I like it.

The reason I have the Jeep is doing so makes it so much easier to get around in the Winter.

Get a good snow from time to time but mainly we have to deal with ice. It's a pretty good rodeo around here when the roads ice up, complete with clowns. Back in the 70's I had a one ton 4x4 Ford, I was running pipelines then so it had two winches and a set of gin poles. Pulled a lot of vehicles out of the ditch with that one.
I believe it was 76 or 77 I found a new Mercedes sitting in the bottom of a ditch and a very shook up young lady was driving it. Put her in my truck and with the help of a good chain and the old Ford had her back on the road. She tried to pay me and refused that so she asked for a business card and I gave it to her. About a week later I get a call to meet a gentleman at his house south of town. When I got to the house I knew immediately who I was dealing with, everybody knew who he was. He had the largest ranch in the county and was it's third top oil producer. I ended up building him a saddle barn and two sets of working pens on each end of the ranch. About 10 years later he and I ended up in business together and had it until we sold out after 18 years. Now I work for him taking care of his ranch and it's oil and gas production.
Always stop and help somebody, it can be life changing.
