If they can't diagnose or fix it i'll prolly just drive the thing til it blows and then deal with the consequences later.
If you need someone to come up there with a plow truck I've got a truck available for hire. 2006 F350 9 foot Fisher plow no spreader though.

I just bought a Honda EG6500CL generator to keep in stock (who's kidding who, I'm gonna use that sucker if I need to), so if anyone wants one, my supplier as of now, has 4 more.

I also have a Generac 8000 watt portable with electric start available for 1799.95 plus tax. This also has a wheel and handle kit, where the Honda does not. The Honda wheel and handle kit are available, but sadly, none in stock.

good to know rocket, want a Mobil gas station in Cheshire ? they just called me and asked me to do em, pays 80 bucks cash when completed each time you go through. it's next to the ford dealer on rt 10. to far for me to go. I was helpin a buddy out at staples plaza he had blown his tranny and just got it back this afternoon I think he's all set now but he's plowing for the state in his triaxle so I haven't talked to him about tomorrow yet. The gas stations aint bad money I do 7 of em, trick is to back blade over the fill caps cause otherwise you'll be catching the tops and losing them.

Evening guys.
My mom came home tonight and is doing and feeling good.
I only got about an inch and a half.
It will be interesting tomorrow.
If the weather is bad I am going to put the new Y-pipe in my truck.

Great news about Mom, Andy.

I don't think it is going to be horrible weather, but time will tell.

Thanks Brendon.
It is going to be the kind of weather that a degree or two can make all the difference.

I'm thinking yes to the Mobil on Rt 10. Any details on trigger amounts and sand/salt application?

I don't sand , they never want more than 3 inches on the lot, I usually got through when theres 2-3, just verified payment with the owner and he said that he pays 2 days after you plow, just leave a bill and pop back in 2 days and there's cash in an envelope . Aslo asked me to do a mobile in southington on west street and another on east main st in meriden. I do a small plaza on east main about a block away so that 1's cake for me but how do you feel about southington and cheshire both ? rt 10 makes it convenient. southington pays 100

Got an address for the Southington location? I'm familiar with the Cheshire one but not Southington. Not sure how long a ride it'd be for me to get to that Mobil plus I'd like to see it before I commit to doing it.

956 West Street
Southington, CT 06489

It shouldn't take more then 20 minutes in ****ty conditions to drive there. i average a station in about 25-45 minutes depending how many idiots are in my way but never takes more than 45 minutes. and those busier stores are the 1's i get 100 for. Theres no shoveling or sanding involved at all. pretty straight forward..
