Just a place for quick little posts.
Green
Had fun, yes fun, driving for several hours in Chciagoland's snow.
Pulled into an unplowed parking lot, had my daughter get in the drivers seat, then taught her how to do donuts, figure 8s and fishtails, then bring it back under control. She loved it, I think shes officially a hoon now.
Got stuck trying to back into my unplowed driveway, for the second time in three days. My wife really seems to like the fact that she has no problems with her Jeep and keeps pulling me free.

Considered sending it to the shredder and becoming "stro-less"
Tired of it leaving me stranded

I spent 3 hours diggin out steph's van.
We were stuck 3 houses down from where my family lives.
We never made it there,so I dug it out & we went home.
The big secret to how we got the "all season" tire astro out is
cowpie shavings.Luckily there was a horse/cow field next to us,so I snuck some
poop/shavings & layed it down & the greasy goo got us out.

Washed my '99 Astro it and loaded up with all the junk my son left when he moved out back in October. Getting ready to head over to his "new" apartment to drop it off !

Is the Astro going to your son as well?

Opened up dad's shop, flipped on the light, looked at the dusty, subframe-less van with the 5.3L sitting on the ground in front of it....
And wondered if my wife would work on it after she finished blowing the snow out of the driveway....
