But I will say I am a complete mother ****er when it comes to how I want **** done ! Can't do it .... **** off I got a phone full of guys who don't work there day jobs when it's snowing ! I was lucky this year I got a badass redneck who can plow like me fast and clean and a buddy who babies my **** because he doesn't like it when I freak . A young guy for shoveling out dumpsters and handicaps and then me ...... Well let's just say this ain't my first rodeo !
 
Well, I am going to make sure it does not snow here for the next few years. It is simple and easy to do, just buy new blades.

This is now officially the snowiest (sp?) winter on record for us. So, of course every body and there brother is going to go out and get blades, then go out and underbid everyone to get a account and then.......... it wont snow. I am fortunate in the fact that I already have a couple big commercial accounts and have been basically allowing others to do it.....for now (some besties are the owners and want me back) I will be OK if I buy blades and don't use them for a while, I would just like to be able to do the work I have! There is no way I will finish all my oak prunes this year. Yesterday, I went out and checked conditions at a couple jobs, forgot about a ditch in a back yard and I was just about swallowed whole. We get slammed with a random 8-12"snow fall Sunday, then it hits 50 yesterday. Freakin mess out there.

Wife gets let out of ICU, we get home, she starts going backwards real fast. Make her go back (she hates being there) they admit her right away. Doc says maybe a week and she will be clear. I Thank Obamacare for her illness, when we went to Cali, I had good insurance that I bought myself, thru USAA. Then got on Daveys policy, as it was even better. When I left, Blue Cross said I could keep it if I wanted to, just had to fill out a couple forms. Cool, so we did. Then, law takes affect and they tell me that the policy I have is illegal now so they drop me and since I am no longer a Davey employee, they cannot offer me another one in that pool. We went back to USAA and they also said the policy I had was no longer available and just to cover my wife and my youngest son was going to be 600+ with a 10,000 deductible. I made to much money. LMFAO! W T F! So we go without. Wife gets sick and I want her to go in, she refuses as she hates to spend the money, so,day by day, she gets worse, and here we are now. Of course the hospital wants paid and I am sure we are in the 25-30g range now. They come get our info, tell us to let them see what they can do and because I am self employed and I am 100% covered by VA, they cant count my income, so they go only off hers and she qualifies for the subsidies?
 
For me at my wifes work my insurance would be 500 a month. I went and got my own with blue cross and its 175. a month and seems to be pretty good.

Never mind the blades. Al Gore basically says your entire fleet of snow plows and snow removal equipment will be of no use soon. Global warming is coming!! Where have you been!!??
 
Obama care Is a joke just like him! We need to inpeach his ass.

Sadly, you cannot impeach a president for signing what congress passed. We all need to impeach our non-representatives. Of course, I'd support impeaching Ol' -bama for not enforcing our border laws.

Oops. too political, we'll have to go elsewhere for this conversation.
 
Politicians are the same the world over, both those in power and those in opposition. Anyone wanting to be a politician should be shot on principle

I hope your wife is OK Beans.

I was thinking the roads were covered in snow and ice when 2trees' truck got knifed.

Boy what a mess this winter is. I'm tired! I hope it doesn't snow anymore. I guess I will have to drag the chipper out soon. A few of my clients had to evacuate their houses so I was going around shutting off water, draining pipes, salting roofs - I managed to fall off one though it was low and the snow broke my fall.

I am pretty tired stiff and sore but happy to be able to be here for my clients and any other poor bastard that has managed to find his self stuck along the road in the middle of the night.

Lots of great stories came out of this one.
 
Actually sat down and worked out my Spring schedule. The snow really screwed the pooch on some contracts but I have March and April sold provided there is no more in-climate weather.
Your not the only one in that boat ! I think most of is are gonna have a lot of juggling to do . I am thankful for the snow work since many winters have been much harder ..... With that being said this would have been the first winter for me that I could have worked almost everyday doing contract tree work . Now I am gonna be buried in stress trying to figure out how to peacefully keep everyone peaceful
 
Things looking up here. Raining right now and 52 degrees at 7 pm. Snow and ice is almost all melted and it's going to be in the upper 40's tommorow. Three quick jobs to do and then Sunday is all mine!!
