Good Afternoon 1 pagers. Although still morning here.
Nice days are here for awhile it seems and even the temps are crept up a little more. Now they are not getting much below freezing at night.
My neighbor jinxed it by summerizing all his sleds, so now it will snow 1 foot later on.
Glad you had Don.
Tim, nice shot of the truck. Looks nice and clean. Wish mine was that clean
Iowa Tim - When do the counter tops come in?
Roy - Have fun, I did those parties too. If you went as the clown you wouldn't have to change clothes though. Wouldn't that be easier?

I got black this time because of the temps up here, black is hotter tempwise and for once in my life that is a good thing. Also, because it stands out in the winter when I keep it clean. White and silver tend to blend in. Silver is way worse. (Not meant to offend anyone with a silver vehicle)

Had a black truck when I lived on a gravel road. Never again. I could wash it at the house and it would look horrible before I got to the next sideroad, especially in the spring, then it looked like a black and tan. Thankfully it was stolen
Here's what a mile and a half of wet sideroads did to my bike. I rode with my legs hooked up on the tank.

No color is the perfect answer. My wife has a white car which was good for Florida. It looks horrible in the winter up here too...
Yeah, black is probably more a PITA. But since the truck sits outside, it helps absorb heat and melt snow. Her white car wasn't doing that as well.
I am at the point of really not caring about how it looks on the outside. I wash it when I can and then I wax it so when I wash it, it is a little easier. Sometimes just a hose washing works.
I'll have to dig out my pictures of the vehicles totall covered in mud driving and that is just driving around here - not going or trying to go off road. The mud gets so thick you can't even read the license plates.

Get ready for all of you that are thinking of removing DPFs and rolling coal. Even if that isn't your intent....

Alot of them were definitely products of today's public education. On a serious note, anything the libs can do to make more money, has nothing to do with the environment. And you have the azz bags that make video's of "rolling coal" to thank for this latest **** proposal.

I saw that earlier, did you read any of the comments? Alot of them were definitely products of today's public education.

The comments are hilarious.... And the graphics posted are not safe for work (or this blog).

People turning powerstrokes into powersmokes will be the end of it...
I won't sell off your old exhaust stuff just yet.
One comment made sense in that the older diesel do tend to roll coal at times so they will be the target of getting stopped all the time...

Older diesels will smoke until the turbo catches up to the fuel. They should be exempt. The rest of the idiots who roll coal and think its funny, you can blame legislation like this on them.
A 2007 6.0 does not roll coal unless its super cold and therefore nothing newer should have visible smoke either.
