Is the 'Grounds Keeper' YOU???
Here's how I removed a Row of 5' tall Yews a few years ago to open up my tiny yard...oh, what I get myself into, never ceases to amaze! I am my Father's Daughter! LOL
Me?? Nope we live in a development that has an HOA, I don't cut grass, shovel snow or have to paint the outside of the house. I do have to maintain my shop out behind of the house that we had built a few years ago after getting permission to build it thru an act of congress,

There are CURRENTLY a minimum of 60, IN SERVICE, Vans/Sprinters within a 50 Mi. radius of Toledo.
60
My Sprinter isn't shown there, so you know there's double or triple that number.

Good deed paid off...

I was up very early this morning while my fellow vanners still asleep.. Sitting in J parking lot enjoying the PJ coffee.

A young man in distress approached me. I'm thinking, "Now what?"

"Sir, my car just died on me in the middle of the road, can you give me a jump? He asked.

I quickly assessed the scenerios if I can safely help him. I have to drive against the traffic to get to his car which is blocking the traffic.

It was during the rush hour and everyone is eager to get to work and no one wants to give him the assistance.

To eliminate risk, we carefully and safely pushed his car onto the shoulder and close to the intersection. Surprisingly, other motorists heeded our actions, they slowed down and stopped.

It was about 15 yards that I had to make a left turn against the traffic to get to his car. I made sure the road is cleared and no traffic s are coming. Safely done!

Wait. Now the rush hour traffics are building back up again and I've got to back up my van to the intersection and turn around. With flashers still on, I slowly started backing up.

Double surprises! All traffic stopped to allow us to safely clear the road. Whew!

4 hours later, got a call for a 749 miles run. Good deed indeed:):)
