Winter...

The last few winters have been pretty light in the way of snow so scrap was business as usual.
this year is storm after storm and I am way to busy to make any runs but still have a little time for breakdowns and prep. The piles just keep getting bigger and i keep needing to find containers and upgrading to larger storage. When we get a stretch of clear weather I got plenty to run in and now that we have a good snow pack i can finally move large items across the yard with ease.
even now i worked this morning and am taking an hour before i go back out these two day storms are a killer and you gotta get sleep when you can. If someone plows your driveway road whatever there is no better thanks than a hot cup of coffee.
and yeah patriot diesels are rough in -10 with 40 mph winds. We smartened up this year and put tarps over the engines because the snow would blow so hard when you opened the hood the entire compartment would be packed with snow, frozen locks and doors ext ext the bad side of winter.
I pick up cutting edges from plows from a dozen snow removal company's and have found if they are cold you only need to cut half the material and then break the rest.
so the more it snows the more money i make and the more scrap i get the colder it is the easier the steel breaks. I love Winter!!
"snow is a cash crop" john c 4x4 you got that right!!!
