^^^^ Ain't that the truth! As of 8:00 last night we've been married 48 years, oh and I have never used tire chains.

Good thing! I'm sure she would have left you if you had. There are better ways to hang on to a wife, but you already know that

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
They used to use chains on the school busses around here. Now they just cancel school.
My Dad always used chains. I have not seen them around here in years. |

Chains are still the best for deep snow and ice

Madam Zelda uses chains. Whips too. I call her when I've been a bad boy.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
A big ole snow plow will get you stuck out in the super heavy deep stuff.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
You have to plow with the storm not after it’s done. Four or five years ago we had that massive storm that dumped 3+ ft of snow I plowed at least 5 times during the storm .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yes, that's how you do your own lane. But when the road crews can't plow until a blizzard of 30"+ snow ends a plow man is stranded from his contracts. Will get stuck if he tries to make his way. I used to contract plow and had to travel to my jobs. Even in a tall truck the plow would deter travel. Carrying the plow unmounted would be my best bet, but bed was full of Urea. If it was only one site I had to plow I would have gone in advance and wait it out. I charged a flat price per site per 3-4" of snow. An 8" snow, even on lots I only hit at 8" one time, got billed double. but the idea was hit at every 3-4. Hard to do with multiple sites. Plowing at 8" is double the wirk and double the stress on equipment, I'd often have to argue.
When we had back to back 30"+ snows, 1 day between, I had my driveway cleared, 8' banks on both sides (hand shoveled), and was left waiting another day for the 5'+ on my road to be plowed. When I had my plow, me and the dairy farmer across the road would plow the road ahead of the county so the milk hauler could get in

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Rebuilding a little yard trailer. Mounting new tires on 8” rims by hand is a pain! Got them on the freshly painted wheels along with new bearings. New wood floor and she’s ready to go back to work. I got this little trailer when my father in law passed away two years ago. It was the first thing we ever worked on together when my wife and I were dating - 30 years ago.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Well today
I dug this out of the ground where it has been sitting for 50+ years. This was at a station were RC Cola took over the Coke business. After communicating with friends. I think it will become wall art for me.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Looks to be an old Coca Cola sign It must be aluminum to not be all rusted out after all those years in the ground. Very cool
![]() Today I went to a little local swap meet and got a furniture dolly for 2 bucks. I'm gonna need that when I move. And I got a Craftsman toolbox that is loaded with sockets and wrenches for 50 bucks I thought that I did pretty good. That dang toolbox was heavy. I had my wife carry it. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
It is a Coke a cola sign.
It got put in behind the shop when RC cola took over the sales. Quote:
I was very Surprised it was in the shape it is in. It does have a couple of rust spots. The pole that held it up is Galvanized. It's not rusted either. Glad you were thinking of your wife. Next thing you know you will be buying her a vacuum cleaner ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
It's a "Coca Cola button" sign .
![]() 1947-1960s – The Coca-Cola Red Disc Since 1947, the Red Disc or “button” sign has been used to advertise Coca-Cola. The strong graphic image of the disc shape, became a cornerstone for outdoor signage. In 1948, the discs began to be hung inside a place of business as advertising and decoration.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I'd bet that Coke button is galvanized steel.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I just got back from checking on my cabin. The snow is melting and the roof has shed most of it.
