Truck said it was 45 when I went out to grab lunch. I believe it, felt a lot colder. Still could be a lot worse. After all Texas had a snow storm or something a couple of weeks ago right? It might be an interesting winter this year. Though currently it hasn't shaped up too bad.

Did anyone else see the snow flurries earlier this week. I thought I was seeing things when I went out to check the mail!

Did you guys mention snow? None down here, though the temperature is about right for snow.

I'm really tired of Winter already. I'm ready to get outside and start working on Ka'Bluey, getting that surface rust sanded off and finish off the bodywork I started on years ago. I had him rust and dent free, all but the right bed side, and top of the cab and was working to get him in paint when we found out we were moving for sure.

Me too. I need to find and install an intercooler on Big Red. Then put the new downpipe on that I've had for three years...

You've set on that down pipe for 3 years
I'm wanting to get duels on my 2011, but now I have my toy back so there went the exhaust on my 2011 F150.
And we're in the early talks about buying a house. It looks like we're staying in North Carolina So play money and I won't be seeing much of each other.

Yes. The downpipe was not a have to do. The factory pipe has a flat spot in it because it was easier and probably cheaper to make a flattened pipe than change the firewall on the turbo IDI's. The new banks pipe will let it breath easier. After that trip to OBX last summer I found out that it needs all the help it can get to keep the EGT's a little lower.
