Now a lot of you know that I am not "full time" in the business (yet) and still work in Corp world. I am on travel in Philly, and miss a storm on Monday. I am kinda bummed but the work in Philly is going good. Low, and behold, a storm whips up here. It looks like 4-6". I am getting really figit-ey. I call my buddy KenP, and ask if I can ride with him. About 10:30 pm he picks me up at my hotel and off we go. He's got a Dodge like mine with a Western MVP 8 ft. Now, I have been seeing V plows for years and never had a chance to try one. Ol Ken let me run his truck for 20 min or so. Kinda spooky runnin another guys truck with him sittin next to ya. But... Ken was a good sport and I didn't booger anything. That was great and horrible in one. Great in the fact that I liked the V really well, horrible in that it spoiled me for my straight plow. Oh well. Chuck Smith always said....
I watched Ken wheel thru some incredibly narrow driveways and streets. :burnout He got that big Dodge doing work I would assign to a Jeep or ATV. Kool to watch from the cab. Anyway, we got back to my hotel about 4 am. I had an 8:15 meeting a few blocks away. I guess I can sleep on the plane home this afternoon. Anyway, Ken was a great tour guide. He's a good businessman and makes :cash If you ever get a chance to ride with someone that is a little bit bigger outfit than you take it! It was a good time learning and laughing with another S-C person. Thanks Ken !!!:D

Hey Guys,
I am back home in Colorado as of late Wednesday night. No, we didn't get to Hooters. Geo, Matt and John, I will get back to Philly/ Valley Forge /KoP again sometime over the next year. I will try to warn you guys ahead of time and we can all go out and swap stories. Ken, Thanks again for letting me come play with your truck. :)
