Remember that East of Harrison the snow tapers off in most cases. However thats not always the case best to play it safe and prepare for the worst have a safe trip.

no reason to lock the hubs pat.

They put so much salt on the road that you have to stop at every car wash.

I agree with the East of Harrison, I can remember many years of driving up just to see the snow, and not really see until we got to the Michigan Welcome Center there in I-27. But since we will be moving North of, remaining still to the East, I didnt know if this area was part of our snow belt.

You have a point, I should also just save some time and chiesl the wheel wells out, instead of letting the salt do it for me.

West Branch had lost their power, they called at about 2:30 to request us not to come, since it was going to be such a long drive. They couldnt be sure that the power would be back on by 8:00 whe were to be there.

Yes, I'm still in for the days events. I requested that day off along with the following Saturday for KID ROCK.


As much as I like the snow, you guys up north can keep all of it. I just like the dusting.

Out of the people that are going who is good at photography? If no one, I can try and get my stepfather to join us.

My cell phone is scheduled to be shut off tonight.

....

So...
Unless a miracle happens in the next 20 days.
I'm going to try swimming to Europe.
And if I drown. Sorry guys. I'll miss you all.
hahahaha

(what i'm trying to say is, I have a better chance of making it to Europe than paying my bills)

As for photography....
I think I'm the only one here who actually does it.
Though, Mark is good at taking pictures.
I'd tell you that you could look at them, but you'll have to go find the thread where they are posted, because george thought it more important to pack those away than to let members see that we get together and have a great time.

Somebody deleted our first meetup post with pictures too. I don't think that was george though. No idea why that thread disappeared.


So, I'm the only one with those pictures and the other ones if they got deleted or removed because my supporter account got canceled.

Now I'm off to town to donate this huge bag of toys to toys for tots.
And hope that somebody calls me for some work sometime soon.


Guy wants me to put in a chimney over by you John, Do you have a cement mixer I can borrow to mix the mortar?

Actually, PM me your number so we can exchange numbers, we live close, no reason to not be able to rely on each other for other things than truck stuff.

Morning everyone. Driving to the Soo right now. Actually I'm riding as I will be the one doing the work once we get there. Roads are clear and dry.
Some big thanks to Pat(Just another Truck) and Tim(Capital Customs)for helping me to get my '05 conversion started. Can't wait to have some decent headlights!
