    They do that because they know if roads are bad enough to need chains to just stay parked. :eek:

    Hmmm….

    Build a warehouse at the edge of the northlands where trucks on wheels would drop off, and bulid track mounted machinery to haul the freight the rest of the way.

    The put tracks on snowblowers now. Stands to reason a road tractor shouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility.

    The blower they use on the passes around okiedokie's is on tracks. It's like the one the trains use. Mouth is about the size of two(2) sheets of plywood.

    I'm awake. And The OM has found me, and said I may as well assume the position right now.

    It's just wrong on every level.

    Nick's has always been pricey, I thought. I like the catfish, but the fried pies are awesome.
