Well hello everyone, last night was fun all except for blowing an intercooler boot shortly after leaving Mike's. The clamp holding it broke right in 2 pieces. Short stop at menards for some tools and a makeshift clamp and we were back on the road.

Mike I have your phone charger in my truck. If you are going to be home tomorrow I will run it up since I will be heading to bring the camper down to the dealer probably anyway.

Afternoon guys. We only got about 6" of snow so I did not try out sled. Sounds like you guys had an interesting evening.

Correct. Actually thinking I should get a hitch that pivots side to side too. The one I have is only front to back.
Well that is good!

Why would you need a hitch that would pivot that much? With a long box yours should be able to 90* that thing if need be. Make sure your tailgate is up before you try! With my shortbox and a non movable hitch I haven't been to a place yet I couldn't get into.

At least it was an easy fix!

Well, I took Mason on a ride today around the yard. Kinda like Tom's episode, the snow is wet a squishy. LOL!

I think we might be done for the year. DANG!

There is another product called startron that I might try.
I have a shed I store mine in also. I have always put Stabil or Sea Foam in my gas engines before storage and have never had a problem either. Just wondering cause I hear people fogging them before summer. I will just give it a try and see. Worst case scenario I have to rebuild carbs next winter, if we get one next year.

Especially with the 40's and maybe 50's coming up next week. It is a bummer to not get this snow until this late in the season.
