Have to Brag

So yesterday we got snow. School let out early, but not early enough. I drive a bus. 40' cat powered, i hit this hill at least 30 degree incline. On a dry day i hit the bottom at 55 and go down to 15-20 by the top.

Yesterday I get almost to the top were there is a chmabered turn, and meet a truck. Bus ends up sideways. Two jeep cherokees hook to me, and all they can do is pull the front end off the road and really get the bus stuck. Help arrives we leave it.

I go home and get my truck, and hear of anther bus blocking the road near my house. This bus is on fairly flat road, but the rear end is off the road acroos a waist deep ditch. County wanted it off the road.

I hook it to one of my tusks, and said lets try it. and BAM, i pulled it up the hill and acrooss the ditch and right out.

That driver said a farmer had stopped with a brand new on chevy, and didnt do a thing.

So we decide to go try my bus. Scrapped the snow off some of the rode. hooked it to the rear this time. This bus had all rear wheels off the road in the mud, and the left front were off the road. We were in a curve with a pretty good up hill slope.

4 low and off we go BAM pulled it right out. TWO,, I say TWO jeeps could not move it, but one F350 walked right away with it.

I was so proud.
