Fantastic video Ken. I had the same issues as Dave. No matter though. Daddy's Girl is one very impressive machine, and I appreciate the chance to come along for the ride.

Sorry guys , guess it got corrupted. 
Snow plowing video Take 2.

Last couple shaves.

Didn’t get it with the plow. The snow coming off the plow hit it and it broke loose from the base. It happens. This was a wet heavy snow. And even going slower than normal some of the boxes aren’t too sturdy.

This happened to me a few years ago. That message sounded like the guy was very angry. Sheesh! This stuff happens. It's the price we pay for living in a snow zone.

Where I live, in Upstate NY, it's apparently common enough that they have a 'plan' in place... you just call th Village and they'll pop a new (cheapo) one on. They must keep a stock of them. Of course, I have never had a fancy mailbox. If I'm spending money on my house it's something inside that my family can enjoy. Don't get me wrong, my postman is a nice guy, but I'm not dressing up my mailbox for him. Lol.

Well Doug. You have the disposition of most "normal humans". It's the vocal minority that everyone knows about. Because the squeaky, bitchy, cry baby wheels get the grease. 
I have an old school approach to these type of people. I do not cater to whiners and reward bad behavior. No one person is more or less important on my route. 
I rotate the neighborhoods around so that no neighborhood is either always first or always last to be plowed. I have 9 neighborhoods i am responsible for and the connecting miles of road to them. 
Not sure how many homes are on  my route.  Honest guess 900-1000. I know I got 3 mailbox's. Not bad.
Years ago when I first started this job. Myself and another guy were the ones that replaced damaged mailbox's in our district. We made up and stockpiled posts and had either black or silver cheapo box's. About 15 years ago the county changed it up and now just cuts a check for it. Not sure how much. I'll have to check. A long time ago, I knocked over a brick mailbox. Actually didn't hit it that hard. It tipped over at slow motion. Almost thought it would come back to where it belonged. But it went past the tipping point and into the driveway. Shattering like a glass vase. That was fun.

Well folks duty calls. Daddys girl and I will be back out on patrol at 04:00 Sunday morning. Early warning radar shows that mother nature is preparing offensive on the mid Atlantic region once again. All crews and vehicles will muster on the Field of Mars. Get loaded with salt. And head out into our AO’s. It will be a snowy super bowl Sunday.

Be safe, supposed to be done here by noon Sunday. Monday partly sunny and 52. Then the week is downhill again......

Lemme double down on what Dave said. I haven’t checked the bookies, but it’s a sure bet that Mahomes and Brady got nothin on fluffy to Daddy’ Girl for the win! 

Stay safe. Be well. Show no mercy to leaning mailboxes.
