When Men Get Bored and an Eye Test

Today, I have for you an eye sight test. What is that way way way off in the field?

If you guessed my jeep, you'd be correct. If you guessed my jeep and THE MAN plowing to it on the Kubota, I'd award you a chipboard gold star covered with vintage glass glitter.

Now, you might ask...why would your new jeep be way out in your field, Mitra? It seems like such an odd place for a brand new jeep.

Well, you see...last Saturday THE MAN got bored. He said, lets see how far we can get in the field with our  Polaris Rzr. Now this bad boy is our trail vehicle. We haul our wood back with it and in general, it works well with mud, snow, etc. However, it was not capable of getting through the huge amount of snow we had in the field. So, basically after figuring out it was not going to work, he gave up his plan of visiting our trails out back in five seconds.

Then I said, well, I suppose you will want to try my jeep next?

Bad move on my part. Next thing I know I am backing her out of the nice warm garage and we've hit the snow.

For the record, he did say, well, if we get stuck, it will be really close to the driveway and I'll just pull it out with the tractor.

For the record, it was not close to the driveway, but nearly in our trees.

Interestingly enough, to get the jeep out really did not take that long for me. I watched from the upstairs window for an hour in the warmth and scrabooked. When he was nearly there, I went down to help drive one of the vehicles. She was out in about five minutes just hung up on packed up snow. We put her back in the garage to thaw out.

My FIL said: Who drove out there??? Was there a need to be out there?? A snow blower is what he needs, and don't try off roading when the snow is that deep.

My Dad said:  You know. really. Plow your way there, really!!!???  Snow blower on that 'Bota would 'a made it there in minutes and you two could 'a celebrated on those heated seats while the kids look up from their what-ever devices in the big room and wondered what are they doin'? What ya thinkin'? Missed an opportunity there, dude. 

It's good to know you can still get scolded by parents when you are nearly 40.

Happy almost Friday!
