Highway 70, rush hour, 70MPH...

Polishing my survival skills:)
Part one. Introduction.
Drove to the Forest. After finishing our 1,5 hr walk loaded Yarko into the car and started to turn around on the narrowish' forest trail. Wasn't open-eyed enough and got the front right wheel into the hole in the ground. The wheel fitted in perfectly:)
Part two. The Plan.
Came out of the car, evaluated the Situation. Phone is always with me, charged, so I thought that in the worst case I could call to one of my friends, explain where I am and let him pull me out with his jeep. But situation didn't look too hopeless. I had the shovel in the car and loads of pine tree branches laying around. Also had water for Y, and for myself, to do the hard work:)
Part three. Action.
Started with digging the the hole much bigger from two sides - behind and in front of the wheel. Added branches nr 1. (see the scheme:). Then started the car, moved it back ca 20 cm, so I could put the branch nr 3 under the wheel. Continued to move car back and forth to add branches to lift the wheel higher. Ground was soft and sandy so I didn't want to take any risks to get stuck again. Finally the wheel was lifted high enough to drive out of the hole safely. Yehaa!
Part four. Award.
Got home, took a shower (was looking like a roadman!) and poured myself a glass of cold white wine.
:)
EDIT:
Teine joonis on lisatud, sest: üks Pauli sõprades ütles: "I would like the "after the award" drawing too. In the survival drawing you look a little stressed!"

Ma võiksin sellega täitsa korralikku elatist teenida. Veeretaks Nõmme keskuse purskkaevuplatsil päikese paistel päevi õhtusse, mütsi paneks jalge ette maha ja laseks Yarkol kümmelda niipalju kui ta süda ihkab. Sest kui ma teda seal peale jalutuskäike jahutan, koguneb rahvas vaatama ja kommenteerima nagunii. Lapsed kiljuvad vaimustusest, kui ta end kuivaks raputab. Tsirkust kogu raha eest!

USCIS'e rattad liiguvad. Aeglaselt, aga nad liiguvad siiski....

Yarko tegi sõprust puu otsast potsatanud varesepojaga. Lõpuks tõstsin ta naabri aeda (väikese varese siis, mitte Yarko). Turvaline, pole kasse-koeri. Tänaseks on ta juba piisavalt asine, lendab männilt teisele. Vanad linnud muidugi Yarkost palju ei pea...Vaata
