oil continued

Mike from T&S called this morning. He checked out the driveway yesterday in his 4wheel truck and said he would be able to get up in his oil truck but wouldn't be able to turn around. He really didn't want to back down the hill! or back up the hill. It still had ice. I told him I'd check with Rene.
I then called Rene. He said he'd try to get down to clear out the turnaround (top of the hill towards the knoll).
He just now called back to say, there's not ice on the hill but MUD. He got stuck twice: once on the hill and once trying to clear the turnaround. 2 feet of mud he said (?). He made some ruts trying to get out, almost had to call his partner to bring chains, but managed to free himself. He's worried about the oil being out and said he could meet us there to get some diesel fuel in the tanks (Bob and I did that several years ago when the oil couldn't get delivered), but I told him that now that the temp is above freezing we'd just wait a bit for the road to dry out.
I called Mike back to tell him NOT to try to go down in his truck.
We're supposed to get lots of rain/sleet/etc this weekend, so I think we'll just have to wait til later next week.
