Some Days Are Better Than Others

A lot of activities down here were canceled yesterday because of the new snow, and Andy had to put chains on the front wheels of the Jeep in order to drive up there.

He replaced the windshield wiper on the truck — notice the step ladder in the second picture!

Then he plowed for a couple of hours. Unfortunately when he was taking a second pass on our driveway, he hit a soft spot in the road:

It threw the truck to the right and into a ditch:

I offered to go with him today to help dig, but he says he’ll have to see how bad it is and what it will take to get it out.

Some days are better than others. Wish him luck!

    I wish him all the luck he can get. He is a more adventurous fellow than I am for sure.

    I wish him luck, Jean. I wish both of you luck. A commodity not always easy to come by.

    If (and when) I can get my scanner to work I’ll dedicate a post and photo to you and my love for snow.

    Greetings from the ditch in winter,

    U

    Ugh. Having done that myself I am somewhat sympathetic. I will reserve the rest of my comments for later ????. I hope he gets it out okay; that is starting to be quite a bit of snow.

      As you know, I’m more than sympathetic to anyone who has problems driving in snow. I appreciate them doing the driving!

    I wanted to see how Andy is dealing with all this snow. It’s entertaining for me, & entertaining for him too maybe.

    Andy has such wonderful memories and you Jean post them for us who never have that kind of “layered snow” to see what it is truly like. If it was me, I would stay home but then again if it was the “norm” maybe I would just get on with living and do it…

    Sometimes I think that men get a kick out of those kind of situations even when they hold them back a few days…go Andy, go Jean 🙂 and thanks…

      I’m with you about staying down here where life is easier. I do not enjoy having to put chains on tires, etc. He does seem to enjoy the challenge, and that’s all I care about. I love seeing him happy and energized.
