She looks in great shape.
Be safe driving.
I went to Cape Breton to the camp yesterday. To fix the tarp garage. Damn zipper broke on one side.
Should be good for the winter. Haha
They had no snow Sunday but of course it started snowing snow squalls from Sunday night.
Had a good trip with my RCMP cousin. Might have been speeding a little. Haha

We got stuck in a blizzard near Lincoln Nebraska. Visibility and so much snow on the road reduced our speed to 15-20 mph. We found a hotel by luck but all restaurants were closed and the convenience store was cleared out of food...

Holy crap. No food. Not good.
Good luck eating.

Thanks, we had our bin of snacks that’s always in the truck with us, but no hot dinner....🤷‍♂️
This morning we’re averaging 45 mph, lots of black ice.....

I was pulling a trailer with my F 250 and slide off I 90 near Mitchel, SD on black ice once years ago. Always have a alcohol stove in the vehicles so punched a hole in the top of a can of chili and heated that up to go with crackers and made coffee. Trooper told me there was a plow truck back a ways and he radioed to have him pull me back on the road which he did. I followed him for miles and miles at 20 mph until he had to turn around. Road was pretty good from there into Rapid City. Best to make that trip in the Spring before the thunder storms start.

My Dad had an early 60's Falcon station wagon. I learned to drive stick on the tree in that car and got it stuck a lot in the sand in FL. Yours is a BEAUTY!!

We’ve been fortunate so far. After a crappy hotel and nothing to eat but snacks, we hit the interstate this morning but the plows either didn’t run all night or were overwhelmed by the snow that fell until 3:0” am...

30 mph for the first couple hours and then up to 55 and eventually back to 75....then about 2:0” it started snowing again, first light, then moderate and eventually pretty heavy. Visibility reduced and then it started sticking again. Back to 55 mph and as it was getting dark we got off in Ft Morgan Colorado with a clean Hampton Inn. and an Italian steak house with Long Island tea’s.....🙏🏻👏

Off to check that out.....

He sent me pictures Saturday of it, it's a really nice nurd car, told him so and told him he would look good driving it! HA! He has no humor.

Never met Monte but you're doing a good job of creating a visual...scary as it may be.
He's a good guy! I just had to put him on lock out, because of his political views and his posts. I still consider him a friend, just not a close one as in of old.
