Good advice - Although I bet Roy bet the paramedics to the hospital in JGG by 15 minutes or so...

Hey Monty - Did you try lubing your shaft up before sticking it in this time? Did that work out better for you? Or are you going to have to get another extension so it will fit right?

YES SIR !!!

I do agree.......we be careful.........

At least my health insurance (Military TriCare) covers Health stuff and doesn't blame it on the truck or the house.........

Howdy fellas. I made homemade eggnog today. I found that wearing socks while drinking it is a waste of time as it keeps knocking them off! Pretty good stuff - if I do say so myself. I used a 90 proof coconut rum to give it a bite, without an overwhelming flavor.

Roy - I'm happy to hear that Lynn is feeling better!

Well I feel pretty stoopid. I decided to get the 91 gal. aux. tank. It was delivered last night and I expected it to show up in a box....nope. The tank was scratched and dented, and the fill cap was snapped almost completely off. I finished the job of breaking it in half when I tried to twist it off. I should'a known better, shipping something that big via UPS right before Christmas was a mistake.


The pic makes it look gooder. I printed the return label and it's headed back to Amazon for a refund.

I'll catch up later.
Have a good evening guys.

OUCH Gavin - that stinks.

Roy how did you your tank arrive?

Bought an extended warranty today... a small one 6/60k $0 ded. with enhanced rental coverage... (Only cause the rental coverage was cheap). This should ensure that the truck rarely sees the dealer.

Hit +10F today... But no snow in sight.

Hm. I bought one from Amazon too. It was boxed when it arrived. The fill cap was still broken. The tank also didn't fit, so good to be able to send it back.

Dak, How many hours does the sun shine up there? Only a few more days until we turn around and head the other way.

That's a tricky question. Where I am, the official sunrise is 10:14am and the sunset is 3:34pm. Fairbanks is worse and in Barrow, the sun never rises. Juneau gets more sun if you go further South. The State reaches from Texas to the Canada US border if you super-impose it ontop of the lower 48.

FWIW, It's twlight for about a hour longer on each end... And for DAYS in a row it is so cloudy and foggy it doesn't get much brighter than twilight out. Let's put it this way, some days for the entire day the auto headlights never turn "off".

Yep - Dec. 21st we turn around.


FWIW, the dark hasn't bothered me as much as I thought it could.

This probably would bother me though:

Loose nut behind the wheel.

It was a bad connection at the fuse box I believe, but I don't recall specifics .
