No where to go today.

Dang 40 minutes really?! Possibly why Americans get away with anything and are gone 38 minutes before the po-po show up lol.

I live in Orillia, Where I have to contend with the Ontario Provincial Police's headquarters.. No lie. A 3:1 cop:person ratio in my town.

Yes at night there is only one county cruiser on duty. They never go on the gravel roads. Our county is about 24 miles on a side.  There are two state highways going through the county One is about 6 miles away but the state boys stay on that.

The county encourages us to be prepared and issue carry licenses to anyone who doesn't have a conviction or mental record. Truly most people are very friendly and nice. The places where people live in fear are usually places where they have to depend on the police to draw chalk lines around the corpse.

My wife just read this and told me that she once saw a sheriff's vehicle go down the road.

We never see any law enforcement on our roads. They are 40 minutes away if you really need them. Better carry some fire power for the zombies.

about the same here. If you want to do something around here you go for it. Luckily most people around here know of a thing called individual responsibility and don't commit nasty crimes. If I had to rely on the police the average responce time when I have called is approx 58 minutes.

Holy crap. I have done something outside that my neighbours didn't like.. and the cops were here before I got inside the house.

That is including time on the phone with the dispatch! LOL

Neighbors? We have some about a mile to the east. Mile and a half to the north and south and a half mile to the west.

Probably that is why I am as self sufficient as I am. Seems like on almost every post someone says: You can buy that do-dad after I just built one.

Lmfao. Yup that'd make sense. I live in the rich area of a small town, borderline city. 39,000 or so.

But still an hour and half north of Toronto.

So your 180mile road trip was just the drive to the nearest City eh?

[scrounger]

Still you have a 29 year old car
We are about 180 from st louis and 150 from KC.
The nearest VW dealer is 75 miles.
We live on a farm. Plenty of places to play off road. Four wheel drive  tractor.  Mtn bikes, dirt bikes, Forest management stuff.

That sounds pretty damn awesome man. I can dig it. I love riding ATV's and driving tractors. I am not a city boy, but compared to you and theman53 I am lol.

I have four cars in my driveway older than 1990. And one on my garage older than 1970. My neighbours have despised me and my family since we moved in 8 years ago .

If you want to live in the country work towards it. Join in the fun.

We have but 2 cars, two trucks, two tractors, about 15 motorcycles, except for our dirt bikes they are all 70's and 80's and a bunch of bicycles,  Things with small motors and lots of things that burn various powders.

Our neighbors live similarly except for the Amish. They can have motors but no rubber tires.

btw the weather is moderating. The wind is down to 29mph and the temp is 21F.

[8v-of-fury]

Sounds like my kind of day

I have done stuff in my vehicles that made girl literally pee her pants, while driving too. I do likewise to get used to slick conditions

That made me chuckle.  You do like the girl and pee your pants to get used to slick conditions??

We had a holiday trip planned today. About 180 miles.
Now we're having 48-55 mph winds after 5 inches of snow.
Maybe we can get out tomorrow or Saturday.

That spaceship looks like its ready to blast off to mars. I dig t.
