Well it's about time!!!!

I bought my winter boots for work 2 weeks ago. Damn near had heat blisters last week. At our toolbox meeting I reminded everyone that we still had fire weather. We can't relax just because it's not August.

As much as the snow cramps my wrench time, I sure am glad to see it.

How dry has it been where you live?

We got a few inches in Elizabeth over the holiday weekend, but the high winds made it worse. Lots of snowpack and ice. And the fact that when it snows, alot of people forget how to drive. I had to plow my driveway twice over the weekend. But..no biggie.....usually afterwards, (I use an ATV with a plow), I go ripping around the roads playing in the snow.

Well here it comes again!!
Lets see just how much we get between today and tomorrow. Gawd I really need new tires for my truck. I have about 1/8 inch tread front and back...just can't spare the $900 for a new set. So I keep shopping on Craig's List. I'll find some...eventually.

I so wish I had to spend $900 on tires that I couldn't afford to spend. Just picked up the truck yesterday from the shop after spending $2,000 on Nitto Mudders...that I couldn't afford to spend. Thank God for credit cards!

Holy crap, unless those are some monster tires you have, I hope you got rims with them for that price!

No...but it was because of the rims they were so much...

Tires are 37/12.5/20"

Big O on Parker Road.

It must be a tire thing for me today. Blew a Toyo on the H2 on I70 today running over some metal debris. Thank GOD the tire was covered under warranty.

Credit cards just get me in trouble.....or at least the wife. I hide em until they are really needed.

$2K? Holy crap! No thanks! I'll keep mine stock.
