Snow in Redding is crazy... Yreka got 4-5 inches. I'm an hour to the West and we got close to 8".

Yuck. I was supposed to go over the Siskiyous today. Destined to postpone that for tomorrow.

Well, the rain happened before I got up, so that was cool. The day was crystal clear, if not a bit too cold. Did some fall cleaning, and now I have room for that Ferrari I am asking Santa for. LOL.

Filled up the tanks on both F350 and Bronco yesterday and I am very disappointed, the Bronco is getting worse mpg than the F350. 
7.9 for the Bronco, and 8.4 for the F350. I have not towed anything with the F350 lately, so I am surprised it is in the 8's, but the Bronco's 7.9 is a real shocker, as it usually gets 11 mpg. Will have to have my mechanic check it out after he fixes the caliper on the XJ-S.
No snow here, just a wee bit of rain yesterday. No clouds in the sky today, but I can see the window on the Bronco is iced over.

Jim, just reading your posts above. Have you put any of those flip cars up for sell yet? I know you were waiting on parts and such, just curious.
Feel like baking some cookies

Hank, I have two of the cars up for sale, the black Jaguar XJ-S, and the VW Jetta VR6. However, still no buyers. A few nibbles on the Jetta, but nothing serious. Going to pick up a 2002 Mitsubishi Galant this week for back fees, and put it up for sale for $3,000 and see what happens. It is in excellent condition, and will only cost me $563.
