AMC RULES 37,211 #10 Posted December 15, 2013 My first half century mark today, so...thanks for the well wishes guys, Don(verosd)is right...I had the graveyard shift plowing at the Academy last night(happy birthday, huh?)...started the shift in an 8 ton Chevy dump truck, which is outfitted with sander and plow. The plow's pump decided to seize up half way through the snowfall portion of the storm...of course maintenance doesn't have a replacement pump on hand. So, I had to swap for another truck...by the time I got back on the road, the storm had turned over to a sleet, and freezing rain event on top of our initial six inches of snow. Always fun(NOT!), running double time, tryin' to play catch up on your route, in and unfamiliar truck. Then, the fun really begins when your shift ends, and you come home to a driveway full of the same...yep, there's the big SIGH! Not this time though...Mrs Rules surprised me with all the outdoor Christmas lights on, as I'm coming down our street, I see she's out blowing snow out of the drive, with her new Toro electric power shovel I got her...such the heavenly sight to behold. You know...there's just something about coming home to a clean driveway after you've been out plowing all night...trust me, that alone is a wonderful birthday present in itself. Makes me want to bust out in my happy dance, just thinkin' about it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,189 #16 Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Happy Birthday Craig! I used to work the snow crew at the Danbury Fair Mall running a Trojan loader with a 22 ft blade on it. I also was the sucker that had to fix everything that everyone else broke. NOT FUN during a storm! I know what ya mean when ya have to work a double shift and come home to a driveway that needs to be cleared. It is the last thing you feel like doing. One time I came home after a 20 inch snow fall to find my driveway cleared, or at least I thought it was! My neighbor (who no longer lives here, and was about as smart as a box of rocks) decided to plow my driveway for me, he piled it all in front of my garage and it was now all frozen! Too say I wasn't happy was an understatement, a little revenge was in the air.... Edited December 17, 2013 by Ken B 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
