Good Morning all you early risers. It was cold taking the dog out this morning. I show 3* here. I am usually fine with more snow, but I would have liked to get rid of even a little of what we already have. If we get anything substantial they aren't going to have anywhere to put it. All the parking lots I deal with are already hurting for room.

my extremely accurate biological thermometer says -100*f. i just put a fresh propane bottle on the garage heater and have it running on double rabbit. i have a lot of VW parts to sort through and begin reassembly.

thanks for all the well wishes, i think i am going out to boston tonight, although i dont think they will let her wake up today. the docs said she is "stable"...not sure if thats good or just a positive way of saying no change?

Got a text from my brother today that a guy in PA near my grandparent's is trying to sell his '88 f150 for $700 before he goes to basic training. If I wasn't paying for an EMT class, I would be seriously considering it. Instead, I am trying to get my buddy to buy it. His parent's are still in that area and has been talking about wanting a beater truck for when he is home. It's an 88 f150 with a 302, 5speed, "new" axles(waiting on clarification of that), new clutch, 3 inch(body) lift, and 35's.

Well Miles, in my experience...Obey your father, haha. You will be much happier. There will be plenty more gtg's you can come to. That being said, you will be missed.

Josiah that sounds like a good deal from here, a lot better than the chevy POS that a local stealership is trying to sell for $2500 a '77 3/4 ton rust bucket with a plow.
