914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Ice all weekend

Posted by: guywan914 Jan 9 2005, 04:44 PM

Was supposed to pick up a 75 roller and some extra parts today, but the snow we were supposed to get ended up being all ice. Didn't feeling like taking a chance on not only crashing with the trailer especially but with all my new[used]parts in it. Instead I went to work scraping,stripping, and cleaning the bottom of the other 75.Today though I was able to use my new CD player my son bought me for x-mas, threw in some Hot Tuna and the time just flew by.I'll post pictures as soon as I get a digital camera, maybe I can get him to get it for my birthday[heh-heh-heh]

Icy roads and trailers do suck. At least you have something to work on.

Guy,
You made the right choice to stay home.
I met two customers (with trailers) from eastern Mass. at my shop Saturday morning.
The first one showed up around 10 o'clock . He had no trouble driving, but saw numerous earlier crashes beween Sturbridge and Willington.
The second one left the Boston area an hour later and encountered sleet on the Pike. He was slowed to 30mph by the time he reached I-84. He called me from the CT border to tell me all the cars were going in the ditch, but he did make it to Manchester around 1PM.
Not a good day to travel that route.
