Christmas is coming in...
8 more days
I spent most of the day plowing snow yesterday. Have mentioned that I hate the snow. I had to plow a place for the horses to walk.... they hate the snow too. The snow was too deep for the quad to do a good job. It can only scrape so much from the ground. The blade is only 16" tall, so it can only throw the snow so high. It doesn't take long and there is nowhere to put the new stuff. Finally the tractor dude showed up. He has a big yellow front end loader. Four wheel drive, with chains everywhere. Now, he can push some snow. Here I am on my little quad runner... freezing my a#% off. Here he is in his heated cab. He doesn't even have a jacket on. I had been working for over two hours on one location of the drive-way. He shows up and makes one pass with his monster machine... he is done. See why I hate the snow? It took about 45 minutes to get rid of the berm at he beginning of the drive-way. The county road dudes plow the road.... they leave me a nice big berm to navigate through. We argue every year. I move the berm they put in front of my drive-way into the road. They tell me I can't move "my" snow into their road. I tell them it is not "my" snow. It originally came from their road. It is now on my drive-way... because they put it there. The county road dude just scratches his head when use that line on him. He tells me "Technically you are littering the road-way" What? Littering? Now I am mad. I then tell him to keep his snow...oops..."litter" off my drive-way. I am simply giving him his crap back. I am the only Paramedic in the entire community. You would think he would want me to be able to get out of my drive-way. But NOOOOOOO.... he piles more. I plow an opening.... he plows a berm.... opening... berm... opening... berm... you get the picture. This little routine will go on all winter. Blah blah blah.... "you're littering the road-way" "you're blocking my drive-way" Nobody ever wins. See why I hate the snow?
Have a warm day.
