I am tired of getting plowed in...I need your help.
The things are perfect for eating thru driveway mounds, and will chuck the snow/ice mix 40 or 50 feet.
They cost about $1300 new.
I did not stay in a holiday inn express; I own a snowplow company. LOL
LMAO!!!
I have lived in Mass and NY (Buffalo) and this has always been the practice.
I hated it when you shoveled out the bank just to have another plow come and do it again.
It's a normal part of life here in the northeast.
"I live in central TX, what is this "snow" of which you speak?"
"It's white flakes of moisture that fall from the sky like rain and if it's cold enough, it piles up on the ground. In the mountains (you Texans will have to Google mountains for an image since nothing in Texas resembles anything close) :-), we strap skinny boards on our feet and slide down the slopes on it which is the most fun you can have with your clothes on."
What do you think we own half of Colorado for! :P
I think patton needs to see this!
What a world of difference a space makes within a word.
Yes, well, if you are going to critique my spelling...nevermind. LOL.
Happens in Lake Tahoe everyday that it snows. The Cal Trans crews couldn't give a rip. In fact it almost seems that if they could they would negotiate the plow so that it would make it as big a berm as possible.
My aunt solved the problem by putting the younger members of the family to work. They didn't have a yard work to do in the winter, so it was snow shoveling instead. My cousin (her son) started his own snow plow business that he just sold.
That might be an option to consider, just hire a snow plow business to keep your driveway clear. They will set up a contract for a flat fee for the snow season. If is barely snows you still pay, if it snows a lot, you are getting your money's worth.
Hahahaha!!! That's hysterical! Brilliant!
I was NOT critiquing your spelling, at all. I just wanted you to see the difference in pictures.
Hilarious, to me. Sorry if you don't see the humor.
ROFLMAO!
It really is a side-splitter. The best humor is based on something pretty close to reality.
I got it, I laughed. I am waiting for snow, here on the east coast. Keeps missing us, and it is killing my finances!
Have you tried writing the new governor? She cares.....
" The irony of it is that I'm paying taxes to have my government plow me "
Refer to The Peter Principle, rising to the level of incompetence. You'll get all the answers you ever wanted and then some.
A snow Augger?
Hmmmmn.
But it's orange. No self-respecting snow-Auggie would ever be painted roange with white trim.
(How much snow does it take to get plowed in College Station anyway?)
Ironically, Robert, I am leaving on a jet plane tomorrow. So it will snow like H$LL this week, in FEWFC.
(Don't tell xsmommy or gabz you're discussin' steroids, or gettin' blown and screwed after a quick grinding screw and a pickup at the curb on the side of her road.)
She'd be embarrassed.
Gab might - nothing could embarass xs.
I know, it is a pain in the butt. My father had a quick remedy, barrel up the driveway in the 1968 Buick Wildcat, usually did the trick. B-) Any other car we had would do the trick, a 1966 Mercury, 1966 Chevy, 1961 Ford Galaxie but the 1972 Bel Air we had didn't do so well in the snow. B-) Failing that, unless you have to get somewere, as another Freeper suggested, get the snow blower out after the plow goes by. In my case, my Ford Explorer plays the same role as the Wildcat. B-) It's supposed to snow here in Pittsburgh tomorrow and I got to go to work. Fun......... Well, I shouldn't complain, it's money but the weather is a pain in the butt. B-P
