Nvm... Truck won't start
Note to self. Make sure the vehicle is actually in park when trying to start it...
Make fun of me, I deserve it.

No one is really stuck out here around our house, so I guess no need for the beast to come out...I wish I lived closer to all the stuck cars so that I could help in some way...
This is the view of our street and a picture of the backyard...

Like a damn fool! Hahaha

that's just a result of poor planning a wise man once said.
come on over, I have beer and rum. 
Shoulda brought the trailer down this week so y'all could be workin on it with all your free time!
I ended up being a bus for people stranded this morning. I took a bunch of people to shelters or to get with loved ones. It was very dangerous out there. 92 was one of the worst roads...2 inches of shimmering glass. No amount of skill would help on it, so I drove the median. Insane!
I couldn't even get my 80 out of my inclined driveway today. Locked, low and chains and I still couldn't get out. It was one big sheet of ice.
I just stayed in the garage, worked on pulling the head on my 2F and drank beer.
Tomorrow's commute is not going to be fun with all of the water refreezing tonight.

I appreciate all the concern guys. I did not get home yesterday until 11:30pm. I left work at about 2:00pm. I stopped and helped anyone I could along the way. I towed, pushed, pulled anyone I could. I eventually got to a place where the road was closed in both directions. The only choice was to stay in the car and wait it out (another 12 hrs or so) or walk. It was only about 4 miles so I decided to hoof it. I was wearing all work clothes and dress shoes. I didn't have a hat or gloves or anything. I found a scarf on the side of the road and purchased a hat at CVS (24hrs). Finally made it home, cold, tired, and hungry. Went to bed a little after 12.
Today I wanted to try to help any way I could. I ended up giving rides to people walking and taking people back to recover their vehicles. Facebook probably tells the story best. I joined a number of groups that were designed for people offering help or needing help. I drove an 8 month pregnant girl and her husband as close as I could to the train station because they were going to walk 6 (SIX!!!) miles! I also learned about a young woman who's car ran out of gas and she had walked a couple of miles and gotten a ride to the Home Depot right near our house. I went and picked her up, bought a gas can, got 2 gallons of gas, took her back to her car that was on a very treacherous road and made sure she got on her way. Her kids had been stuck at their daycare overnight.
There are many more details of course that I'm leaving out. I'll share the tales with you guys next time we're around a campfire and the adult beverages are flowing.

I spent most of the day taking citizens home that spent the night in our fire stations. They were all very happy to make it home. I am blessed that my job lets me work with a great team. If you saw a late model crew cab f150 with chains in cobb over the past 36 hours that was me. I was so impressed by the overwhelming team work by all the citizens of cobb, brings out a good family environment for everyone.

Just wanted to say thanks to all those that were out helping others during the crisis. Maybe people will look at us off-roaders a little differently since we were the ones out saving them and retrieving their cars!
Ted if you're going to quote the man at least get it right. "That's just poor planning son"that's just a result of poor planning a wise man once said.
Nice!!! It's only 120 miles from me. I smell some Saturday or Sunday day trips...
