well today SUCKED.

to add to the suckiness vw didnt have my parts yet so i am on hold for that POS. although, not having to work on that is probably not a bad thing.

i am going to attempt making a batch of turnip and mustard cream soup. it sounds weird as hell but its really good, at least it SHOULD be really good...i cannot guarantee my results will match a chef's.

NOM NOM NOM !!! MORE SNOW!!!! NOM NOM NOM!!



Just finished clearing and pushing back piles at my parent's, and pushed back the piles in my driveway. I also ordered some Whelen L32 LED beacons and some ROPS brackets for them, so I can be out in the street with some peace-of-mind. I have to push the piles at the street, from the street. I can't see anything pulling out in the car, and after this storm, probably the truck too.

Those photos are getting around.

That is the easy way to change a power assembly on a FDL.

GE's are know for doing that. Most of the time its just a dent in the hood.

grizzly's have a pretty good rep. i would love to have a 4x4 trail monster but...the Z is pretty good at keeping my fun fund dry.

Decided I won't be driving in to work for the next few days so I put the plow on and parked the truck in the car port. Bring on the snow.
