Y'all have certainly heard how nasty it got in our part of the country
night before last with several inches of snow on top of the ice - several
miles of I-40 was a parking lot for 24 hours or more . Once again I took it
upon myself to get Rusty to work making sure we could get out . Imagine my
surprise , when I got up to the end of the driveway someone else has been
clearing the road ! Turns out my new neighbor has a spankin' new Kubota 4WD
tractor , and he's movin' snow with his front loader . So we teamed up , he
pushes a path then I come along behind him and blade the crud off to the
side . The only stretch that has any ice is where the melt ran across the
road between my drive and the intersection where the Little Dirt Road meets
the Big Dirt Road . There is one patch up on the flat that's not totally
clear , I had some fuel supply problems and had to work on the machine -
probably some ice crystals in the fuel , that gas has been in my can for a
couple of months and a lot of temp cycling .
