Zink 29727 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 We've been having unseasonably warm weather (not complaining). The last couple of days the bit of snow on the garage roof has thawed and the drain spout clogged so it's running down the driveway. In the evening it froze a thin sheet over half the driveway. Normally we park the third vehicle on the far side of the house in a bit of an alley on our property but the oldest has been running around with it so parked on the ice. Didn't know if was ice until I put it in park and the escape slid backwards a bit because there's a decent slope there. Ok it stopped and I got out carefully and started for the door. I started to slide so braced my feet and slide a foot or so until I barely bumped the Escape. That little tap was enough it took off down the driveway. I went with it, holding onto the hood for balance. The wife thought I was trying to keep it from rolling into the street. Laughed my broccoli off about that. It hit slush and ashpalt and stopped before going onto the street. It's a pretty long driveway. Moved it over to the other side and parked it where there was no ice after that. Gave me a good laugh at least and no harm done. 15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aku-chan 28391 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Booked my housemate her Covid jab. Unfortunately, they've decided to make things awkward (like usual) by setting up our areas jab place in some large out of town business conference centre, far away from pesky little things like public transport links. Going to be "fun" figuring out how to get home. 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But, it is a real shame we lost so much talent in one incident. 6 minutes ago, Glitterwolf said: We have rain here.. Any takers? I can do without. I've had my fill. Everywhere else has snow. I actually want snow for once. Instead, I get rainy and crazy... 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
