I'm beginning to really hate winter.

[Big_John]

I had moved the truck and didn't realize that it was glare ice where it had sat. I caught my foot under the handle and it took me a little to get it free... Then it was so slippery that I had to crawl over to the snow to get enough traction to stand and even then it wasn't easy.

Old bones are gonna be sore tomorrow!

 

[Boydsdodge]

Oh ya, you'll feel that.
Good thing you were not in front of it.
Keep moving, walk it off.

I used to wear something like those. They had wound steel coils that stretched across the sole of my boots. I stopped wearing them after a couple near falls on the concrete in my garage. Those look like plastic, so they might be bad to walk on concrete. I'll look into them! Thanks!

 

[Boydsdodge]

I have the cleats, but would never think to put them on for a walk on driveway.

John, that hurt, just watching the video! At our age, most of the rubber is gone in our bodies! Hope you don't suffer too much or for long!
On a side note, I spent the last two weeks in Yellowknife and was surprised to see folk using leaf blowers to clear snow from driveways and walks. Since it is colder there the snow tends to be light and easily blown. Just found it interesting. Lindsay

Ouch!!

Damn John, that sucks. Glad you're OK though. Doing anything outside this time of the year could be dangerous. I mean, just yesterday I was doing yard work and had to stop and put on a cowboy hat so I wouldn't get sunburned.

That sucks, but glad you didn't get seriously hurt.

I knew a older gentleman that wore something like those in the winter, when he brought his car in for service he would always walk home. About 6-8 blocks from the shop, always walked home and back what ever the weather.

Glad it wasn’t worse! Take the day off today pal!

Dayum, John! You need people. . . Glad you weren't hurt.

 

[Big_John]

Yep, sore today... My neck is the worst. I had surgery fusing C5-C7 with some titanium brackets and screws and I think I got all that aggravated a little.

Some of my usual pain meds and I'm OK though.

I ordered these. A little more $, but they are supposed to be good to walk on bare concrete so it won't be bad to walk in the garage.

There's a place called "deep south" Where that stuff just doesn't happen. LOL
I know..... I came here from Michigan, long ago. (It's better in the South).

The mosquitos down here are wimps compared to the skeeters up north.

Damn John, that looked nasty. Just what you don't need with everything else going on. How have you been doing lately?

 

[commando1]

had moved the truck and

Stop it. Right now. You are too old for this ****. You're gonna break a hip ending up in a nursing home in a wheelchair lined up all day in the rec room.
Come on down!
