It looks pretty fun though. If it had projected display on the windshield it would be very cool. I saw the GPS cone on top, can you set it and forget it and let it do it's thing?

It does have GPS, but that's a field only thing. Can't use it on roads. And it can't control the plow, or think, or see, or make decisions. It would be a scary ride.

Looking at the cradles the boats are sitting in, I'm surprised a strong wind doesn't blow them over.

I'm surprised they don't! Maybe because there are so many of them packed in together they just buffer each other. The cradles are pretty substantial, but not very wide.

Maybe they are anchored to the ground.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

Bump one with your tractor to see if it moves. :)

They are not.

No thanks. I don't feel like buying a boat.

Had a meeting this morning with the accountant/HR/person-in-the-know at Nissan. That was interesting. Apparently I have not actually been let go, I'm on a 13 week layoff. Major confusion happening right now! This might take awhile to process.

Long story short: the general manager is a jerk and should not be allowed to deal with people without supervision.

Someone probably put a bug in their ear about discrimination. Maybe someone from Ditcher, Quick and Hyde Attorneys at Law contacted them suggesting a discrimination suit against their female client. No thanks needed.

Oh I won't be getting paid, that's for sure. I've already applied for unemployment insurance.

This snowplowing job is just what I needed right now.

I'm thinking it was a roach that fell onto the mattress and the spider story is something he made up. Think about it. You hit a spider with flame, it's toast almost instantly but you drop your now legal recreational roach on your mattress and sit back to enjoy the buzz, you got a fire.
