Shiveree 2010 Pictures Added

[Kurt (Indiana)]

It is amazing how adults that have driven in snow all their lives, forget how to from one year to the next.

I'm not sure they ever really leaned how to drive in snow in the first place. They might slow down a little as the snow keeps coming but it is certainly not a natural born instinct.

Image trying to remember how to use turn signals and all the confusion that entails. Now try it in the snow.

Too bad the road crews can't salt the intersections (at least).

Jeff sent me an E-mail over the weekend

I tried to copy it but the gist is

A WINTER STATISTIC

98 % of all drivers say "OH sh**" just before slidding into the ditch.....



The other 2% are from Michigan and simply say " Here hold my beer and watch this ...........

Like the guy that almost side swiped me at the light at 5:30 this morning

Saw him coming and couldn't speed up cause I was sliding also. He wound up backwards in the intersection and I manged to miss him, Not sure how


So doesn't the snow just make you want to go camping

Good thing today is not the day for the "Shiveree"

I don't think there is enough Apple Pie for today.

We'll be snug inside the big tent. We'd for sure have to anchor it to a couple trucks as windy as it is.

This kind of weather makes us think of camping in the UP in October...never fails we get about 1 - 2 days of "gales" off of Superior! Tried to talk Lisa into tying the TD to the Ash in the back yard and "camping out" tonight....NO DEAL! Guess we must wait till Jan!!! I suppose the Coleman would not work well anyway

Just an observation....this low is sitting over Alpena MI with a BP of 980mb! That's a pretty deep low pressure for something that is not "tropical"!

Any one know if the stuff in the porta potty freezes.

I am thinking of making a foam canon mounted to the top of the car facing backward to hit tailgaters. Folks seem to totally forget following distance and seem to feel they have to enter yours.

Count me in as a thinking about it. Not sure about the Mrs. though. I figure if we're free from snow and the temps aren't *too* bad, I couldn't think of a better way to break up the winter blues than heading to a campground!

Time to get this thread hopping again. So who else is ready for a get together.
Eric says he'll help get the camper out of storage and we'll share it so looks like the Rolling Stone will be there I am so ready

So who all's thinking of coming, the more the merrier

I am sure it freezes, but you could use rv antifreeze for liquid to flush and should be fine. Or Apple Pie

[bobhenry]

APPLE PIE OH NO !

For those unfamiliar with our beverage of choice at every shivaree we have had ........

http://www.recipezaar.com/Apple-Pie-75026


I subbed 1/2 brown sugar for the sugar and added 1/4 tsp of each nutmeg, ginger and clove. 5-6 cinnamon sticks if you have time to let it age (3-4 weeks) if not add powdered cinnimon 1/2 tsp

It is knock your socks off good warm just off of the fire even before the everclear is added.

OK back on topic I had a older mustang with a foot pump windshield washer might just mix the porta potty holding tank with a little rv antifreeze added that ougth to get rid of the tailgaters

A great way to get rid of black water liquid storage

[Jst83]

Bob where do you let it age, fridge or room temp?
