There's so many ignroant people out there it's getting upsetting.
There's 1 guy at work I'm ready to coalcock. He thinks he knows everything and when you show him he's wrong he says something to make it seem like he still could have been right.
I just have reached my patience limit with such people.
I'm fed up with wusses too. If you're here to do a job and you're being paid do what you're here for or go the heck home.
Thanks for listneing.

  From the weather reports I'll bet this combo has been frequent lately too. I am bumping this picture to mention that this morning when I got home I pushed snow for the 1st time with the new truck. We had 2 other snowfalls but I managed not to plow. In both cases even though we got snow it was navigable. This time it was a little deeper with the threat of more coming so I plowed. It did well. I can't imagine it's going to push better than my other truck did. This was a no contest because the snow was powdery. The real test is going to be when it's wet and heavy and really deep. |

Are you going to do a YouTube video on plowing?

Are you going to do a YouTube video on plowing? I doubt it. It's awful difficult to plow snow and film at the same time. |

My week has pretty well sucked so far.
We got pounded with snow all weekend. Sunday was the worst of the days we were snowed in we got 3 feet or more in some places. Some people couldn't get to work Monday morning and some people are wusses and just looked out the window and called in sick.
That meant my whole shift had to double up.
Ok that means they sent us about 200 miles along to do some repairs and unfreezing work. We got put up in a Hoilday Inn that wasn't bad. 10 pm we're back in our truck and back on the tracks. We doubled again Tuesday. But this time we did get back to our headquarters and we had to test every crossway known.
I get home yesterday about 6pm and crashed. 10pm I'm just about ready to get up and I want to fall back into bed and stay there.
My wife says 'What the heck, Phil? All these other bums called off for 2 days because they didnt' want to face the storm can't you take a day when the storm has pretty welll weathered?'
The thought didnt' seem bad but I decided I'm just not going to stick the rest of the guys on account of just being tired so I headed in. I got home this morning about 730 as usual. I am off tonight though for Christmas so that's a plus.
There was a lot of stuff I was planning on doing this week but the storm had other ideas.
Jason really picked up the rope for me.

It's good that you're dedicated. Your kids will have more than those other people's will. You said on youtube that you get more responsibility and higher pay than some people who have worked there longer.
Doing things like that is why. Going to work and doing the job when nobody really wants to.

Well get enough sleep the worst thing people do is push themselves overboard and thats when they get hurt or get sick from exhaustion and not enough rest.

I watched your new You Tube blog and you sure did get a lot of snow.
Kim is right though don't force yourself to the point that you can make mistakes on account of being overtired.

How did you choose your site name? I explained mine in this video blog. It's kind of stupid but that's how it happened.

My brother has gotten engaged. He's been the last of our family to tie the knot.
My wife and I married in 1996 I was 25 years old at that time. My sister was married at age 21 in late 2003. Her daughter was born before the wedding but she is married to the father and they have 2 more children.
My brother, Alan, is 28 years old and the wedding is planned for the summer of 2010 but the exact date has not yet been finalized.
The engagment was announced last night.

 This is what Sgt Enforcer is in a mythical beast. I took the test. I came up as a Gryphon combination of a tiger and an eagle. Thats a compliment I think. |

You pictured the Hank Williams Jr song.
That's your actual truck isn't it? Are those your guns too?
