[QUOTE="WalnutCrest, post: 1313901, member: 21715"] When I was a kid, we moved from town to the country. The first winter we were out there, we had an awful blizzard (2' + in about 18hrs). The morning after the snow fell, my dad walked through all the snow, carrying a tool box over to the dairy farm to see if he needed any help. Well, he ended up staying over there all day and ended up helping the dairy farmer across the street save his entire herd (the drifts well over 10' tall (don't remember how tall, just remember they were over the top of our van by a very long way and the roads had to be cleared by a front end loader). My dad had no idea what he was doing as he'd never really been around cattle before, but he was alternating between busting hay bales from the back of a hay trailer, welding and who knows what. All it took was one day of exhausting work to get the dairy back going again... Dad said that for a week after that day, he couldn't make a fist; he always said it was the most tired he'd said he'd been since basic training. Man ... I miss my dad. [/QUOTE]
