Oops

"I Hate When This Happens"

Driving out this afternoon in search of milk and bananas, I noticed that a neighbor had a large industrial unit out by the road. Selling it? Using it to plow the driveway?

I don't think having some wheels up in the air -- and others dug into the snow -- is the way these things are supposed to operate.

Ooo, look, it's a Pettibone -- made in the U.P. in Baraga MI.

Nothing like cutting the turn too far and starting to fall off the driveway into the drainage ditch. Oops, indeed.

:o) They were talking about a Snow Plow that went off the road in VA, I think. YOu gotta feel kinda sorry for them....not the use for which it was intended.

I guess it just goes to show that snow plows are not immune to the effect of snow. I suppose we knew that. But man, to have to get hauled out of the ditch...

Embarrassing, huh?
