Public Enemy
We went up Friday night. While driving up, I told Susan even if the driveway has 1 foot of snow I am go to drive in and park in the garage! Well we still had a 2 foot snow drift at the end of driveway. And...well before I tell you that story let me flash back 22 years.
It was the end of March 1986. I drove up with my Dad on a Friday night to open the place up. We were driving his old Jeep Wagoneer (1984 to be exact). I remember that it was really foggy because it was very warm and the snow was melting. It was so foggy that the headlights of the car were just reflecting off the fog. So I decided to drive with the lights off, which made my Dad yell "You are going to give me a heart attack!". I only did that for a few seconds, but it was fun messing with my Dad. When we finally arrived at the house, there was 2 feet of snow on the driveway. I remember my Dad saying "Just pull in". So I did. I made it 30 feet before getting stuck. My Dad had a fit, apparently he was only kidding about pulling in. All was fine and the snow melted the next day and I was able to get the car out in the morning. But I had a lot of fun trying to get in.
Back to the present. Friday night I saw we had a 2 foot snow drift at the end of the driveway. But beyond that the snow was maybe 8 inches deep. With a clear spot further down the drive. So I pulled in. Almost got stuck. But I took it easy, and made it all the way into the garage. I have to say it was more fun when I got it stuck in 2 feet of snow with my Dad. And Susan did not yell "You are going to give me a heart attack!" I wonder why so many of relatives have heart problems?
I have no images this week. I did not do much work, so nothing to show. Lot's of mud every where.
We did go out to dinner Saturday night at a local Italian restaurant. I over heard people talking about how Johnny Depp is in the area filming a movie named Public Enemy. I guess he plays John Dillinger. He is reported to be staying at a local Hotel. And because of the filming a lots of homes in the area have been rented out for the cast and crew. Darn I would do anything to have Johnny Depp stay at the house! So if he is reading this, give me a call. I promise to clear the snow on the drive way.
