Plow Stalking

So it’s almost 1:30 am, we are all still sick,  we should have left for South Carolina a day and a half ago and we haven’t started packing yet…so what am I doing? I just came in from a stalking mission. I went out stalking snow plows. Our driveway has been neglected because of us all being sick and the stupid snowblower not working properly so as my neighbor so kindly stated “your driveway is a disaster”. Gee thanks Tony. But sadly he is right, packed ice and snow, ruts and drifts…it is a challenge not to get stuck coming and going on a daily basis. So, I decided that none of us have the energy or time to fix the mess and we needed a plow. Tonight there is a light snow falling so at midnight, I headed out to the best place I could think to find a plow…Tim Hortons!! Sure enough there was one and he was actually working so that was a bonus (many companies here have a rep for taking your money and then never showing up) I stopped him, asked him if he could help me and he gave me his bosses number. I called Dan from Ritchie’s snow removal and 1/2 an hour later he pulled into my driveway. I had finished digging the vehicles out from under the snow and was shovelling the walk and Dan’s assistant jumped out of the truck, told me to put my shovel away and grabbed his own shovel to do the walk and step while the boss did my driveway. BONUS!!  So 10 minutes and $40 later, my driveway is scraped down from the front of the house to the road, and my walkway and the step are done too! (For those of you who don’t know, I have a big driveway, the part they cleared will hold at least 6 or 8 cars) I am a happy camper, and I hope Tony complains about the noise of the plow tomorrow…ppbblltttt! LOL
