Game night 1 of this weekend is finished. Played a couple of fun games, had some fun food (brownies are always good), and fun/good friends. We played/talked well into the early morning.
It was snowing and blowing in the area so I expected a treacherous drive on the way home. The roads were turning nasty on the way there, I only expected them to get worse. But since we didn’t have more than 2 or 3 more inches of snow, I thought I would be able to navigate all the roads roads I travel.
Not more than 1/2 mile outside of town, heading west, there was a car in the ditch being pulled out by a wrecker. I had to wait there for a while, since there was nowhere to back up and take a different route. Looks like I had to be a bit more cautious.
I finally headed off the main road and on to the back county road system. Drifts were piling up on the first North/South road I traveled on. Since it looked like they were straight across the road, I didn’t think I would have any trouble on the East/West roads. I was wrong, a bigger drift was on that road… Then an even bigger drift on the next North/South road. Obviously the wind was blowing in every direction.
Made it home in one piece. Happy I have the new tires on the truck. Happy I have good friends to talk to. Life while not perfect, for today it is good.
Sorry I missed out on the fun. Not so sorry that I missed the drive home. Didn’t want to spread my bad germs around, but feeling much better today! Must have been one of those quick travelling bugs, thank goodness.
Glad you got home safe and that the roads didn’t scare you away from game night!
Glad you made it home in one piece. At least you didn’t hit a pothole causing $250 damage like I did last week. 🙁
Derek, sorry to hear about that pothole. Easy to do this time of year in the snow belt, and it can be expensive.
