Back in my homw town when I was a young one, my father contracted snow removal for the town which consisted of about 75 miles and a few roads that were still dirt and a few camp roads that had to be opened in early spring. I found this picture of me helping my father with what I call a dozer plow. If it was a dirt road, we were good to go. I still remember the whereabouts of that photo.

This is my favorite coffee cup. Not sure how I got it, it just showed up to my home about 20 years ago.

Haha!!! My wife and I were at Waffle House just the other night joking about getting a set of eight Waffle House coffee cups to give to someone for Christmas.

A few more winter plow pictures. This was a Walter plow with a blower in the wing tip. The plow truck had a 6 cylinder gas engine for the truck and identical engine in the back for just the blower.
When the snow banks got too high for the conventional snowplows, we would take this plow to drop the banks to a manageble level. It blew the snow about 50’ out and drop them down at least 2-3’ in one pass. These photos were taken in the early 60’s when I was the wing man riding with the old man.

The cylinders in that straight six engine on that blower were 6" diameter. Gas. I remember my father telling me that it was not miles per gallon but rather gallons per mile. 6 gallons per mile and there were two engines. I sure would not want to pay for the gas for that thing now.
