No pics, b/c I'm still thawing out and I left my phone and camera in the house, but I took the dog out to pee (and I think the pee froze before it hit the ground) and heard a truck spinning tires in the end of our cul-de-sac. Rushed in, blurted out to wife, "time for another rescue!".
Headed to the end of the cul-de-sac, it was a HUGE FULL SIZE SAND TRUCK WITH SNOW PLOW ON FRONT.
He lives down there and was in between jobs and thought he would clear it up a little.
Well, somehow, he just lost momentum and was just spinning and couldn't get moving at all. It sure didn't look like he needed much help just something to keep from slipping backwards while spinning his tires.
After talking to jwhitehorn today, I'm a little gun-shy of that big of a pull on the Jeep. So, I hooked up the winch to him just to give him some steady forward pulling while he tried to spin out of it. AWESOME!!!! Got him right out no problem.
So, my 12th rescue over the last 2 days was a full size Semi-truck with salt/sand and plow on it.
Now he owes me a favor, so when I need something plowed, etc. I know who to call.

I'd have probably done the same thing.
