RE: My Actifit Report Card: August 6 2019
I'm guilty of using rock salt on the ice I also use ice melt and sand. My son puts it down very heavy to make it safe for me. I now have ankles of steel as a result of slipping on ice and breaking my ankles. (two different incidents)
Oh gosh, that is terrible! I mean the breaks. For the salt, the naturalist held up a small drinking cup, about 8 ounces, and said all you need is four of those to cover a driveway. Maybe you can share that with your son. 😁
I’m going to buy Treks or Yaktrax for this coming winter. My job involves a ton of writing and I definitely can’t afford to break a wrist!

He mixes the salt with the sand. Hopefully, I will remember to mention it to him when the first snow falls. I have a TRAXX from LLBean that are great.
I slipped on black ice both times. The first time was getting into the hot tub. But, I didn't spill the bottle of champagne! The other time was on the back stairs as I was going to put gas in the snowblower. That one got me out of shoveling in 2015 when Boston was buried in record snow.
