So guys
It doesn't happen to often but what a crazy ride to work this morning . Freezing fog and slick roads slowed me way down this morn. It started rolling in about 7-8 pm last night and at 4:30 am it was pea soup out . Now I usually worry about deer this time of year darting out . This morning I blew right by the Golden Arches I get my cappuccino at every day !!! I had to turn around and I wasn't doing over 35 mph in a 55 zone and as you know that big M is right out by the road too .
Certain spots were black ice and at 7:00 a my wife texted to see if I made it to work ok . She said there was a big crash in the town where I stop for coffee .
I usually enjoy my ride to work with no traffic to speak of but this morning my hands and eyes hurt . But I made it safely !
Now I know this isn't airgun related but after typing I didn't know how to put under the ( I'm just sayin ) section . Hope ya'll don't mind .

Thanks
Kurt

Hey Kurt,
Glad you made it in safely! I have been surprised and spun by black ice more than once. I hate the humidity and knats down here, but I ain't going further north for those very reasons!!! Be safe this winter.
Later,
Jeff

Thanks for the well wishes . This time of year people are just getting back into the snow and ice driving . Every year you hafta retrain your self but this year it's been crazy warm . They're calling for 50+ deg this weekend . The south don't look to bad the older I git . But I still really enjoy the seasons .
Thanks

Thanks

That's the way Matt.

Steady. Keep it between the navigational beacons. Learn from the ones that made it farther.

Stay warm.

You put your post just where it should be, Kurt. Keep doin' that. We enjoy chatting without hunting for it.

Glad you got in safely. I hate ice. Treacherous stuff.

Hey, isn't it the small things that make the day. That morning Cappuccino - my few fresh from China Walmart Oatmeal cookies with coffee.

I'm "feeling" improved in areas. Still yucky though.

Working out some ideas for moving the shops along for better production. "Shoulda started younger" keeps crossing my mind. But, I started working away from home at 15. Hard construction at 16. Was in business at 19. Now 61. Guess the key is choose your heritage, in such a way that you don't have to keep rebuilding and repeating. I said ... No repeating. Repeating.....

Ok. I'll keep checking. Great to see ya all here.

Your never to old to learn . I get way more efficient as the years go by .

Thanks

I'll take hard-packed snow over ice any day. On glare ice even studded snow tires can only help so much, and by the time you get the message you're usually heading for the ditch already. Every winter we get at least a handful of days where the ability to drive at all depends on having real snow tires installed, instead of the so-called "all season" three-season types. Even with all-wheel drive, ABS brakes, stability/traction control or whatever, your ability to control your car is only as good as those four tiny rubber patches that touch the road.

Amen to that!!!
