I called a friend of mine this morning couldn’t get an answer got a little worried. Now this is a woman when it gets cold outside she won’t go out for her regular coffee group but this morning where did I find her? Sitting at Hardees drinking her coffee! Go figure Love Ave 🙂
Cool story bro?
Meant two of course.
At 8:00 AM I saw tow 4 wheel drive pickups slide through the intersection. 4 wheel drive helps you get going but does nothing to help you stop. be careful out there.
IF YOUR CAR IS SITTING OUTSIDE…..I SUGGEST GETTING YOUR WINDSHIELD COVERED UP !!! IT IS GETTING NASTY OUT THERE !!!!
