It was freezing, cold and dry to the point that we had a grass fire and almost lost
a beach house. Sooo I wakes up this morning knowing it's warming up and thinking snow.
We got rain. The ground is froze and any ice on the gravel roads is so slick ya can't stand on it.
I have about a 50/60 mile round trip on all back dirt roads tomorrow to
go and get a sound system out of a wrecked Ranger in our storage yard. Oh what
fun this could be. My 14 year old son was given a car for his birthday. He don't have
any money for gas but wants to just sit in it and listen to his music. He plans to leave
the trickle charger on it to keep the battery up.

It's a 91 S10 Blazer thing. Looks pretty good so far. Front ends rattles
across the chuck holes and needs looked at before I let him go very far or very fast. Prolly Ball joints and shocks. he is learning with his 19 year old freind
to fix and work on it himself. I just line them out and help them get the right parts.
Than loan them the specialty tools until I find the left laying out.
He got his own medium Napa tool set for Christmas so he has the basics to
build on. Is really a nice travel set. The black case set for under a $100 bucks.
I find I use it as much or more than him.
It's a lot handier than the tool chests/box things I have mine in.

Just wanted to update everyone: We are forecast for up to 3" of the white crap today.
If this crud keeps up, I won't be able to drive my truck on unsalted roads until August!
