What if it Snows?

You aren't off base at all. More than a few of our team mates have extricated themselves the way you described.

In my case there wasn't anyone around. Not a soul for miles. I made the decision to go for it and pull that trailer off the wooden crane pad. Once that decision was made and executed, then it's my dime if I make the call for the dozer.

 

Don’t raise them too high or LeVey will go buy a few Cats and probably underbid everyone.

 

Ya need ya cut down on the jalapeño’s and chocolate ice cream before bedtime.

 

Can’t believe I did it.
Sent the boss a text this morning..
I’m about to drive into a 10 inch snow forecast. Over the Rockies. With a single axle drive only. On super singles.

His response...
A list of three runs. Right in a row. Can’t waste any time.

I still can’t believe I did it.
I was doing 20 in Vail pass. CDOT pickup following me. Am sure he was watching for any sliding of my trailer tandems. When he left. I got the impression he thought: “He ain’t no fool”. I sure ain’t.
Had vehicles slid off frwy. Fools. I’d tell them: Speed on! The emergency truck ramp is only half full!
Saw a cop blocking east bound. Driving about 35 in center. Slowing traffic to a safe intelligent pace. They were getting tired of hauling vehicles back onto the shoulder.
What a day!

 

10 inches of fresh snow? Sounds like a Fun and Slow day puttering through the mountains.

 

Meanwhile, down here in Mississippi.....

 

I thought I hit a snow flurry in North Texas yesterday, but it was just cotton from a loose bail. Sure glad I got my air conditioning working again.

 

would only worry about that smell from those cattle farms. toxic ! they might as well just build more for all those empty spots to kill my nose

 

That toxic smell of cow #### is what bull haulers say is the smell of money. If you don't like that smell, then never EVER take a 10 in Dodge City.

 

Love that smell... Reminds me of my childhood on the ranch. Any cow man would agree "Smells like my next pay check."
