Stuck

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

You may have heard me say last night that I’m relinquishing my “Country Girl” title for the time being after getting stuck not once but TWICE in two days this week on my driveway in Corbett in the snow.

My little Chevy 5-speed 4wd truck usually goes anywhere, but for some reason this snow was slicker than usual or something I guess….actually the first time was just plain my fault cuz I wasn’t thinking and didn’t get up enough speed going into the hill, and then by the second night it was just so polished off and slick that I barely made it around the first corner LOL. And then of course once you lock up your brakes on a hill like that you immediately start sliding backwards - into trees and logs and ditches and all manner of assorted things like that. Luckily I didn’t hit anything where it counts - on the sheetmetal - but the last time I did get stuck - literally - in a pile of logs. I had logs behind my tires, in front of them, under the truck, everywhere.

Thank you Dad and John for getting me back out!!  (John as in my good pal Johnny Deere LOL)
