It was the Blizzard of '96. Douglas and Nick came up to the garage to clear the snow. Of course he brought the Bobcat! Nick with a bad knee, hobbled around in ~3' of snow. Douglas asked me to keep Nick inside the building(that did not work too well).
After clearing the snow, Douglas with a smile and excitement, said, 'Let's go, we'll pull some cars out of ditches!'. I pretended to be excited, but was really scared. We grabbed some chains and headed up the Mileground, pulled out a couple cars and a truck. My fear was gone! Then he said 'We need to head up to John Cross's place to clear his driveway'. I had no fear now, after all Douglas was with me. We cleared the driveway using the truck(first ramming the snow, which did not work) and bobcat. When done we towed the bobcat back to the house, on ice covered roads. Said our prayers all the way back.
I knew then, as long as Douglas was at my side, we could do anything!
Sometimes, however we chose to 'goof off'.
