1/4 inch sheet metal screws in shoes and in tires are like glue on ice.
Ya, that's the way it was done Old School. Problem is they fly out, like tiny little bullets :( At highway speeds it can be a real problem!

When I was in high school one kid rode his dirt bike to school in the winter, he wrapped this sash chain around the tire and rim through the spokes, he must have had a whole roll of chain on it but it worked lol. His dad own a auto repair shop and he was a dirt bike racer, the kid took after his dad, both were a little crazy and neither had any fear.

Deer Camp has been interesting this year. My son Mike got his first deer ever on Weds. evening. That night it started raining and on Thursday, that rain turned into a heck of an ice storm. Power went off early Thursday and is still off. Friday morning: It's no problem to make coffee, I'll just heat the water on the propane stove and pour it through the coffee maker manually. Wait... I only have whole-bean coffee and the grinder requires electricity. We ended up beating the coffee beans into submission with a meat tenderizer.

It took all four of us three hours to clear the tree damage enough to make the driveway passable. Then I went out in search of a generator. Found a nice Honda locally, but nobody here had the bloody 4-prong 30A plug needed to get 240V from it. 120V will run stuff like the fridge and coffee grinder using extension cords, but not the well pump. OK, I'll drive to Christiansburg, there's both a Lowes and a Home Depot there, one of them will have it for sure, right? Nope; both were sold out of that item. Grrr. On the bright side, Andy got a nice 8-point buck on Friday evening.

Today, I drove to Roanoke is search of the plug. Success! That plus 30' of 10-4 SJ cable to back-feed the breaker panel (with the main turned off, of course!) and we we have running water again. Being able to wash the dishes and flush the toilet is A Good Thing. :)

Time to break out the vintage "2nd week of deer camp" song! Pretty much how deer camp use to look for most of the guys I knew in my younger days, us New York red necks. :) I visited and hunted with some but never spent a night with them, at least I had a little bit of sense...

True story, one year this guy I worked with, John, his brother shot a nice six point opening day morning, about 10 AM we put the deer in the bed of John's pick up, four of us crammed in the truck and popped beers as we headed down the state land road, John finished his beer first, not wanting to get caught with empties in the truck he tossed the can out the window. We reached the main road, about four miles down a car behind us was honking, I looked back to see what was up and on one of the points of that buck's rack was John's beer can upside down, it landed with the pop top opening right on the end of one of the spikes, spinning in full view. :laugh:
