      My wipers had stopped working that morning , as I was going across a bridge, I had a Semi pass me, and completely coated the entire width of my windshield with mud. I was completely blinded with my front vision. I relied on looking out my side window to keep in my lane. It was all i could do to try and remain driving straight until the second i was off the bridge then pulled over. Scariest moment I've ever had in 50 plus years of driving. Lesson Learned. Will never go without wipers again

    Tim Hortons was a Canadian NHL hockey player that quit hockey to make and serve coffee at the arenas. Canadians love their hockey and their coffee. Plus it’s cheaper. Starbucks in the city gets a lot of Canadians, but it came along much later, pretty expensive and more hippy dippy vibe. Back in the day, we only had Tim’s and it sure beat our thermos coffee after 2 - 3 hours in the cold vehicle, or sitting at the arena. 😊❤❤ ☕️☕️☕️

    But this Montana gal is too old for winter anyway, so I call my sons for errands... and get all my groceries delivered by walmart. And while the snow flies I watch movies and pop into your channel to remind me I don't miss being 'out' in the winter anway -- life is good! 🤪

On the way back south, I made a wrong turn, and ended up on the Cassier Hwy, which was gravel back then! It rained hard for a couple of days, and washed a small section of the road out! Hwy crews worked on it, and got it passable. I was so thankful I was driving my Nissan Pathfinder! It was an experience I’ll never forget!

    All those complaining about your wipers not being fixed are showing us exactly why they watch you. Too afraid of their own shadow to pursue dreams so they watch others do it.
    Come on folks, she ain’t stupid, she knows exactly what she is doing. Just because she is a woman who acts the part (very respectfully I might add) doesn’t mean she is clueless. Seems to me she is smarter than most of us. :)

    • @carolynesoucy6658
      @carolynesoucy6658 2 місяці тому +1

      No one is saying she is stupid or clueless. But driving without wipers, especially in those conditions is dangerous not just for herself but, more importantly for others on the road. Others drivers and maybe even pedestrians. I enjoy these videos and most of the people commenting obviously do too. Stating a fact is different than being rude. It just seems strange that someone who is going to be driving in tough winter conditions and going on these (I'm assuming) "solitary" road trips is not more prepared than this. It's a legitimate concern.

      If she had hit someone when backing out of a parking space because she couldn't see out the back and couldn't be bothered to clean it manually, I'm thinking that her reckless and carefree days on the road and this UA-cam Channel wouldn't be as active anymore. I think one can be living this lifestyle but also be prudent and mindful of the world around you.

      Ok, it’s not😢 rude or pointless to advise someone to be careful. We need to respect good advice and not take it as an attack on Maria. If your wipers or brake lights went out, you’d get them repaired. Whether, the wipers issue is just for drama, they are very important in snowing and raining conditions. Let’s not reprimand those who are concerned about Maria’s welfare and voice it politely. Repair of wipers is not rocket science and she has certainly been to repair shops quite a number of times.

I was rotated back to Kandahar and my first stop was the Tim Hortons on the boardwalk. I went up to the counter and stood there, vapor locked. The middle aged Canadian lady behind the counter came around, held my hand and brought me a coffee and a donut, knowing I was simply overwhelmed with choosing something.
