I am with Travis and Chris(F350-6).I would rather have 100 degrees and sweat pouring off of me than this crap.Makes the beer better here when it is hot!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't care what they say about dry cold wet cold,it is damn cold here at 10 degrees and 25 mph wind.I have been out in it all day 3 days trying to keep a chemical plant running and we are about to lose the battle.
COME ON SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be on my way to your fair, warm state next week. Compared with what we just went through, anything even near the freezing mark will be awesome. The kids and I have decided that if the daytime highs get to the mid 50's we're going swimming in the gulf.

haha. Ok, we have 2 Chris' in this thread. I was refering to F350-6. He is also Chris. LOL.
Just changed the GPR. Glow plugs work great now. Guess we will see what happens tomorrow morning. As usual, while fixing that, I found another problem. Fuel leak!!! If there is one thing I hate, it's leaks. I have a hard time tolerating leaks. It's the rubber push-loc feed line. It's dry cracked all the way down.. Fuel system has only been run for about 35k miles..

I feel for you guys up north. Some of you have it rough. It's pretty dang frigid in Albuquerque too lately. -10 or so last couple nights with lots of wind. It's about 3 now, wind is gone and might get to 20 today. We should see mid 40s (normal) by the weekend. I don't usually drive the Stroker to work. She's tucked in the garage. I drove the Bronco to work 2 days this week due to snow. Now the roads are clear and it's just plain cold so I'm back to the Stang. I'm getting ready to head to the grocery store at lunch to get some pork ribs for the game Sunday. I don't think I'll have to worry about them getting too warm in the car this afternoon. Hang in there ya'll!!
BTW I guess I'm the 3rd Chris in this thread!

I'm going to talk to the recruiter again. I would MUCH rather be back at home in an engine room with a screaming steam turbine under me for a butt warmer. Normal temp down in the hole on the ships I was on was 130 up in the vents. We cooked steaks on the deckplates sometimes. That is my kind of heat! And what I love.

This morning went quite a bit easier. LOL. Was only 18* this morning, but the truck liked it much better.
