Hmmm...Where Am I From?

I am from Langley Air Force Base, Virginia... well, originally.  Mascoutah, Illinois deserves my "from" rights.  Though,
From Germany and Native America is where my blood trail leads.

I am from a place of morals and ethics.  From a place where fun has no limit as long as respect is maintained.

From the country outskirts of town, where we run barefoot across acres of land.  Where "we" is my brother, sister and I.
I am from pickle eating, blackberry picking and homemade breakfast making.

I am from hunting and fishing and guns and boating; also, from the age of technology, computers and video gaming.
I am from imported cars and electronics.  From going "Green" and economy.
From a family tree of mechanical inclination and logic and hard working people.
I am from and raised a Christian, although Sundays were for relaxing, 9 times of 10.
God granted me ability to succeed, so I'll always persevere.
That's a little about where I'm from, where to next? An engineer.

SNOW DAYS!!

So, right when the weather just starts to warm up a little (i.e. Saturday), a crazy winter weather mix comes crashing through the midwest.... Although, I do have to admit, I enjoy the snow and it sparks a few memories.   When I was younger, my brothers and I would get the four wheelers out and create the first tracks through the freshly laid powder.  We attach plastic sleds to the back of the ATV, and we would alternate who drove and who manned the sled.  The greatest challenge arose with snow "surfing," which, as the name implies, entails standing up on the sled while maintaining balance through all bumps and obstacles.
Though I didn't have access to a four wheeler this snow day, I do have an all wheel drive car that provided some form of satisfaction and definitely proved its worth: Audi A4 AWD Turbocharged d('.'d).  While others had much trouble driving cautiously with front wheel drive cars or kept their rear wheel drive in the garage, I'm able to drive with the 4WD trucks and have a little fun in the slippery weather with the insurance of four wheels determined to maintain traction.
Obviously, I didn't drive all day in the snow, though.  I spent the remainder of the duration playing video games, doing homework, and watching movies with my girlfriend.  Two of which include a Denzel flick, Remember the Titans, and Blindside, a movie of epic proportions.  What did you do on your snow day off?
