Quite a bit of snow out there today! No trouble in the truck though.

Wow - fun commute this morning. There's still lumpy ice on the Interstates.
I had a chunk of ice stuck in my left front wheel that made me think I had the "Death Wobble" when I got up to about 45 mph. Took about two or three miles of severely shuddering steering wheel before it finally broke loose and the truck regained its highway manners.

Secondary roads look like scenes from Ice Road Truckers. Just kept it in 4x4 when I wasn't on the highway.

Glad you got the truck out and about, Justin. I've been pretty excited to finally have some snow to enjoy. Aside from the shoveling, that is.

So, how was everyone's retail holiday? Did everyone give or get chocolate? Who is single and escaped the madness? Did any of y'all hit up Tinder? Get Drunk? Anything?

I didn't do anything. With things being a bit rocky over the past few months, just didn't bother. We went to dinner last weekend. That sufficed.

​​​​​In other news, I am going to start doing side work so that I can afford things. Hopefully a "new" truck in the next few months. Been way too long putting it off. Tired of it.

Stopped at the florist on the way home and got roses for Ma and Julia.

What happened to the grey truck you got back in the summer, Josiah?

I still have it, and drive it pretty regularly. I would just like a more family friendly truck.

I keep wanting to upgrade to a Super Cab for hauling the two Newf's, but the cost is so high I would have to win the lottery.

But I can't complain about the F250 is running strong. Knock on wood.

Ahh yes, I understand. That's why I got the van. Driving home yesterday the exhaust seemed really loud, the pipe rusted out just behind the muffler. Ugh, ordered more pipe and flanges to fix it. It seems like yesterday when I put the system in but looking at the pics it was 5 years ago, time flies.
