misfish Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 HA HA HA. I use to do the moving of the piles of snow at work once they took up to much of the lot. The company would rent a front end loader and I would spend the weekend taking it to the back. Living only 5 minutes from the plant,I would travel over to our nieghbourhood and move all the high snow banks of friends driveways. Guess someone thought I was a city worker and was wondering why I was only doing a few of the houses. I got a visit by a City of Barrie supervisor,he didnt know what to say,except, you do good work.LOL He never told me who called,but most of us knew. There was payment of festives for my effort.

BiggFish Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 What a good story. Glad to see you can hold your composure. I would have likely flipped the grater operator the bird and he would have snowed me in on even more on the way past the second time. As for the newfie that just shows good character right there. If the world had more newfies , i mean good guys, the world would be a better place. Amen, Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
