What if it Snows?

One of the few times guys are whipping things out to see who’s is smaller

 

No.. Juniper Pfitzner. Dug up in bolls, wrapped with burlap[ sacking, wrap pinned with 16 p nails.

See below...
In 1957 I was driving for a bullhauler. Came in from a WI to FL haul and back home to MS. Boss came out and needed a favor. He had a nursery shipping shrubbery north to grocery stores. Some foul up, but needed me to go 20 miles and hook a loaded van trailer and take it to Kroger in Cincinatti, OH.
OK, I go hook, and light out. Pulled in to Kroger about 9:00 AM and circled and backed up close. Guy on dock looks at my bills and says" Yeah, we been needing this". I tell him good, its here. I open doors and back in to hole number 2, and climb up on dock to observe. I'd never seen a load of shrubbery before and have not since.

Shrubbery then was shipped (may still be) like a bush dug up, a round ball of dirt wrapped with burlap, pinned with nails. Rough, sticky, and dirty. Loaded by hand like stacked cordwood across the trailer and alternated top to ball. Real tight stuff to break out.

Moments later a forklift scoots up with a stack of pallets, drops them near me and gone. Next out come the dock guy, drags a pallet from the top of the stack, slams in on the dock and says: Give me ten of the Juniper Pfitzers.. I beg his pardon, what is it he wants? He explains. Its those little sticky ones right there on top at back.

I advised him I drive for a nickel a loaded mile. I don't unload. Ah. Kroger don't unload either. I tell him to mark the bill refused and I will open him some dock space. He will mark it "Driver refiused to unload". That's good with me. He writes, I sign and I stamped the bill in his time clock when he went back in his shack.
Pulled out the gate, lined up right side on curb, walked 10 steps to a phone booth. Called the boss, outlined the situation. He had two questions: Could I stay parked for 15 minutes there and could I hear the phone when he called back.
He called back. Take it to 5th and Grand in Detroit, MI, a street address of a sidewalk shrub vendor. I pulled it there, guy paid for load and hauling in cash and about 10 hands swarmed it and got it off.

 

You did not include the amount incurred for open and closing the doors on Hazuls car each morning and evening (Extra if tains) or has the gas smell finally cleared off?
(I know you hired that in as you lazy retired rascal would not be up in time to get a good days exposure on it.)

 

That would require me to get out of bed earlier.
As far as the gas thing goes, that's honestly kind of a sore subject

 

Black smoke was Probly the tires on fire

 

We have ventured into the Land of the Screecher. She's tolerable today.

It runs, but I never leave home without my cell phone.
