    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    He or she wanted to go along must have been bored.

    i did jump onto the hood of my Freight Liner years ago There was a large Cat rescue real close to the South Bound Rest Area on I 81 213 Mile Marker.

    Nothing like the scream of a big cat at 0 dark 30 to wake up your genetic memory .

    Today is the calm before the storm for me. Possible winter storm for us on Wednesday. Right now they are calling for 3 to 5 inches of snow but could possibly be more. 3 inches is enough to screw everything up around here because people don't know how to drive in the snow anymore it seems.
    Be safe drivers.

    Depends I guess when and where you grew up .

    Now with the liquid brine and all the salt no one really sees much snow .

    People have enough problem driving period . Then even more clueless drivers every year.

    I thought the drivers were bad in Oregon, and we only dealt with rain out there. Now that I’m in Michigan I’m constantly asking myself what are you going to do next in regards to the idiots around me. I’ve resorted to driving my personal vehicles with the rearview mirror tilted up so I don’t know when the rear ending is going to happen. However; I break early to control the traffic behind me as long as they are paying attention, everything should be fine. Is it a Michigan thing or just a Grand Rapids thing?

    I have learned to find and use the roads less traveled.

    Kinda what it's like here, except on the freeways, the salt is working and it's like driving through a slurpee.

    Should be a better day for driving here, salt has worked its magic in most places.

    Well furling up today and I took my hand off the pump for half a second to scratch my nose and it fell out of the tank. Spayed the side of my truck and fountain up on the ground but I managed to stay dry. I’ll eventually learn I gotta hold it the whole time…

    I've got bungies on my steps and I leave them there just for that reason. We've all done it and will do it again. When we do it we use our favorite words!
