Dio prepares to put on another hat,,,,

Day 40gazzilion or so,,,

at least that’s how Buff and I are feeling about this ‘arctic fluff’ shit going down.

Tomorrow, the temps are slotted to be well above the 32 mark; they are supposed to get there today, but right now, whats out there has fully made my hill impassible.

Three tries with Da’s fourwheeler and I finally made it, AFTER letting almost all the air out of the tires,,,

I’m frozen right now. Fingers n toeses don’t seem to be attached by feelz, though I can see them,,, Must be vacationing,,, or under heavy sedation. (good news, they ain’t turnin’ black,,, That would be a bad thing,,,)

BUT, that brings me to the title of this post. I’m sick of this hill beating me down. Its not the whole hill, just that first hundred yards where its steepest, and buried down between high spots so never really gets much sun except right toward dusk. At this time of year, that’s when its weakest. SOLID SHEET OF ICE right now. (and part of me wants to get the tire chains from Unk and go down there and just tear the shit out of that ice, and possibly do damage to Buffalo in the process: thats the only part thats holding me back. No wanna hurt the Buffalo,,,,)

SO, I am gonna talk to bossman this week and see if I can rent or borrow the Skidsteer and Dio puts on his heavy equipment operator cap and tears that hill down to something a little more civil,,, At least ‘level’ that steepness out to something more resembling the upper section. Thats the idea anyways; whether it happens or not depends on other factors,,,,

It’s not like the county gives two hoots,,, they haven’t been out here since our Magistrate ‘Rabbit’ was in office(6 years ago). The new Magistrate talks alot but never does jack shit,,, and talking too the few guys that do come out here (but never do a thing on this drive) they have been told that our section is a private drive and to not touch it in anyway. Three households up here, and they call that ‘private’,,,, Me thinks some one is wanting a palm greased,,, Wouldn’t surprise me as this asshat Magistrate has a reputation for sleaze,, (must be nice to make 20K/yr for absolutely no effort or input,,,,)

Currently, Buff is at the bottom of the hill, again,,, May, maybe not, try again later after temps have come up some more. If not, than I do a relay in the morning with the fourwheeler to get the Buff and do the usuals: J.O.B. and any running I have forgotten about with all the fun and games we have had,,,

Gah,,,, This has been one hella week, and even with fourwheel drive, wasn’t prepared for it. That hill,,, That’s the worst of it. Once off it, fine and dandy, but getting back up it,,, sigh,,,,
