Hi Lee.


Vegas is OK if you like to gamble, guess there are some sights to see too.


Maybe Florida, or California?

Evening Lee!! Vegas sounds like a good time to me and then rent a nice convertible and go cruising! The 5ver would be nice but you would have a long trip to get warm!

Hey Lee. I would offer you the house in Phoenix but the renters are still there
Thanks Jay if it would have worked.

Vegas is rather reasonable. I can leave Tues and return a week later and stay at Circus Circus and get a Focus to drive for $800. I am not a big gambeler but have never been there and would probably take a drive around the Grand Canyon.

I have an extra CPS if need be but can they be affected by the cold like that and it wasn't that cold????
Cold should have no effect on the CPS. Wonder if there is moisture getting in to some connection somewhere, maybe the CPS harness. Is the GPR good?

Yeah, it sure went quick. I checked the snow report when we got home Sunday, Burnett county trails were closed, but Polk county were listed as excellent. By Monday, Polk county trails were closed too. Only 4 counties left in the state(WI) that have "good" trail conditions.

If you drive to the canyon check the weather report. It is usually really cold this time of year

That sounds like a good plan. We never made it as far south as the Grand Canyon last time out there. We did go to the Hoover Dam though, too bad the tours were shut down by then. There are a lot of different sights to see out there, you could always make a few hour trip west and see LA LA land too..........

Yeah I think it is good. When it cranks there is no smoke out the tailpipe. You would think if it was bad it still would have started at 35* out?

I would think if the gpr weren't working it would smoke quite a bit and it should at least fire some at that temperature
