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..
Ok. Sounds good to me. I'd love to pick up the one by Dowling Ford in Cheshire but I'd still like to see the one in Southington before I commit to it. I should be able to make a drive out to the Southington location tomorrow to check it out.

Sounds good to me. I should be good on both. First gas stations I've ever had the opportunity to do but it's just plowing snow. Can't be too terribly awfully difficult. And in case you didn't see I left my name and # in a visitor message for you on your profile.

Aaron I figure even if I only get 1 plowable storm out of each it's enough to get my foot in the door for next year.

Yeah, I have a 1500w heater blowing on me right now. What I don't have is a door on this corner of the basement so much of the heat dissipates quickly. I should really hang a blanket or something over the opening at least. Hey, its up to 54 now

A sheet or you could do a curtain as a door over the opening.
It will make a big difference.

Yeah, I know, I'm lazy like that. I'm usually only down here when I'm working, and when I'm working I don't have time to go looking for blankets (although I can find time to type here ).
