So Thursday we had some intense snow fall, followed by high winds to blow it around. Snow ploughs had been doing a decent job of scraping the roads. My wife had to work, and wasn’t crazy about the 25-30 mile trip. So as she only works 10 till 5 , and I was done morning chores. I offered to drive her to work, and kill my time visiting with my brothers. Wasn’t a bad drive in, but the wind came up with white out conditions, and the snow removal equipment was called off the roads. By the time I came up our side road to home, I was bucking drifts 2-3 feet high. Next day I started the Jeep, and backed out of the garage and found the brakes weren’t working as they should. Wheels were packed full of ice and snow, and it was interfering in the normal operation of the 4 wheel disc brakes. So I spent some time laying under the Jeep chipping the ice and snow from around the brakes, and out of the wheels themselves. Frozen ice in your wheel rims can put your tires out of balance, and cause tremendous vibration. Not something some of you southern boys would ever have to deal with. A thing that only occurs every once and a while here, but you have to keep your guard up in winter in the North. Or end up in the ditch like about a dozen cars and truck I drove by the other night.

His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
