(not that there's a lot of work out there anyhow)

AND, my GF is starting to make the 'I want a baby' speech more and more often...
I think I might have to cut her off, her tactics are difficult to deny.


Lol

Frozen cylinder.
A couple of drops of winter air tool oil should help.
Insert tip of key, apply oil to key, run in and out, repeat.

You can heat the key with a lighter or torch, but it will re freeze unless you keep metal from forming frost..

I basically never lock my truck in the winter. There are way too many chances something in there is going to freeze on my truck. It is nowhere near weather tight! haha.

Well, another exciting day stuck alone at the office...oh joy.

Hey Andy and the rest of CT

I just arrived in VT. Roads were a little icy and still snow covered a bit. At the store I heard they are calling for -15 up here tomorrow night. My mpg has also seemed to go back up a little, I made it to 150 miles on half a tank
