He didn’t block any traffic, he was trying to make it up and over without chains. So he was trying to throw iron with his tractor nosed into the snow bank. You should’ve of seen him, jumping up and down, waving his arms and yelling at me as I drove by fully chained. My thought was obviously you know more than I do, so reach into your brain and figure out how to get yourself going again. Just cause the sunshine is out doesn’t mean the 7 inches of snow from the night before isn’t going to magically go away. With snowpack under the fresh snow. I drove for OD. Just turned my stuff in and I am enjoying the easy life. I had 18 years there.Nicely played! You can't fix stupid..... The fine for blocking a highway by running chain control in Oregon can exceed $2000.00. And then there is the cost of reupholstering the seat cushion... Going uphill it is simply the smell, going downhill it is fixing the chunks that you pull out of it as you start your slalom run...It's a long way from US 97 to Oakridge. Kinda reminds me of the song "The Wreck of ol' 97." I am impressed you took that bid. I smoked a lot of brakes on that pass back in the 70's before we got engine brakes. Who did you work for?
