sw wisc on north south town road top of ridge off to the west you can see airport lights 30 miles away .there is six familys on road and were still waiting . love to call but they have enough to do . but just wondering if anybody besides me is stuck.
jerry apps was on tv talking and telling of waiting for the milkman to come and somebody had to ask why were you waiting for the milkman after all you had your own cows so you had your own milk!
any good stories of milk storage ive heared of tea kettles bathtubs water tanks etc. i wonder if that would pass inspection today .
 
Well,if the milkman can't get to you the inspector can't either. The six months or so that I hauled bulk instead of cans I dumped milk in to the tank from everything from milk cans to copper boilers.
 
After a blizzard in 1966, a friend of mine who milked about 100 cows at the time was clearing out the end of a local county road with his loader tractor so the milk truck could get into the farm, mainly because if he didn't do it, the county sure as hail wasn't gonna clear it out for some time. The new county executive was riding on a plow truck that day to try to show folks what a great leader he was, out at the head of the troops. When he passed Sam, he stopped and congratulated for helping to clear the roads up. Of course, the new Dumocrat bureaucrat didn't really expect Sam, ( a nnalert who campaigned against the guy) to answer him with some very unprintable (Ms. Kim would definately clobber) expletives and bile explaining about the facts of clearing roads and what the county never did. Last time anybody saw that fool in a county plow......

Times and people have changed around here. It's become pretty crowded, too. I was once told if I got caught plowing the state road with a tractor, I could be sued for any accidents that occurred on the road, and I could be jailed for doing public road work. I don't do it anymore. Same thing with mowing the road. Yet, if I am involved in an accident because "they" couldn't do it, then I am not allowed to sue them, or have them jailed. Makes me mad just thinking about it.
 
Konw where you are coming from. Last winter when
the interstate, and the cloverleaf close to home
was drifted in. Was a tandem plow truck slid off
the exit ramp with at least 20 cars behind it. I
came up to the plow end of it and he tilted it
square to me and I put the loader bucket against
it and pushed it back onto the ramp. (I had
chains) There was another coffee shop buddy on his
tractor also. I think they were glad we were
there. Besides how where we to get to the coffee
shop? before daylight! :)
 
Snowplow came through today.
I've been warned not to plow the road too.
Couple of years ago I called them to ask when it would be plowed.
They told me they couldn't plow it because there was a 4x4
pickup stuck in the road. Well DUH!
I explained to them that was my neighbor's truck and if they would
plow one lane down through here I'd go pull his truck out of the way.
They finally did. What a bunch of morons.
 
It's like that in MN. Seems where the problem is guys leaving ridges that people hit or that get packed then damage the state/county plows.

Now on the other hand the state plow budget is about broke. Seems they give MNDOT money based on what they spent last year. If there isn't much snow/blowing and drifting they don't spend much but then next year we get hammered.

Everything here is pretty much clear right now but the plow operators had a 17-18 hour or so day yesterday.
