Thanks, Bud. Not looking for a pat on the back...... just saying I'm really tired of winter too. It's been too busy.
Tonight (hopefully) will be the first night I'll be "home" in the past week. (I should have taken a nap.)

BTW - In my 18 years of doing this, we've used chains once. The guys tend to drive too fast with them on and when they come loose, they tear the air lines, marker lights and fenders off of the trucks. The one time we DID use them was when we were called in too late - after the ice has already accumulated on the road. We're usually ready before the storm starts and get the halite on the pavement as soon as the freezing rain starts.
