Guess what I pulled out of the snow today?

A UPS truck!!! The big brown truck got rescued by my 3rd gen 4Runner. He was blocking the street to my kids daycare, so I was able to get around and hook him up. The driver said "you can't pull me out with that". I said" maybe not, but lets give it a try" Soon there was a Sheriff watching in almost as much amazement as the UPS guy. Once I got him un-stuck and onto the road he kept spinning his wheels and going nowhere. Back to the strap and I hauled his ass about an 1/8th of a mile out to the main road. He wanted my phone number to give his supervisor, and the sheriff was in shock. As soon as I figure out how to get the pics off my phone I will post them up. BAD ASS folks, all I can say is BAD ASS.
