Chillin' with the herd
So today i had more coffee than normal..... on the phone with insurance company. We smoked a telephone pole Saturday night. Wife's mom was in front of us and got the left side and we got the right side of pole.
Coffee anyone ?

There's not much control on ice, black ice, first snow hit roads, etc. In a 4x4 truck the only benefit is assistance getting back onto the road. Sand, salt, slow, weight in rear of truck. Abt all you can do.
Used to see all this when on Fire and EMS. We had just as bad a time getting to the scenes, believe me.

Coffee is ready. Easy on those slick roads. Keep the shiny side up.

Sounds like an episode I watched of "Highway Thru He11." Colin and his big, heavy wrecker got called out to get a tanker truck that had slid into a ditch back on the road. He couldn't even get to the truck, because during the time between receiving the call and arriving at the scene, several more trucks slid into each other or into the ditches trying to avoid each other, and were blocking the road. As he pulls up and starts to assess the situation, a firetruck creeps past him and slides into the ditch, too. (He decided the firetruck was most important, so that got pulled out first).
And I thought things got nutsy around here when the roads get icy!
Glad nobody got hurt, hope the repairs don't hurt too much, either.

Coffee is brewed. It's a good day for a hot cup.

Thanks for the coffee, Sour. I think I'll sit in the greenhouse to enjoy it.

I like your greenhouse! Pretty!
I made a lemon chess pie last night. I must confess, DH and I ate half of it, but there is the other half in the kitchen.......hurry before it's gone!
