well,got the all clear to leave rapid city,so of down the 90 i went.after seeing numerous vehicles in the ditch,i noticed i was coming up to slow traffic.why is everyone going so slow?so i pull out to overtake,then i realised why.my arse-end started to dance.i was on sheet black ice.no wonder everyone was going slow.not everyone though realised how bad it was.a car coming the other way,spun out into the ditch and landed on its roof,luckily he wasnt going that fast,it could have been a lot worse.he climbed out and was sort of cursing himself.
the next few miles were the same.
i eventually got to the customers only to find it was closed for the day.so i parked up,had some grub,hour or so on the internet,then sleep.i was up at 6,got to the customer,after an hour was tipped and good to go.by the way,i know its monday morning after xmas,but surely it doesnt hurt to put a smile on your face.not one person looked happy there.i can be a grumby bastard some times,but when you are meeting other people you can pretend to be happy.so, i am at the minute,waiting for us dispatch to give me a run........

  1. Well done for sticking at it Andy, can't be easy with your family away from you. The winter looks much the same as Scandanavia, you get used to that "uncertain" kind of feeling on the ice in the end. As you've no doubt discovered!!

    Snow curtains will keep you safe.....??
