Handy Don 15,855 #477 Posted 6 hours ago When the national weather service upgraded the warning for my neck of the woods to “Blizzard,” I started to take this seriously. Current we’re in the 12-18 band with the localized being 11-15. We’ll see! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 11,317 #478 Posted 5 hours ago Today it was hard to believe that there’s a blizzard coming. I went down to the ocean to check it out. It was beautiful! Monday the seas are supposed to be 9-15’! As I looked to the east I noticed someone stuck and close to the water with an incoming tide. I walked back to my truck to get my binoculars and saw the guy digging out with a DOG BOWL! So I figured I’d do the right thing and grabbed the shovel and two tire pressure gauges out of my truck then walked about a quarter mile down the beach. Where I was parked you can’t just drive on. When I got to this gentleman he was super appreciative and really nice. We dug and dug and aired it down to 15psi. As we were almost done another guy walked down the beach with two of those plastic board boards with the nipples sticking up that are supposed to help you get unstuck. Apparently this guys wife saw this going on and called him to come lend a hand. We jammed them under the rear tires and he was out! The owner of the vehicle was very happy with our help and asked for my name and address. Three hours later two nice bottles of wine were delivered to my house from the local liquor store with a thank you note attached! 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c-series don 11,317 #481 Posted 5 hours ago (edited) Correct @Handy Don he pretty quickly admitted that he didn’t know what he was doing. I grew up driving on the beach, learning from some old timers and experience. Since high school (which is about two miles from where those pictures were taken) I have been towing and/or helping people off the beach.
