Some of it is not even funny cuz you know they got hurt BAD. But others, Yeah, I'm staying in until it thaws out around here which will be on Saturday. LOL
The soldiers marching reminded me… I was at Great lakes naval school command just north of chicago, it was January. Being military we had to march to school… across the street!!!! The school was literally across the street from the barracks!!
We marched down the sidewalk to the corner in columns of 4. Just a half block, then turn 90 degrees while still marching in columns and cross the street! Looks cool when you do it right…
I remember laughing so hard one morning!!! It was a riot!!! The sidewalk was bad enough, a sheet of ice, a few guys fell before we got to the corner… But to turn 90 degrees while still marching in columns?
That morning the corner looked like a bar fight!!!! Guys falling, taking out other guys.. who took out more guys!!! Some guys were crawling on all 4’s to get across!!

Been there done that, mostly.
Like Caribou, I’ve been there and have done that. My mind is still willing, but being at social security age, I am slowly learning my body doesn’t appreciate the hits.
I need to see a chiropractor just from watching that film!

Gonna watch it again. There was one that made me gasp. okay several. Seriously, what were ya'll's three faves?LOL
That was me in a school bus this morning. A very slight drizzle on 8" of hard packed snow equals ice rink. It took me over an hour to get through a 15 minute run through a small native village. I had to try and stop a half block from the kids to be sure I didn't slide into them. They were falling on their azzes trying to reach the bus. I was so thankful when I got back to the road. The band had the bus route sanded for the pm run or I would have dropped them all at the gas station.
I got the sled out yesterday morning!! I AM NOT 25 ANYMORE! Thankfully there is no video, bad thing is I'll do it again today!!
