You have great taste in music. I enjoyed watching and listening, thanks for the video.
Thank you
Mmmmmm... I have the felling that this great gathering would not happen in your village if there was no Simon and the Old Yellow Lady! Great job... as usual!
I'd be interested to be at that meeting... me thinks the whole region is gathering to discuss the state of the nation... and - to keen Simon's Lapland a cheerful and happy place!!
Stay safe, free, warm and happy - all of you up there!!
I am sure no-one will be thinking or talking about me at this event AJ, I am just a small tooth in a large cog but happy to have helped. Be well my friend and thank you.
Monster job well done. Only people that do snow removal can comprehend that degree of work. I did snow removal for 25 yrs. at my job through blizzards & all. I understand what you must have gone through.👍👍🍺🍺
Thanks Robert, I have only been doing snow removal for Severn years and only local but that was a task and appreciate you acknowledge that. I am only pleased I started way ahead of time because really was not sure how long it would take and my old girl is strong but slow. Have a great weekend.
That’s a lot of snow, I’m impressed. Watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸🦅 No Snow Just Breeze !
Thanks Kirby
The old girl got a workout. So did the operator. Well done. Take care and God Bless.
Alan
Thank you Alan, be well my friend
Amazing that the old Volvo can keep that pace. Good work.
It can for sure still put the hours in.
That’s one of them jobs that seems to take forever 😬 but always a good feeling when you’ve achieved the goal. Nice work old boy! Thanks for the music.
Hi Brad, I can tell you have been there! Even better when you look out of many windows and see it everyday. Thanks.
That’s what I call a very good job
Thank you
Very Well Done Simon Another Great Job Done That Was A Lot Of Snow Hope You An The Family Are all Well A Happy Take Care From Blue
Thanks, you too!
Thanks.
You're welcome and Thank you.
Thanks Simon, the old iron going to need fluid and filter change after that one. Take care.
Hi Mark, first time in 10 years I have smelled clutch several times over many days.
God job, your machine works good. 1960 was a good year, I know that😂.Hope you dont get any new snow🤠
Thanks 👍 1960's was generally good on so many levels!
Howdy Simon- that’s a lot of snow!!! I wonder how long it take for it all to melt….. I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again, the village is very fortunate to have you be a part of it. Hope you have a great turnout for the event and you get to be a part of it. Have a great weekend my friend. God bless
Hello Paul, we can still have snow piles at the beginning of June so just depends of when winter breaks and how warm it gets. I am pleased to have been able to help make this happen. Take care and thank you.
That was a fun ride Simon thanks for taking me along for the cleanup on being organised like you always are hopefully there isn’t too much snow to move closer to the time. Warmest regards to you all and have a wonderful weekend.❤️🇦🇺🇸🇪
Thank you Anne, I appreciate that. Have a great weekend.
Hi Simon.. nice job👍 Those LM's are sure buildt to last.. nothing like todays machines with all the electronics and gizmo's that fails and brakes down all the time... certainly those buildt further east... My neighbor has had his wheel loader way more in the repair shop than in working condition. Here we have a taste of spring, with warm(ish) temps, sun and dead calm. It's pretty enjoyable if I may say so🙂 Hope you guys are doing great .. stay warm and safe😄
Yes, you cannot beat old iron. We are also having some very nice days but thankfully still below freezing.
Well done my friend. I hope the old girl gets a long break and is able to rest her iron. Nice of you to help the village, just hope that it doesnt wear her out more quickly. She is definitely irreplaceable.
I've been down with my back since midweek. Weather has been good. Had a light rain for about 24 hours Thursday-friday. Around 40° yesterday and supposedly about the same for today then back to 60's this coming week. Snow flurries rolling in here shortly. We have the stupid daylight savings time which we change time spring and fall. Here in a few minutes @ 2am it will then be 3am. We lose an hour. Dumber then a bag of hammers.
Anyway ive taken up to much of your time. I'll send you an email here soon and include some pictures of things here that i think you might enjoy. Pet Kaspers head, tell Sara hello for me and take a break ole boy. God bless my friend! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, sorry about your back I have no doubt it drives you mad. I get so frustrated and little sleep when I suffer so I wish you a speedy recovery. I could tell you to stop doing whatever it was that caused it this time but I well know it can be nothing at all. Take care my friend.
Awesome job Simon that volvo had a workout for sure bare ground here and 55 degrees not for long big snow coming sunday you take care and be safe up there
Thank you Eric, it must feel like summer for you. Thank fully we do not have any snow forecast before the event so I will not have to do that again. Have a great weekend my friend.
Wonderful video that is fine machine ! Volvo builds incredible vehicles ! Cheers
Thank you, much appreciated.
Hi Simon and family hope everything is well ❤😊
Thank you Scott, all good
Simon good job that is a lot of snow to move!
Thank you, yes was pleased to have finished that.
Nice job Simon 👌 keep them videos coming !!
Thank you
Good job Simon. Best of luck.
Thank you
Du är duktig på köra baklastaren 👍🏻
Tack, jag har kört den i många år nu.
Thanks for sharing another great video Simon!
Thank you
That machine is lighting fast !
Yes, much faster than me and a shovel!
Nice job of stacking the piles Simon.
Thanks, although it is hard on the clutch and yes it is the original from when it was new.
🤠👍
Exactly right Simon. Any experienced equipment operator knows that the proper method of plowing with a bucket is to leave the bucket full of material. It acts as a blade to push rather than scoop or fill. It looks like fair weather for your task. And am I correct to assume this job is an opportunity to earn from your services? A welcome task by comparison to others you've done (ex. crawl spaces.)
Hi Matthew, yes this was a paid job. No way could I afford the diesel it cost for a kind gesture this time.
Almost parking in your back yard.. oh my...
Once acery 5 years.. but a fence..?
Snow removal. With loader. At a walmart runs about 150 per hr. And up some 225 per run time . idk. All that snow over time then have to clean it off . its work . see you doing a happy dance . fuel alone is not cheap . ? Loader or back blade for tractor . ya we know sitting in that seat for hours still feel it next morning . arms legs back and ass. Then the neck stiff. Takecare. . $$$$$
Different world, may as well be on Mars. Thanks.
Working the old girl hard Simon?? I hope you are getting compensated?
Are we gonna se you at the event?
No, it was sold out long before I knew about it.
Good job Simon. What is the event?
Thanks Brian, the event is a touring singer.
Does your village not have a local government that take care of public building?
To much government is exactly what is wrong with the world, we do have a small committee and I take care anything they ask.
Gee Simon you must be the youngest guy in the village? I never see young guys clearing snow from roofs etc? You're a community worker
I am indeed the second youngest in the village Dave, feels like community service sometimes. LOL but the fishing is good for a few weeks a year.
Sorry about all the music, I know your not a lover of that.
You could open your place up and charge Parking? Lol
There are no parking charges here Dave, I would do it out of kindness if it was required. Living in a small village as a young man you have to give way more than you take. I am very happy here.
