Anticipating the onslaught of a record snow storm, we rented a covered slip in a nearby marina. We now will have electricity to heat the boat without having to run the generator like we did for about two weeks. We will also have a place for Scott to complete his work.
In preparation for the big storm maintence work had to be done on our backhoe/loader. Scott Hyland dropped by to figure out a charging problem that Bob Harris, So-Deep's Shop Superintendent couldn't determine over the telephone. All fellow So-Deeper's may feel free to torment Bob about his inability.
When the storm came this was my view from my helm station, thanks to Scott. But... the snow kept falling!
So we called upon the heavier machine.
However, on the first attempt, getting the Caterpiller D3 out of the barn while the snow was so high caused a small problem with the barn roof. Thanks to Mr. Bret Ringold we cleared the snow and carefully squeezed out from under the roof.
As Jackie Gleason use to say..... AAAnd away we go!
