battles and have lost some but I am still fighting and I will never surrender, ever. Let that SOB blow that stop sign while I am coming down with the plow. It won't be a NEON anymore it will be a NOEN cause I ain't even gonna hit the brakes, just downshift and nail it. Push his ass right onto my property and once he is on my property he is tresspassing so it will just go down hill from there.
So the kid works down at the Shell. He fixes cars. HE put an ad on CL looking for some help, he says " if you speak Spanish that would be great to help our Spanish speaking customers" . So I called down there pretending to be not who I am and said " Oh you mean the illegal aliens?"
Oh #### this ####.

You sure must have to drink a lot of water these days dano. :)
 
Ho....ly... ####... The Dan is on a tear. Tell us how that makes you feel, boss.
 
20 miles south of me got blasted by wet snow. Biggest power outage in cenrtal hudsons 100 + year history. I spent the day clearing drieways and cutting limbs off power lines. I-84 was closed for 6+ hours people were stranded. Crazy stuff..... Mike
 
I have been pushing the plow since 3 am friday morning. One broke, I had to come back and get another one.
5 am in the morning, snow coming down sideways, can't see nothing out there, the road is gone and I am stuck behind an old guy in a Buick headed down for a swim at the Y.
 
I was going to tell you all about all the other neighbors I have flung dog#### at or menaced in other ways but maybe some other time.
Anyway I was at a stop sign, stopped, in the oncoming lane the UPS nut was coming and wants to turn in front of me so I wave him on. He starts to go so I jam into the intersection with the big plow. He was all upset.
The first time I met he I was in my garage when I heard what i thought to be a helicopter landing in my lot. I went out and there is this big brown truck barreling up my drive right at me. He jams on the break, jumps out and runs up to me to hand me some useless BS from Comcast. I swear, all that just for cable TV?
The second time I met him I was driving my kid to school and I see him flying down backwards out of someones driveway. He stops about 4 inches from smashing the crap out of us. He started fumbling to get his seatbelt on while I was reaching for his throat.
I have to say he ain't much worse than the Fedex guy who at least drives like a sane man but everything I get from him is totally destroyed. I mean everything that comes off his truck is dented, broken, cracked, wet, bent or meant for the guy down the street.
I heard the mailman was stuck at my mailbox and teaching my kid how to scream and curse. I asked my wife why she didn't give him a bag of salt, she said he was stuck out there 40 minutes. The mailman has some couth at least... but I guess not today... me neither.
I went to see the doctor this evening. Dr. Rumand Coke.

I got 3 storm damage calls today, in a round abouts way, but didn't do a single one. All by the Hudson river... not worth the agrivation to go. 1 was an old friend who I last saw around New Year's, his neighbor had a tree on the carport... cheap people, and a nightmare to get to, said F that. Friend of mine had a client with a tree across the driveway, but I wasn't about to head down there in that nasty snow for just 1 tree. Guy who works for me had one of his friends call up about a dogwood that broke in front of the house... said we'd go tomorrow morning, but somebody else came and took care of it because I guess a larger tree had snapped across the street.

Helping 1 of my friends today with plowing, we saw a lot of smaller damage... ornamentals got busted up pretty well, and some small trees failed completely, or just got overloaded by the wet snow and lost branches. I'm not about to go driving around with the truck and chipper with the roads being so crappy. If they could wait till tomorrow when things are cleaned up a bit that would be something else.
 
when it snows i plow for the Highway department and we were working 12 hr shifts and a few hours to sleep and go back for some more. we got alot of snow but a little south of us got hammered. There was a plow truck on I-84 pulling a 18 wheeler up a hill and a tree fell on the plow truck. Hummers from the national guard got stuck and they had snowmobiles bringing food and water to people stranded on the roads. They couldnt plow because of all the downed trees and wires.
