Dam Road

Time for Hubby's heart check-up.  Of course it was!  Road was solid.
Leaving town
Lake Norfork
Dam road

I suction cupped myself to the truck seat and buckled in 'cause Hubby was having fun with me.  He had to check if the road was slick.  He had to see how far he could go up a hill in two wheel drive.  He had to find the edge of the road.

I addressed Hubby with his full name many times.  He would just laugh and demonstrate the difference between positive track and four wheel drive. He even tried to teach me how to drive out of a spin/slide.

We are home again safe and sound.

The passenger side of the truck has been cleaned.

I'm still not talking to him!

His heart check up came out well but I think I am having trouble after that ride!

I already know what happens, which is why I stay home!

Hahaha! Boys never outgrow their love of adventure... and tormenting girls! Glad you both arrived home in one piece and that his heart check went good. Glad yours' is strong enough to withstand the ride! You can imagine the things I've said when Papa Bear takes the Ranger up and down hills with angles far exceeding recommended tilt. He loves it, me - I'm a flatlander by birth! :-)

Your hubby is like mine when there is ice on the road.
Glad you got home safely.
Have a wonderful evening, Gail. ♥

I am so glad that you both lived to fight another day......I so know that song and dance. Men, blech!!!

Dar said...

oh, oh, how this reminds me of my man...now that he's fine, I'd say you can reach out and touch someone hard enough to impress a memory of your own...those guys, such jokesters.

Glad to hear all went well with the heart doctor.

I hate driving on ice. Your husband enjoyed scaring you while he drove on the ice.

It sounds to me like pay backs are coming :-)

Kamana said...

aren't all men the same, especially when it comes to driving?

Kathryn Dyche said...

They love to scare us don't they. Had to laugh at the passenger side being cleaned!
