Morning

Haven't seen you around Justin. Thought you moved on. Are you still working those crazy hours? Not stalking, but when I get my truck washed I drive by your place on the way home. My guess your sleeping.

Started coughing on Tuesday and Wednesday coughing and spitting up green crap. Nose blocked up and very little sleep. Got a flu shot this year so I can't have the flu or maybe I do. Hopefully it will pass. Drinking a lot of fluids and dosing off whenever I can.

Camper now stowed away for the season. Can't wait for spring.

Hannah definitely shared her lovely sickness with me. I'd stay home, but I just can't afford it.

Good morning John. No snow, but it's gotten colder. It's 19 degrees at the moment, going down to 8 tonight.

Morning

A little chilly out there this morning. Being under the weather doesn't help. I gave whatever this is to Kathy and she is not to appreciative for the gift. Going to spend the weekend in and veg out. Maybe this thing will go away.

Hope everyone is done shopping and home by the fireplace enjoying something sweet. If not good luck out there in the malls and shops.

Good morning everyone!

It's a balmy 6 degrees out right now, the coldest we've seen so far. It's not gonna last though. We figured out yesterday that my wife's Odyssey doesn't produce as much heat as we would like. My F150 will bake your fingers off if given the chance, but the Ody with its 170 degree thermostat feels lukewarm in comparison when it gets cold out.

Asked a warmer thermostat on an Odyssey forum last night and was told that I'm trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

Burr to cold for me. What's with the Odyssey forum? Do they live at the equator? lol Tom, I positive that with your knowledge of vehicles that you will come up with something. You know like put a Hemi in it or something.
