Tulsa Drivers

[heironymouspasparagus]

I am heading out into, pray for me...

Be careful!!  I have decided to brave the apocalypse directly and wait until Friday to drive between OKC and Tulsa.  Maybe late tomorrow??

I did that driving today (OKC, then over the Ponca). 

I made it home. Braums completely out of milk, Walmart bread (and lots of produce) shelves almost empty. Reasors had everything.

Surprised that Grizz had not posted this yet (from his FB):

Was told Braum's was out by one at work, then went into one near Moore, OK for a breakfast bagel and it was full of milk.  Go figure.

Got back to Tulsa in time to eat at Lot-A-Burger and go to the house.  Gonna work from home for the next couple days.....put some new faucet protectors on, too!

Only place in town (within the last four hours anyway) that I was able to reliably find those (faucet protectors) was at Sutherlands.  Bought a new snow shovel as well.

Got the last 3 that Lowe's had that day.  Bought a new shovel (non-snow) - flat across the front - to put in the trunk or back of the truck.  Got the Ice-trekkers on and am ready to go!  Well, was ready to go, since it is all past now....

Protector too late for one faucet - it froze up and now leaks regardless.  Can't really complain - it lasted 35+ years without much maintenance, so will just swap it out when the weather gets better.

Somehow I never managed to get a metal snow shovel to last more than a few years.  The plastic snow scoop I now have has been perfect for at least 10 years.   I had expected it would be disposable as well.

Saw several of those at Sutherlands but passed on them, getting the old metal one instead.  Did well enough for this weekend.

I still have one aluminum shovel with a steel edge that we brought here from PA in 1971.

I had to replace one that I picked up at a garage sale about 1971.  Handle broke a month or so ago, so couldn't shovel the ice on the driveway.  Gonna change the handle, then will have two....  Should last another 40 years or so at that point....I plan to not be shoveling by then.

That was the problem with my aluminum scoop: it would get hair-lipped from imperfections in the pavement.  A steel tip would have helped.

We brought two from PA.  I wore the steel down to the rivets holding it to the aluminum and the steel became detached on one.  Now I have only one.

I just need a flame thrower. BOOM! problem solved.
