I woke up this morning extremely excited about hitting up the slopes. I had all my gear ready and in the car. After I confirmed to myself that I had everything, I picked up my girl at her house. As I was there, I decided to eat some breakfast...a good ol' bowl of cereal, Honey & Oats to be exact. While I was grabbing the directions for Snow Summit, we also check the weather forecast. It said there's a 50-50 percent chance of a snow shower.
Well, before we left Mira Mesa, I had to fill up the tank, which was just about empty to begin with. After I got gas, I hit up the bank to pull out some money, and afterwards went across the street to Subway to grab a foot long Turkey & Ham sandwich on Honey Oat bread. I just realized that I had honey oats for breakfast and lunch...coincidence? Anyway, we got on the 15N and we were on our way. Everything was going great! No traffic at all.
After a good long an hour and a half long drive, we arrived at bottom, or the beginning of the mountain. We were about a good 3/4 up the mountain till our destination until we get to this turn and I felt a slight drift. As I felt it, I immediatly stepped on the breaks...NOTHING HAPPENS!! My girl in her exact words were, "what are you doing, what are you doing?" I told her that I wasn't doing anything and that there's nothing I can do. We then collide into the dirt on the side of the road which was covered with snow. Then suddenly, the engine of my car is off. I immediately turn my key to check if it still works, and thank the Lord, it did. The only problem was, we were stuck on the side of the street underneath some snow. I had to rev my car in reverse to it's maximum power to get out of there.
We then, pulled over to the side of the road, and decided to take that as a sign. Scary...very scary indeed. I didn't have any tire chains for my car, since it was snowing out, so we decided to head back down the mountain. Ya'll understand right?
Well, as we were heading down the mountain, my girl calls her cousin since she lives in L.A. So they decided that they wanted to hit the waves and go surfing. That didn't go through. Guess why?...It started to rain really hard. It was definitely a sign from God, to stay in the house and just relax.
Instead of surfing, we ended up watching a movie, 300. It was even sicker the second time I saw it. I can't get enough of the fight scenes...they are just so, how can I say this, different the normal fight scenes from movies. Just like what Tony the Tiger always says, "They're great!" After that, it was time for us to leave. Such a disappointment. I was really looking forward to snowboarding...ah well, there's always next season.
Thank you Lord, for protecting us from harm. We thank you that it wasn't serious.
There was only minor damage to the car, which was located on the rim. It's a bit scratched up, but I'm glad that there wasn't any damage anywhere else on the car.
Lord, Thank you again.
