Your truck looks good Tim! The 18 yr old grandson and myself washed both the truck and the wifes car today. Temps were in the upper 60's and sunny for a change.
Truck looks like it's stretched!! Wife's Highlander Everyone in the neighborhood washed their vehicles today after the month of rain we had.
Lots to catch up on with me being gone for 4 days.
Trent Get better.
Too many clean vehicles. Mine is filthy right now.
As I left Thursday morning it was 5°F, as I passed through Mono Utah it dropped to 0°. I kept the windows closed on the horse trailer.
By time I got to St George Utah it was mid 40s
we had a great time riding for 3 days on mostly blue skies.
A lady asked me to haul two extra horses home and drop them off about 30 miles out of my way. They paid me $200 so it pretty much covered all my fuel for the trip.
The Legion tires worked well. I watched their pressure on the dash. Fronts started at 65 psi and rose to 70-71 as they warmed up on the drive. Backs started at 72 psi and rose to 80 psi. I was a bit nervous about that and let some air out, dropping them to 78 psi for the trip home. I'm afraid they would climb a whole lot higher in summer temps. With 4 horses ( one American Cream Draft) I'm sure I was over 13,000 lbs on the trailer. I'm sure I was over weight for those tires. But they ran great. I didn't loose any mpg vs the Toyo I took off. I'll have to put the Lazer temp reader in the truck and as summer comes, take temp readings and make sure they don't get too hot.
A lot nicer weather than the 5° and 6" of snow at home
On a side note, My Airlift Compressor has stopped working again. I'll have to crawl under the truck and pull it to see why.
The system is holding air, but the compressor will not run to add pressure.
So either I've not getting power to compressor or it has died again. This is the 3rd one in less than a year. 1st had a screw com loose and damage the guts, 2nd seemed to have gotten water inside and was locked up.

I have my compressor in the tool box in the bed of the truck...........
Thx for the kind words about the puppy, she's a bundle of fun for sure
I don't agree with my son about having a dog in a 7th floor apartment but that's not my call,
Jon, I have a Viair compressor & its in the box on my truck, no problems,
any pics of the Heavy House that you can share yet ????
nice clean trucks guys,
Tim good luck with the knee op,
I'm back in the school bus this am after 2 wks off, have a great week truckers
I just got a text from the bus garage & all school buses are cancelled today because of a heavy snowfall warning,
so I get the day off but I'd rather drive the bus than plow, shovel & blow snow all day, ugh
That's quite a bit of the fluffy stuff on your roof and yard, but the driveway looks like you've put some effort into it! If it makes you feel any better, my yard and pasture are still under water. I can't shovel it off either.
Thx Doug, yes I suppose that does make me feel better, plus 'they' say the crisp cold Canadian air is good for us, thx for cheering me up buddy ..... I think I'll go have a nap now
We can't even pick a season and stick with it down here Gerry. I switched the a/c back on before I left for work this morning, because I woke up hot. When the clock goes off at 1:20a for work, I'm already getting shorted on sleep. Waking up in the middle of the night because I'm sweating is just getting robbed.
