Just Not Fast Enough

So I'm heading south on 169 this morning in the snow. I'm going 55-60 mph in a 65 mph stretch. The right lane is good but visibility from other cars kicking up the snow is terrible. I'm keeping a good distance from the car ahead of me...everybody is driving carefully...well, except one guy. He comes up behind me and I could tell he was getting the itch to pass. After a couple minutes I guess he just couldn't take it anymore and ventured into the snow-covered left lane. I slowed down to let him continue to the fire. He stayed in the left lane to pass the next guy..thats when I had to slow way down because I couldn't see.

After the snow cleared a bit I was able to speed up a little. A snowplow coming north was throwing snow into the southbound lanes and completely hiding the road from view. I had to slow way down again. As things became visible again, there was our friend..buried in snow sitting in the center divide area of the highway...trying to back out too yet.

Now that was entertaining for the morning commute ..what an airhead. At least He can be stupid a little longer. smirk.gif

I hope you honked and waved as you went past him. grin.giflaugh.gifsmile.gifcool.gif I hate people who also run red lights and think there time is more valuable then yours, as you have to wait for them to go past you as you wait at a green light.

    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
