I think we've got the only one in the south who does. Fairly certain she (you heard me) could hold her own with any of the guys working in New England. Get down the driveway and out of the cove and start thinking the roads aren't bad at all, then when you hit the county line the roads go all to hell. Eta: This storm was some heavy, nasty, stuff here. Had to actually do some shoveling and put the chains on the Yaris to get back up the drive.
One of the big issues down here is the penalty for failure. In the north, it's rare that you have a drop right next to the road without some sort of rail or at least a line of saplings. Here, every mile you travel there seems to be a drop into a creek or field, not more than a foot past the fog line, that would turn a typical excursion in to the ditch in to a deadly roll-over. Guardrails, runout, etc. are nearly nonexistent. Took some getting used to when we moved down here.
They know everyone will be cross with them if they don't leave enough so folks can call out of work Monday.
Good here! Got all the needed supplies. Generator ready to keep the stove fan on also. We won’t be cold that’s for sure.
dingbat I've got zero issues with women that can do a great job! The best heavy equipment operator I know is a female. Her dad Ran heavy equipment and her mom died of cancer when she was young. She spent Summers from the time she was 5 in her dad's lap, running the equipment. My daughter at 13 has been running my Kubota since her legs were long enough to reach the pedals. My niece, worked as a diesel mechanic for 3 years. She knew more than most of the boys, cuz her dad was a farmer, she's been fixing tractors with her dad In short, daddy's Lil girls grow into some talented women!
