Has too much time on their hands

So you two were just going for a fun ride!?! Well, I hope she enjoyed it

After her panic attack, and she understood that we would just winch the two vehicles out of the deep snow and then drive home she was happier. Except about her feet. Her feet were really cold and they would not warm up. She wore that wrong style of boot( tops too low) and they filled with snow with every step. The boots are waterproof and she was wearing thick wool socks. But when your boots are 3/4 full of water from melting snow, the wool socks don't even help.
She has today dug out her big winter boots and made me buy more recovery gear. I figure give it a few weeks and she may start itching for a rematch.
Take the warning labels off. Darwin will solve the problem.

I hate that when the snow goes down my boots.
Rubbers are the worst.

It's pretty impressive she would go thru so much snow with her own car just for fun.... Thumbs up to her!!
My half does wear good boots but no gloves and hat. I'm the other way around, always my gloves and hat but I have a hard time not to wear running shoes....

I can't imagine anything much worse than snow down your rubber.

Now here we have a strange problem...How does one report an off color remark to the MOD when the MOD is the guy making it...

Having fun 
We were out with the Jeeps, I was running with my brother, he had a spring over conversion on his. Blew out 2 U joints on the rear driveshaft. We taped a bag around the transfer case to keep the fluid in and got out just on the front axle over heavy rock and only 2 helper pulls, it was a heck of a lot of fun.
Never did a snow run but there is a reason you never wheel alone, be safe and be prepared and you will have stories for a lifetime.
