What a difference a year makes ....

Yes, it's cold outside.  But it isn't too bad

And keep in mind what it was like a year ago


January 29, 2009 about 3:30 PM.  Customer called, he HAD to have gas TODAY.  His tank was dry, his furnace wouldn't light, everything was going to freeze.  I drove close to 30 miles to get to his narrow uncleared driveway.  Started up the hill and the truck slid off as I was crossing the culvert.  Rather than slide it all the way to the bottom I called for a winch.  Art tied on to the truck, pulled it back on the drive ... and it slowly slid off the other side.  Notice the cable to the top of the tank in the second photo?  Art was a bit concerned, just because the outside tire was clear off the ground.

While we were waiting for the wrecker to come pull the truck out I walked up the hill to find 30% in the tank.  Customer went in the house and reset the furnace and it lit up.

Weather outside today is chilly, but a lot better than a year ago.
