The snow is apparently in Not Here and I heard the sledding is unreal.

Yep. Darren, even the weather knows the difference between the US and Canada...

I might ahve to try one of those chinese knock off LED lights - if Andre says his works well. Pretty darn dark out and the stupid water on the road kicks up dirt onto my headlights... Extra lights wouldn't be a bad idea.

I wanted something now and I have a pile to save for my lift, wheels and tires. A compromise had to be made. I have 6 people that I know personally that have ordered from here. The lights came in about a week. All have worked and still working. One is 2 years old. The rest are around a year or so.

I've also had weird results in Miami as well -- as they say no two El Nino's are alike and one stronger than any of them in history means it is going to be hard to predict the weather. So who knows...

We already got more snow than all of winter last year too.
Weatherman is the only job where you can be consistently wrong and still get to go to work every day

Andre - Nothing wrong with that. I get it. I do as little as I can get away with on modifying my vehicle.... I can't even afford to lift and tires. Heck, I really can't afford to even do winter and summer tires. Next round I will get Duratracs and just not stud them.

Steve- YUP... So true...

I finally got a replacement laptop/desktop computer. I've only put that off for 3 years, but it is as the point I barely have a working computer.

Gerry - Scary but I can remember working on one of those... And that one has been upgraded. It doesn't have the 8" floppy anymore and the hard drive looks to be upgraded too. Probably a 20MB unit instead of the old 10MB. Although still looks like an MFM drive.

Here is the one I ordered: https://www.asus.com/us/Notebooks/ASUS_ROG_G751JT/

Core i7, 24GB of memory, 1 TB HD, 3 GB of video Ram.... I don't really game anymore, but the gaming laptops have good video cards in them and usually better cooling. Although here I can just walk outside for a minute...

Good evening fellas! Dak, congrats on the new computer. Just had to rebuild mine after a HD crash I don't like messing with these things!
Andre, the lights look great. Let's just hope you don't need to be pulled from the front I understand though. I had a useless grill guard on the front of my X for years that made the tow hooks useless.
I love the weather pattern forecast. The only occupation, other than the prez here you can go on tv and be totally wrong a great deal of the time and still make 6 figures
You guys/gals have a great Thanksgiving and if you are traveling, please be careful. You all have a blessed holiday. This will be the first holiday season without any of my grandparents. They used to make it so special.

I have a strap that I can put around the frame. It will come right through the lower hole in the bumper. I think I'll be ok. If not,

Andre'......The front tow hooks are for a F-150 to pull you out of the 1 ft snow bank that you will get stuck in.
