CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

All season tires are a myth to be polite.
They are fine if you only have 3 seasons, not so good in snow.

Just saw the news story and driver was ticketed for following too closely~!
Ya think?

There's some skill involved in snow driving that most drivers don't have so snow tires are needed for all. Still someone from New Foundland would drive better on bald summers than most folks with new snowies because they've had experience since they were youngsters.

Not that I'm the greatest driver in snow but we used to play with our cars in it, playing in parking lots, sliding sideways and doing donuts taught us something about momentum the weight of the cars and how they would react to a turn of the wheel......

Do that now and the laws on you so there's nowhere for kids to learn that shit. We had fun learning driving skills but today rules are rules don't play in the snow, reckless driving ticket and points on insurance...

Hey Yiz Menz!
Sorry I have been MIA. As most of you know I had an outpatient surgery done on Thursday and came home. Around 3am Friday morning I woke with a severe stomach bleed. Back to the hospital. They transferred me by ambulance (no emergency flights out due to weather) through a snow and ice storm to a larger hospital in Springfield and I underwent yet another surgery to stop the bleeding.
I’ve been pretty much knocked out since then, and they let me come home this evening. I’m tired and sore and hung over on fentanyl and morphine. Very very glad to be home!
Thanks guys, the messages I will get around to answering in a day or so.
Granny made it through.

I hope you get to be feeling better quickly sweetie, sounds like you’ve been through the wringer!
Fentanyl and morphine sounds like you’re going to need a lot of magnesium in your diet because that stuff is a cork! Having lived on fentanyl and Norco for 2.5 years, it gets uncomfortable.

I took my son out to the super plaza last winter. It has two strip malls, a movie theatre, a half dozen food stores and two or three big box stores. Parking is all in the middle in different zones.

He was worried at first but we had a blast. I was just worried about pot holes and hidden concrete blocks.

No cops showed up but it was still kind of ghost town at that time.

So sad, I was 17 when I had a V6 Buick Regal that I would race around a condo triagle parking lot, roundabout area. I learned so well I avoided several accidents where other less skilled snow and ice drivers could not. Yes, trained on Ice in 1977, racing as best I could control slide, whew those were the days in Tennessee.
