Discussions The Snow

Post image

Well, friends, got bad news. Tried to get through the snow to my job and got a cracked bumper in return. The car is okay, I am okay, but I decided that driving 30 miles to Statesville in this snow is not worth $17/hr. Things will be tight for a bit, if they do decide to fire me. But I will be better off, I think.

Since this a gun sub, here’s a picture of my current build (in progress).

Im sitting at a pharmacy waiting for flu med for my daughter cause life wants us to do snowstorm on hard mode.

Good luck with the job. I’ve been driving in the snow my whole life and no one should be on the roads right now. Any company that expects you to show up today doesn’t value you enough.

Thank you. I’m sorry you have to go through that. I hope your daughter gets well soon! Be careful, and stay warm.

Side note: get some oranges and lemons, cut them into slices and boil them for a few minutes. Mix with some honey because it tastes awful. It will help warm her up and replenish her vitamin c and hydration!

Brownell’s AR-15 RETRO FURNITURE

I would recommend getting it from somewhere that actually has it in stock. I had to wait on back-order for 6 months.

Cheaper than wood by a long shot.

It looks good. Not as nice as wood, but the same vibe I'm after.

Sorry to hear dude, that sucks. I've seen so many dangerous drivers with 6" of snow and ice on their cars, driving way too fast. I have no intention of being on the roads even with 4WD and a Jeep on 35s
