Popular Post Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted January 18, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted January 18, 2020 So7 was late getting off work. Road trip began at 10:30. Made good time until Morgantown WV; that’s when the sleet started. Refueled at the Sheetz with 37 miles left in the tank. Lady gave me a free coffee and told me to be safe. I79 was crap all the way to Washington PA, sleet turned to snow which was good news as we had to stop at the bedbug Walmart to clear ice off the windshield . Conditions improved west of Wheeling but the sleet has started up again in Ohio. We’re waiting for a Cracker Barrel to open in two minutes to take a little break. Pic is from the bedbug Walmart. Apparently, the Zanesville Cracker Barrel doesn’t open until 7. Back on 70 to Pickerington, theirs opened at 6. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sheep_herder ★ Posted January 18, 2020 Popular Post Share #5 Posted January 18, 2020 Stay safe and warm!! Think I would rather be dealing with our -9F and no wind than your conditions. Just found a set of twin lambs and put them and mom in an area with a heat lamp. Will check them again in a few moments and may bring them in to warm up a bit. Stay safe. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted January 18, 2020 Share #8 Posted January 18, 2020 I’m trying to figure out that hitch connection. Is that just a very long drawbar on the Jeep? The trailer looks like it is way behind the Jeep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the spare tire I need a extension or it’s a bitch to hitch it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet Zacharia Posted January 18, 2020 Share #12 Posted January 18, 2020 Where is your destination? Did you go 68 to 79 to 70? None of that would be fun in the snow. But most of the southern crossings through WVA would have been worse, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative is the PA Turnpike and I’m not doing that, 68 is an easier route. The sleet didn’t start until we got on 79 in Morgantown. Sketchy all the way to Washington PA. Wipers were icing up and 45 was the top speed. In Washington it had turned to snow but west of there it went back to sleet. But we made it. Took 11 hours. We just finished moving and I’m beat. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went back to move LAJ into a personal care home. He did that on Saturday and he is driving back to Va. later today. There goes his weekend, it’s what you do for family even when they don’t deserve it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share #18 Posted January 19, 2020 Driving back today. Snow flurries but no accumulation. Tailwinds the whole way. Dinner last night at Janet and Silent Doug’s. LAJ and Ken (Daddy Warbucks) were there too. A lot of blah blah blah. I’m glad we stayed at a hotel last night. We all slept well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share #20 Posted January 19, 2020 LAJ is in poor health. He walks slowly with a cane and can’t lift anything so he just watched the rest of us work. Me, Wo7, So7, RtJ, JtM, Silent Doug, Delilah, their 5 year old granddaughter, and Ken, aka Daddy Warbucks. LAJ believes that his poor health is temporary and that he’ll get better. He’s going to look into the possibility of a kidney transplant someday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
