I did, the strange part was I didnt see any reason why he would have spun out. No stopsign, no turn, nothing.
probably the invincability of having 4 wheel drive, and driving 70mph when he should have been doing 25mph.

sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't.
on the farm, we had real clean water, with an aquifir for the big city's near us rite under the farm.
so we drew rite out of the aquifer with a 75 ft deep well.

1/4 mile away, it was another story. serious sulfer issues, just like you had.
it was so bad over there that if you tried to use the well water to wash white cloths, they came out of the washer yellow. the only thing we used the wells for over there was watering the gardens and plants in the farm stand and greenhouses.
the houses had to use city water for everything.

Thanks Lisa! I like that her head is in the clouds, she is too young to not be. Today she told me that she is dating a Marine...Thats a new development. My older brother protective vibe kicked in instantly...But sounds like hes got his head on right, so all is good!

At least up there it's good for something. Wishing for snow where all it does it make a mess, cause wrecks, and you gotta shovel it, plow it, get it off your car just so you can go to work is not real bright. IMO!!

Enough to go tubing in and ride around in! It only snowed ounce here last year and it was only two inches. All this talk about snow is making me jealous.

Even when I lived in Buffalo I would not shovel it. Maybe a couple of feet long and a couple of feet wide just to make something easier for the wife. Other than that if my 4x4 would not get me out, I just did not go anywhere. I went through my snowmobile years. Had lots of fun, in fact that's another thing I am surprised did not kill me. I thought nothing of tearing across fields in WNY at 60 70 mph in the dark not even considering the fact that a barbwire fence may be right in front of me. Learned that stupid trick in Alaska where fences were of no concern.
