    Snowbirds in the background, us air force awac in the foreground at the cold lake airshow 2 years ago. The US military personnel were astounding to chat with. They all had hangovers from our hi-test beer. 20200515_120307.jpg

    Same as drivers. As a driver, you should be able to problem solve on the fly.

    I was reading this news report about some 18 yr old girl that followed her GPS into a lake. She was able to get her windows down and escape and tell her tale. Sooner or later, people are going to start driving off mountains.

    Wifes car is on a rollback coming to shop. I'm guessing wiper transmission. It's raining in Ohio more than one way. :)

    And I was right! She laughed when I said one more issue she is getting a 80's olds 98. F modern junk.

    Plus side it's only about 100 bucks. Guess I should stop complaining.

    5 or 10 years ago. 17 yearold girl walked off a Pier talking on her phone into Lake Erie into 38 degree water temp. She lived. Should she have? Frozen over she would be in a wheel chair today.

    @Flint1 I took a rip around downtown. The riverfront looks like a disaster zone. The day before SHTF I was biking along the river and noticed a nice T800 tridrive dump truck w/tridem pup parked in an empty lot by the skate park. One of the steer tires was flat.

    Drove past it today. The ice was NOT kind to it. Cab was smashed all to hell, 1 stack torn off it, boards on top of the dump box were splintered all to hell. Looks like it ripped the steer axle loose on the driver's side too. Willing to bet the water level was about 8-10 feet above the stacks. Total loss.
