All washed up

Sure is a good feeling to see the big blue dually all shiny and clean again. Been too busy and too dang cold to clean er up. At least there weren't any bugs on the front end this time.

Ever notice how annoyed others get when they think you're takin too long to wash your buggy. They get inpatient and move to another stall. Guess they just don't understand the pride a man takes in cleanin up his truck.

Oh well, at least the road salt is off for awhile. It was a good time to check the hubs. http://images.ford-trucks.com/forums...cons/icon7.gif

LOL, great picture! That truck looks completely at home in the harsh environment. Ready to shake off the snow and get to work. Yeah.

Is that up to the grill? Or is the angle playing tricks on me?

Not quite up to the grill in that location due to the wind.

10 feet in front of the truck though I had 36-40" in my driveway.
Average for my town was about 30" with up to 6' drifts. I had 5' drifts in my back yard

Is kinda neat. That is a crop of a larger picture.
If I had realized it would look something like that I would have done a better job.

It would look better if is was a little darker outside and you hit the remote start and she was lit up. Cool pic either way!

Hey, that's awful nice of ya. That's the neat thing about this forum, somebody's always willing to help out. I'm workin night shifts this week, but Ill try to get something put together.

Going to have to drive the dually to work tonite. Too much snow and way too cold to drive the work car, a 1990 Ford Festiva. 45 plus miles per gallon but not much protection and no heated seats. He He He. So the big blue dually will get all dirty again.

Love the picture of the hibernating giant.

Epic, I like your perspective of things. And your videos. Keep em coming man.
