The real problem is these machines are all run by volunteers. Some of the operators are real equpiment operators for their day jobs, but the majority are just dumbasses that were taught how to drive a skid steer on a Saturday afternoon. They break shit all the time due to ignorance and inexperience. I know because I was one of them.

 

Yeah I never understood the mountain sleds around here. They look awesome though!

When my truck is covered in salt it looks like shit. So what you’re saying is that your white truck looks like shit all the time?!

Once my frame is fixed I'm going to get these two items...

I was doing pretty good last night in the truck. I was driving double trailers 20k and 14k of freight inside (not the weight of the trailers or anything else) and I was getting right around 7MPG.

 

I want to get one of those wands too. I wouldn't have used it last night since I have fluid film on there. My garage bib is still wet so I could have hooked up the pressure washer, I wouldn't put it past me - but it is kinda cold out

Shit that reminds me I get to go home and clear the driveway. Fun stuff. :| at least I have a snow blower, I wonder if that will do good this time around!

 

The snow is light and fluffy (around here) so it should do great

 

I was thinking about the same pressure washer this spring. Didn't know the broom existed.

 

It’s just salt water brine. What do you think is spraying all over truck when you drive down a wet highway that’s been salted?

did you see any of their Tokyo Drift plows? Those things freak me out.

 

I wish I could know how to use my dash cam more better! I got onto the I90 at Love's after gassing up and got on behind one of these things. I was not expecting it to move as quick as it did, those things swing out fast.

 

The plows and salters I came across last night were sometimes going below 25mph

 

Oh it has slow forward progress but when the driver hits the "go" button that thing swings out lickity split!

about 20 seconds in on the vide on this site the driver hits the GO button and yee haw!

 

I didn't see any of those last night. They should have been using them though. It was the worst before and just after Syracuse.

 

Nope, truck is a lovely, clean shade of white year round. It just gets more matte white in the winter time and the wheels start to color match.

I didn't know they had those in Albany, neat.

 

I was up in Canjo right when it started, I saw one of them going from Love's near Albany out toward mass, but that was it.

Hey anyway I saw a post but I've been on time out, you getting your frame done!?

 

Not much worse than my Landcruiser.

 

Extreme excitement, to crushing disappointment

 

What happened? Someone put the box up too high and you can’t reach it?

 

I thought it was grape nuts. But it was disgusting grape nut flakes

 

We didn't end up with much here in CT. I left New Haven around 5 and it was pretty much just wet. As I came north snow got heavier, but we only had about 1" on the ground when I got home. Ended up with about 3" of heavy wet snow this AM. I didn't have time to clear it so I'm hoping it doesn't all freeze solid in the next couple days. Ugh.

On another note, my studded Firestone Winterforce tires are pretty epic. Studs are noisy and you can't drive like an idiot on dry pavement without killing them, but when you need them it's definitely nice to have 'em.
