Had your truck up a tree lately?

Posted Tuesday, November 29, 2011, at 6:04 PM

Getting wood today turned into a little bit more of an ordeal. The wet muddy conditions made my truck (4-wheel drive) slide sideways on the hill. In the process it ended up on top of a stump just barely tall enough to remove traction from the tires.

I could see me telling Deb that the truck was "up a tree". Sounds like that auto insurance ad on TV about a guy who seems to go up a pole frequently.

Anyway, my 4-wheel drive tractor was able to pull it off by the trailer hitch. Everything was so slippery, it really did not take much. From there I loaded the truck down with wood and there was enough traction to get out of there.

Guess I will use wood closer to the house until it dries out.

Steve I have to tell you, I'm really beginning to feel sorry for your wife. The things you get yourself into makes what my husband does not so bad.

I expect a Christmas card from him this year.

You think I told my wife about this?! I was hoping I could pull it off without extra help and it turned out that way.

Heck, most of us probably do some of these things, they just don't publicize it. I just laugh at myself and move on.

Can't wait for the next one. Well.... maybe I can.

You know, maybe making a comment like this on my blog as I am negotiating new auto insurance is not the best thing, ya think?
