Lucky bastard

Certainly got a bit in the Worcester area. Actually needed 4lo to get through the bank; wheels started spinning in 4hi

 

It wouldn't fit back there for me & I wouldn't want to put a snow caked brush back there. I ended up building a little holder for my brush and shovel so it stays at the back of the bed

 

The one I have breaks down into 3 pieces. I leave the brush in the bed after I clear off the truck, then once its dry i put it back into the cubby.

 

Driving the silverado home made me feel like "man I wish I had a truck" hahaha oops

 

Corrected

 

She was driven last week once! And I stalled once...

 

She was probably like 'WTF, get your shit together here, woman!'

 

No one makes fun of me for stalling more than I do

 

I'm the same way. If I stall while I'm shoving a bank back plowing I'm calling myself a dumbass, moron, etc. and telling myself to learn how to work a clutch. The GF gives me weird looks when she rides with me while I plow.

Edit-And what I say if I break traction or get stuck doesn't bear repeating.

 

I keep my brush under the rear seat in the cab. I don't have the cubbies, just open area under the seats. I have Husky liners so I don't worry about a little bit of water. I beat it against the tire before I throw it in the cab so there's usually not much water left on it.

I gave you a slide for that one due to Honda civics clutch pedals have about as much pressure as a gas pedal

 

i almost put my foot through the floor starting it the day after

 

Mine's coming with small storage bins under the rear seats. I looked at a lot of trucks where there's no such thing. Don't understand where people put jumper cables, trailer hitch, ratchet straps, basic tools, just the general stuff I always have with me.

As it is, I'll have to pare down what I keep in the truck since I lose storage space from the Tacoma.

 

Snow plow truck stuck twice, big JD backhoe pulled it out. Now the snowmobile is stuck halfway down a hill I slid off while prepping to groom. Waiting on the wife to get home then going to take the ranger out to tow it out. What a day so far!! .

Oh, the wife saw 3 town trucks stuck off the side of the road and two peoples person tractors stuck off hills. I had to plow our street out and my dump truck barely could push it at the end. It's rough up in these here hills today!

 

Morning y'all! Working from home again today since about 5 or 6 inches of snow appeared in Somerville overnight. Still snowing too, but lightly.

Apparently the office in Littleton lost power, so I'm glad I stayed home!

 

Go shovel my grand ma's driveway like a good boy! Tell her Greg sent you.

 

Does she live around here?

I also should probably go clear off the truck...

 

Yup, I have spent a lot of time walking around that fair city! She lives on Sargent ave off Broadway. My cousins live all around that area, although most have moved to the suburbs. It has had a funny history since I was a kid, I was like 6 and could walk all over without my parents worrying, but the time I was 14 there were gangs all over, and now it's a hipster revival or something? Haven't been down in a few years though.

 

We had the day off today, I guess there were a bunch down powerlines around town.
