The son made a purchase of this old Leeboy road grader.
But then it took a journey to Burgoon Ohio to get it. My brother lives at West Salem Ohio about 65 miles eastwards so it was a mighty nice time.
On the way over, Southwards from Chicago on Tuesday towards evening. A rainstorm, coming down with a vengeance, had to pull over, absolutely could not see anything beyond the windshield and side windows.
That lasted for maybe a half of a minute then it cleared iff good enough to see the road and so onwards.
After getting out of the rain we could see reflection of flashes of light around the truck.
Told the son I think thats lightening.
I posted in another forum a little about the westher. Another member quoted my post then replied about that storm.
Pardon me please for bringing in another forum page, please dont ban me or put me on notice.
His quote:
At the time He posted that He had not heard, there was two deaths in that tornado.
So seems we were either right on the edge of that storm or just seconds or minutes of missing it.
Step grandson in school at Menomonie Wisconsin so stayed there going and returning. Returning got into some snow but not too bad, during the night it had quit and the roads was mostly dry with some wet patches. About 20 miles from home ran into a blizzard, it was coming down hard and fast.
Saturday morning got the grader unloaded and the trailer returned.
Kelly fueled the grader then proceeded to clear snow from his lane, trailer court, slough road and his moms alley way.
With as much snow as we had it usually would take six to eight hours to get all that cleared. I asked, he said a little over an hour.
What a nice muscheeen that is.
