Good morning, low 14 and a high of 23°F. Wind NE 2 mph. 30% chance of flurries.
Off to Powasson to get me another genny, then come back and go to the bank. After the bank is the dump and after the dump is set up the genny and fire it up just to make sure it works. That should tie me up until 2 P.M. then a nap.
The Markham leg of my trip was enlightening to say the least. We got a new dispatcher, yaay! The last one lasted a year, this one comes from a trucking family (mostly powder), so he may be a better fit.
Helogabals, an attitude like that from one of my neighbours would get them zero snow plowing. In fact IF the street was wide enough, I would plow the far side away from the mouthy ones driveway just to be sure I didn't put any snow near him. Let him shovel, that will either work the mouth out of him or depending on how old he is, maybe give him a heart attack. Either way you wont have to listen to him anymore.
Back when I plowed down south, I had so many shovels thrown at me I lost count. A one way and a wing, IF used the way the people that let the contract out wanted you to plow would surely create a huge mountain at the end of your driveway for you to clean out all over again. Yet IF you picked up the speed about 10-15 mph the wing would scatter the snow and there would be no mountain.
I had one old guy he had to be 80 if he was a day that lived on a dead end gravel road, he had just finished blowing his drive way and along I came. Sure I filled in the end of his driveway, turned around at the end of the road, plowed up to his driveway, backed up and cleaned out the windrow I had put there, shoved that all over to the side of the road I was doing and told him that whenever it snowed that much I would clean up the mess I was supposed to leave. He was a nice old guy, he offered me many bottles of wine which I turned down. I told him that if he didn't say anything to the regional goobermint then nobody would be the wiser. I only plowed that route for the one season.
I see that there is a major storm brewing up just below the Aleutian Islands that is coming this way. Gonna swing down and depending on the jet stream we may end up with our first major storm of the season by next weekend. But not near as much as Buffalo got last month. They are only talking a foot or two. A trial by fire/snow for my V plow.
You guys have a safe day
