Tim, thanks for the heads up! also, if we ever get that far out east in the great snow white we'll look you up. i can't say i'll take the truck that far for maintenance but good to know if the caca ever hits the fan out there.

45 degrees here in Fresno as I type this. Was able to find some muddy roads to splash around in today. Getting the Bronco warmed up for the Pismo trip. Figure I'll leave the mud on it for now, so everyone can see that this is one of the 2% of 4x4 vehicles that actually do go four wheeling. Read that in an Off-Road mag several years ago. Still find it hard to believe.

I hear ya Jim. Mine gets its share although I much rather would play in snow (unstoppable) than rocks an such. My wifes has only been used a few times. In fact I just bought a new set of tires for her last weekend, first set in 10 years!! Commute is 2 miles from home with no freeway and 2 stoplights.
Have a great week gang,,

TGIF Nor Cal FTE! The weekend is almost here! Hope everyone has a great one.

Bdpotts, I called the Oceano Dunes District Office and asked them if dogs are allowed in the park. They said they were, but that they had to remain on a leash no longer than 6 feet at all times.

Boy, Kaepernick sure kept the GB defense confused by mixing in all that running he did. Good game... For 49'r fans anyway.
