Made it back..

Once again we made the trek north and came home without major incidents. We had some close calls along the way home though. When we left here on Thrusday morning the temp was 7 degrees above zero. And for most of the morning the drive was absolutely beautiful. The sun was coming up and shining on frosty trees; it looked like a Chrismas wonderland. The ski slopes were open for business in Ellicottville, NY and the roads were bare. We crossed over around 4pm after a stop in Niagara Falls, NY to eat and hit the slots. Thrusday night the snow hit Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada. The mist from the falls mixed with snow made for a very icy drive. But we drive thru the park beside the falls to see the Christmas Lights . Canada does have it together; the lighting was awesome! Friday's start was snowy and an idiot's light (ABS) on the dash came on. Me being a somewhat idiot is aware that when a light comes on that wasn't there before could pose a problem. But when you're on the QEW the light can wait til you exit. Now we all know that an owner's manual comes in handy for what this light could mean. But my Ford ranger didn't come with a manual; its posted on the internet which was not at my disposal at the time. The net or the manual would have to wait. Looked for a Ford dealership; but couldn't find one. So the idiot light would have to just stay on. We got to our destination and turned off the engine. Did our business and fired up the ford and the light went off. Still don't know why; guess I better look at Ford's website and look at the manual since were home now and I have access to a computer. I'll finish this post later today and its late. And while it fresh in my memory I'm going to look for my manual on line....bye for now.
