And So I Add Yet Another Title To My Job Description...
Posted: Jan 2, 2008 11:40 AM

So with a cross between thinking I'll find some hot girl to extract from a mound of snow somewhere or at the very least will look cool to mass woman in the frozen region, I'm going to buy a snow plow for my truck in a couple hours. I figure I'll be able to clear snow from places not imagineable to the average county worker.

So, being as I now have a heavenly truck, 40'' tires with the second most aggressive tread pattern on the market and will soon add a plow, I figure I'll be the king of snow removal. I only need now to learn the finer points of snow plowing, any tips besides to aim away from the parked cars and wayward children?

Hey you,

When you see sparks flying up from the blade, that won't be a continuation of fireworks from the other night.

.......as I'm so kindly called The Stalker.

It's only stalking if somebody objects....

I've been lacking on my forum reading so apparently must catch up.

You have NO idea how funny that is, especially after the conversation I just had with a group of neigbhors who gathered to see my holy snow plow delivered.

I'm thinking a red velvet ''plowing jacket'' [a converted smoking jacket.] with matching sweat pants and a bad Elvis hairstyle to fulfill my newfound duties in.

Avoid finding hidden objects such as fire hydrants or low brick walls. 

Don't plow the neighbors in

don't push snow up against a building

watch out for uneven parkings lots that have drainage holes or man holes sticking up

you might be in trouble if your asking a bunch of booksellers how to plow snow

This thread brought back fond memories of a Simpsons episode.

AAAWWWW, snowplow.

Keep that plow far, far away from the mailboxes. Out here in the frozen tundra snowplows seem to have an affinity for those posts.

Hey there bubba? Do you make housecalls?  We have some snow here that needs plowing....I could pay you in books that haven't sold!

This is as easy as I thought! My first expedition went off flawlessly and I'm happy to report there were no mangling of cars or swift removal of a single mailbox. I always wondered what it was that I wanted to be when I grew up and now I know...A snow plowman [I'm thinking that's the correct terminology but may modify it upon future research.] I can just hang in a heated truck, cruise around listening to good music, talking on the phone and playing on the computer and get paid for it.

It's been a long time a comin' but I finally found my niche!

I need to work on mileage before extending my fine services into the great unknown...As it stands now I get about 6 miles per gallon and would estimate about 3 per gallon while a' plowin'.

I'm in the process of enlarging my fleet and may try to convert a Honda Civic into a snow plow, one of those transformations like you see on Monster Garage.
