[Trader Ray]

[danny]

no snow here lol

[89s10]

we were with out power for a week it was snow pluse ice durham looked like a war zone trees power down every where the sky looked the 4th of july with trans blowing

[Trader Ray]

That storm never got here, I am about a hour from Bristol Tennessee and I was in Johnson city that day and it was a mess there, I have not seen snow in about two years so it was nice for a short change, I am sorry to hear of your ordeal though. I lived in Michigan most of my life and I know how the snow can hit, and hit fast. I put a intake on my dads car once and it was a big 73 or so Imperial and I just layed across the engine as I put the dist. in and all the little odds and ends and I kept hearing this odd squeak, It was the hood closing as the weight of the snow was coming down. It had snowed about 6 or 7 inches while I was working and I had not even realized it was coming down that hard.

[danny]

that happened here last jan. it was miserable to say the least.

[89s10]

about 3 years ago we had 24 in of snow talk about a mess

82 left the forums

I can remember a few years ago we had a big strom. I can remember opening the door and seeing eye level of snow. Not fun getting outside that day, shovel was outside

[Trader Ray]

shoot, when I was a kid it was nothing to go make 50, 75 dollars in one day shoveling snow, push cars out, I always had money from the snow storms, I would offer deals to get the jobs because there may be 10 kids on one block shoveling. I have run deals that were worded like " from your car door handle to your back gate, 5 bucks" and then work like heck to het done and beat the kid at the next house..

[fotw]

When I ask my father why I am the only one out there he says, "what do you think I had a son for"

[Trader Ray]

thats right though, just as you are shoveling, he has done his stint as well, and unless you move to florida, your son will shovel for you! lol

[fotw]

We have had a bad winter so far I wosh for more snow. We have had only a few inchs and the day the last 3 days took care of that little bit. I wish there could be some more, haha my mother got him a snow blower for x mas.

[Trader Ray]

The snow blower came after my time in the snow removal buisness so to say. By the time the snow blower came I had "stormngt" shoveling for me..Oh yea, life is gooood!!AND I am sure that My Oldest Grandson is shoveling for stormngt now.

Was they always good to you when you were young at Christmas? If so, you be good to them as they get older and let them enjoy Christmas any way they want. My Mother went all out for us 5 kids for Christmas as we were growing up..

[fotw]

I know, me and my father went down to my grandmother's house ever monday night befor she passed to see if there was anyting that she needed done, form the smallest thing like bring a loaf of bread to fixing something. I will be the same way, my father is 57 so he is not as young as he use to be. And all the work that we are doing on this house it taken years out of his life I am sure. I will be just like him. Going down every night checking in, but just like we did never really letting him know why I am there. He is to prode...

That is good of the two of you and also good that you are eager to be there for your parents as well. That is how it should be.

[fotw]

I am my father's son, I was just raised right

[89s10]

HAY 57 isn't old we just get better with age can still do the same things just takes longer

[Trader Ray]

I will be 44 this Thursday, and it takes me more time to get it done, I just say it is because I think of the task at hand and then do it, and it always gets done better, stronger and last longer because of my experiance. That is what I say anyways..lol

[89s10]

you keep going from 1 s10 to another s10

[fotw]

who?

[89s10]

boy got that turned around had thinking one thing said something eles

[fotw]

lol it happens to me alot

[Trader Ray]

Yes, it just goes to show you that a s 10 is a good truck, little but durable. Mine has over 135,000 miles on it and runs like a new one. It has its moments, but the air and everything else is still working like new..

[89s10]

they all have there moods i like the older modles than the new ones not as complex with all the computers for every thing

[towtrucks]

There are 3 signs of getting old.
The first one has to do with your hair, either turning gray or just loosing it.
The next one has to do with your memory, I think.
And I can't remember what the 3rd one is..........

[Trader Ray]

Mine is a 1984, I think that is the first year for the 4x4 s10 Blazer. I think. And I wanted to tell towtrucks a thing or two, but I forgot what I was going to say, lol

[89s10]

the 3rd one is called (C R S )

[theyoungs97]

Towtrucks,

The main reason I carry a driver's license is to have some way to remind myself of who I am! Assuming, of course, I don't forget to bring it along!

The best to all this holiday!

Mike
