Happy new year everyone!

Pat, it has at least warmed up a little for the start of the year... Looks like we may get a pretty good dump of snow over the weekend over this way.

How's the weather up there, guys? It was a nice, balmy 60 degrees here today.

... unfortunately, I come back to Iowa next week.

Wasn't too bad for today, and they are backing down on how bad the snow storm is supposed to be....

Good morning Iowa! Roger, it's too damn cold! High today is supposed to be zero. Wind chills in the -20 to -30 range. They even cancelled school today!! Yep, I'm ready for summer!

I'm definitely not digging this cold crap. When I left Florida yesterday, it was still averaging 50 outside. Ugggggh... and back to work outside tomorrow, yay.

On a good note, I got me a nice new water pump and remote coolant filter system in the mail. That will make a nice addition to my list of mods on my 7.3 OBS.

Damned cold weather indeed. It's just a bad week for me... I just got laid off today. At least it gives me a reason to stay out of the cold though. Wish I would have known it was coming though; I would have just stayed in Florida with my wife and kids.
