Pop Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 We finally got some precipitation of the snow variety. Some lake effect crap blew in around noon today. Me and grandson tearin it up at Home Depot and when we get done, it's comin down fair. Barely enough to coat the gound but the first to stick all winter. Greasy slop and it caught the orange truck brigades by surprise. I slapped the harness on the kid and dropped it into 4hi leavin the depot since we had a date with Chuck E Cheese. Got done killin aliens and rackin up skeeball tickets about 1:30 so we headed for the hacienda. 8 friggin pileups between Manchester and my shack, about twenty miles. If you gonna get jiggy with yer wheels first time the sky spits a little ice, might just want to think about a zipcode where farm team driving gets ya a passing grade. No room for mediocre up heah. This here is the show. Lucky for that Volvo that got loose on the uphill and tried to power out of it that when he smacked the rails across from me and pinwheeled back into our lane behind me, lucky he come to a stop ahead of the plumbers van. I saw that plumber stop and get out. I never even tapped the binders and it wuz only on accounta grandson in the buggy that I even bothered checking the rearview. These idiots got one too few or mebbe one too many Y chromosomes. Somebody gonna get hurt out there that deserves help and all the emergency crews either gonna be tied up saving the bacon of these dolts or stuck trying to get around the mess they created. They buy these eurotrash wagons and SUVs. A better use of 75k would be to take the winter off and shuck the paychecks for they own safety as well as the safety of the general population that has a rudimentary understanding of how to keep the grill in the front and the tailpipe in the rear. Boy. I wuz all full of the season last week. I'm better now. Happy New Year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it some sort of viral infection, a mythological creature, or poor grounds-keeping? If you haven't navigated your front wheel drive 4 door midsize home on the freeway, in a foot of snow, and the roads haven't been plowed and salted yet, bumper to bumper sandwiched with an 18 wheeler in front and behind, in a white-out, traffic crawling along at 20 mph, a drive that usually might take 20-30 minutes and in that kinda weather took you 2 hours...then you haven't lived in the NorEast!!!!!

Thats a daily commute in the Great White North, 7 months a year. The rest of the year is just poor snowmobiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you got a trac that will fit on the ass -end of a Chief Chris, me and Crash'll put in a good word with Mama Nature for ya, but in April, it could go either way. There's usually still some white stuff on the ground, and it's cold and rainy that time o' year. Remember, April showers bring May flowers. True dat around here!
