sombody has bad eyes i can read it :-p haha
"krylon outdoor space textured finish". the color was a hard one to match. so i took the trailer ball plug off the rear bumper in the store with me to find the best match.
so last night i installed my 15" sub and 800w amp. finally got my bass back! i'm sure glad i had it strapped down when i had my bad wreck with the '00 even though it was strapped it did move and break a few things around it but didnt come flying forword thank god.
my other little projects are rear and side facing AUX lighting. more on this later after i come up with mouting..ect going for a hidden look

AK; The statistics say you get about 85" of snow per year, does that seem right?, not to me because we get 103" per year (and not on the mountain). I went to Fairbanks one time in january and it was great.

i think anchorage sees around 70-100" normaly...ofcourse we have off years. the differance between us and the lower 48 is that snow pack stays...it doesnt snow then melt off. so it really builds up. the other thing is the snow totals range so much just in anchorage. like this last storm...some parts of town only got 4" others got 10" just depends what part of the city you live in.
fairbanks sees much less snow as they are in the interior of the state which is much dryer then the coastal(sp) areas like anchorage. but we have much more mild temps..it stays below freezing but the coldest i've ever seen it here is -30 and thats somewhat rare.

What is your self employed job that you do?
I can relate, I have been unemployed since Christmas. Just enjoying life at home with the kids. The only draw back is I have too much time to look at and search for new mods. It's a good thing that my tax return is going to be decent again this yr.
