Let it snow!

It came upon a midnight clear....okay, not really. It was more like mid afternoon on a Thursday in a blizzard in lovely Pagosa Springs. I was supposed to go Christmas shopping in Farmington today, but upon passing SEVEN cars/trucks in the ditch during the 6 mile trek into town this morning, the jury threw out the shopping idea. To add insult to injury, whilst sitting in my sister-in-law's driveway, I thought, "Hey, this would be a great time to try out those cute tire chains I bought last winter." WRONG. Turns out they are too small even though the bag says they will fit up to a 38" tire. :rolleyes: Ah well, better to know now and be able to lengthen them then to find out late one night with trailer in tow.

After raiding the movie store we made our trek back home. The snow let up a bit this afternoon so I called our friend Jody who has a big Bronco and once we dug the garage out enough to extract Lemon Joy, we were off! I will give you the brief version of our trip. We were general menaces around the neighborhood and then headed up an unplowed road. There was snow, we both got stuck, Lemon Joy started on fire again, the big Bronco lost all gears but 2nd and a hootin' good time was had by all!! :D

YOU ARE CRAZY!!!! Your head must have been freezing!!! I don't fancy the cold all to well.

Although, it does look like fun!

The funny part is that I was fine until I got home and all that snow started to melt and run down my neck! I was wonderfully bundled up, but my hands did get a bit cold after having to throw snow on the fiery engine. :rofl: WORTH IT!! :greg:

Too much fun.. We might have to help you with a new name for Lemon Joy though.. a couple come to mind How about Kickn' Mare, The Un-Bridled or Crazy Ass Mare. How about a new post on RME looking for names. I am just of the opinion that Lemon Joy is way to subtle and she would prefer something a little more wild.

WOOT! Looks like a fun trip. I'm still trying to decide if I want to take the new buggy out in the snow, or wait until I put a real floor and firewall in.

She is definitely a crazy ass girl, no arguments there! Since you own a cutie such as herself, I'm assuming you know first hand of the early Bronco's unique personalities?

Oh Professer! Don't be a giant pansy, who needs a real floor? If anything, going out without a real floor will make you appreciate the floor all that much more when you get it in. :)

It was a lot of fun the other day!!! Thanks for the invite. Well do it again soon

Don't be fooled, the first rule in snow blasting, is always take another rig along that is heavier than yours to use as an anchor. :D

Does look like fun. But I have grown more attached to rocks these (cold)days.

It was a hoot! Next time let's do it when Dominic isn't in school and LJ isn't feeling as "fiery"! :rofl:

Now Jeff, don't be spilling our secrets! MPM is new to the scene and we already have him brainwashed into thinking that Bronco's are the best things EVER and that we are sane, rational individuals. :)
