Drive way flat part
Nice little snow drift
Mntngal on our drive way snow drift
And the morons from space (Arizona) Story. So we drive down our hill to an unplowed road 15"deep fine four wheel drive good tires snake around an s curve with a little hill stop cause the guy from space has his 2 wheel street tire little pick up stuck in the middle of the road. We get him out of the road and then he promptly backs right back into his spot in the middle of the road and gets stuck again DEE DEE DEEEEE. We get him out of the road again to get around him go do our errands. Neighbors get him unstuck with their big 4x4 somewhere else not far away offer to drive to town buy him some chains and he can pay em later. NAAA he don't need no stinken help. We come back and hes blockin the road again. We get around him go out to a Christmas party come home talk to the neighbor and el genius T-boned a guy in a fancey low rider chevy who slid into intersection set off his air bag totals the chevy. Neighbor pulls him out of that mess and offers to tow the other "brilliant" guys wrecked low rider to his house guy declines cause his own f-350 4x4 and a friend will do it. What the heck are you driven a low rider around in the snow for if ya got a 4x4 DEE DEE DEEEEE. Yas cants saves fools froms thems selves.
Its the white stuff Bob Its the stuff my poor friend Slowp is fighting the Gal that make the yummy pie.
LOL....I just had to poke you a little about the snow. There isn't any where I live but I'll be working in it soon enough. I'll be starting a job just after New Years where we have to have at least two feet of snow on the ground before we can fall and skid. In the meantime I'm soaking up all the sunshine I can.
You want to arm-rassle me and Gary for the pies?
If I can get out of the driveway, I plan to haul this down to those snow deprived Collyfonians. I'll sell it by some kind of measurement and will be set up on a corner, like they do with oranges up here. Maybe I can sell the whole load for enough to go to Disneyland.

LOL...You might be able to. A couple of years ago one of the local dump-truck outfits brought down three loads of snow from Donner and dumped it at a local grammar school. The kids were mostly from other countries that never see snow and they sure had a blast.
The dump-trucks didn't charge anything...just did it for the fun of watching kids who had never played in the snow.

Well, we are taking Brian's son home to Renton, so we will see if we are the last to get up our hill.
The neighbors have a ford that is parked at the bottom with all the other cars that didn't make it up the hill.
It has been snowing for most of the day and we have a good 18 inches of it or so.
We even shoveled off the roof so it won't get to heavy when it supposedly starts to rain.

The youngest forgot her bag in her Aunt's car and desperately needs her makeup.

I'd charge money because we all know from the ones that come up here in their Caddy SUVs that all Collyfonians are rich.
The Subaru made it UP the road to the gathering yesterday, it was going DOWN the hill that got a little exciting. The Subie wanted to go sideways, I did not so it was me whipping the steering wheel back and forth and uttering some unoriginal language which the Used Dog is unable to tattle about. Not only that, but trees were partially out in the county road, a deer, a dog and a pedestrian had to be dodged. Boy, those non threatening grades sure look steep when they have snow and ice on them. I think snow increases the grade of the hill. Maybe double.

LOL...Yup. On the logging roads you find outslope you never noticed before. It's always great when you get to bare pavement and everything goes where you point it.
Tire Chains anyone? --Ian

I'm currently stuck on the LEVEL part of my driveway with my truck high centered... Tired to bulldoze my way and got pushed up on the heavy wet snow. I have 150 lbs of chains, 100 feet of cables, hitches, snatch blocks, come-alongs etc all buried in a 3 foot thick block of ice in the back of my truck..grrr...
yes.. chains help, but right now we need them on all 4 wheels on 4wd to get around. I have a plow coming today...
In any case, putting chains on means I've failed as a man
