It's been a busy winter so far, and I've spent quite a bit of time driving to far away places to slide on cold snowy stuff. Thankfully, I've done a lot of this driving solo - but even I'm annoyed at the things I do.
1. Press the scan button. Allow radio to scan for up to 20 minutes. Listen to 2 minutes of a very crappy song to which I can sing some of the words loudly. Press scan again. In north central PA and West Virginia, there are a plethora of country music stations and radio ministries. I don't care for either.
2. Tell myself I'm not going to eat candy. Bring grapes to substitute. Buy candy the first time I stop for gas.
3. Forget to bring my water bottle out of the trunk after having a dead battery - 2 hours of parched-time.
4. Bring way too much stuff. A boot/gear bag, a bag for the other uniform, a bag of clothes, a cooler AND my laptop bag. On the last trip I brought two pairs of skis - like no one in West Virginia would have an extra pair if I broke a binding or something.
5. Leave my cooler in the car, figuring it is cooler out there. Forgetting that even a cooler won't keep grapes from freezing when it's in the single digits.
6. Singing loudly without knowing the words to pop music and hip-hop. Even when it's the third time that hour that the Fireflies song is on.
This week, I'm staying home. The car has a new starter and a new battery. It won't even get to go on my next trip - someone else is driving to Elk next week!
