John Deere & Elmer..? more snow??

I finally made my last John Deere delivery this morning in Marysville Kansas at 8am. When i woke up I thought I was in the middle of winter season all over again, snow-rain-temperatures in the mid 20's, no I was not dreaming. I seen snow plows working the roads so I set out to Kansas. I checked in, seen several people working by the recieving area then I saw him-Elmer(not his real name but he looked like him), this elderly gentleman, bless his soul, he looked outside, saw my truck, he knew I had a delivery to make, looked at the snow, looked back at me, and then it hit me, he looked outside again to his left, he had left his big forklift outside overnight in the cold,wet snow. It was covered from top to bottom with white stuff. He proceeded outside with an airline and a blow gun to blow off the snow. (now a picture of this should had been great at this point...I did not see it then). With all the younger people in ths place not one person came out to help. I jumped in and helped him(more for my benefit than his I guess..so I could roll along). He appreciated my help till the end. We need more people like him out there. In the meantime the qualcom beeped off with my next work assignment, p/u a load from Del Monte plant in Topeka Kansas and deliver to Wal-mart in Plainview Texas. Deadhead for 97 miles to p/u and 576 loaded, delivers on 4/4. The day turned out better as it went along. The sun came up, the roads cleared up and it made for a nice afternoon of driving. Staying in Salina Kansas tonight at Bosselmans Pilot truck stop. Got 494 miles left till delivery and will make it there sometime in the afternoon. till then......Darrell
