    Was snowing north of Brigham city, maybe a good 6 inches. I-15 south was a slushy mess, plowing had not been done. Passed by a Schulz truck running 70+. A little down the road it seems that driver is in need of a tow and some body work. The concrete wall is not forgiving.

    If it was a matter of simply turning around I would’ve just backed the trailer in there while keeping the drive wheels on the road. I will neither confirm nor deny having to use that maneuver once or twice. :biggrin_25520:

    My experience is gramps doesn’t get left alone with new babies until about 14 to 16 months before that there is always a maternal person within earshot. When you get the privilege of alone time with grandchild it’s because they have entered the nonstop motion phase and the women folk can’t keep up. My advice is when this happens keep the duration to less than two hours because you will feel like you’re running a marathon.

    Looks like some folks I used to see in Bars, Taverns, Saloons, Alleys and other entertainment venues. Course I wasn't likely in much better shape and some Bars seen were from an overnite in a local lockup. :oops::rolleyes:

    That business was heart-felt & very human. I admire and appreciate it. I think you need to keep making videos.
