Winter in Montana means that it’s time for snow removal. This year has been fairly easy compared to other Montanna Winters.
It wasn’t until, recently when most of the state began to get covered in the white stuff. Early snow is often heavy and wet. A power blower, or strong arms, are needed to move, and throw it away from roadways, sidewalks, and driveways. The recent snow has been more powdery, and easier to shove, or blow out of the way.
During the last snow, my Son in Law, Dylan and family came over to help. I turned over the control of the tractor blower to Dylan. The rest of us cleaned up the edges with shovels.
The next day we had more snow, and I needed to get out the Power Blower again. Before using it I always give it a quick look over to make sure everything is safe. To my surprise, I discovered a leopard spotted bra and panty outfit in the snow blower blades! It was still intact but wrapped snuggly in the auger.
So, my next question is who did this sexy outfit belong to and how did it end up in my snowblower?
We have all heard stories about friends and neighbors having snowblower adventures. My buddy Bruce sucked up his wife’s cell phone this Fall. She had dropped it into the snow without knowing. Bruce drove up and blew it into the snowbank. Later, Paula tried calling her phone. The ringing was muffled and under the driveway snow. It was cracked and ruined but still rang.
Other people have snow blown firewood, huge rocks, balls, toys, frozen animal feces, solar lights, shoes, gloves, and sadly a dog or two. Snow blowers are powerful machines and need careful handling. Pay attention to where you are clearing the snow. Wear gloves and eye protection. A traction tread pair of boots is also helpful. My neighbor Meatstick posts sticks with flagging along the edges of his sidewalks for accurate augering.
I asked Dylan if he remembered seeing any underwear or a half-naked woman get sucked into the snow machine. My daughter said she did not wear that style of clothing. I refused to ask her any more questions. Dads don’t need too many details about that stuff and their daughters. Yes or no is enough information.
We do not know where the leopard underwear came from. It did not ruin the snow machine. We can speculate that it may have been lost from a trash can on trash day and then snowed over that night. Maybe someone living in their car tossed it out the window. Perhaps someone was shoveling snow in their sexy underwear and became too hot, so they removed it.
I have yet to check with my neighbors and may not. Some things you don’t need to see or know.
Keep a Breast of being safe and warm when Blowing Snow.
