Hoping things turn for the better for Hannah. Keep her warm in this cold weather.

Kathy told me we are expecting rain tonight. And coastal flooding. No ten below zero here Viking fans.

Just came back from buying 5 power ball tickets. So if you don't hear from me for a month or so, I'll be setting up my new way of life as a billionaire. LOL

I'll certainly be happy to watch the game in the warmth of my home.

Sorry about the DMV debacle. It never seems to fail.

Morning

Raining pretty heavy out there right now. If this was snow we would be buried.

No winner so that means I have to spent another $10 for 5 tickets again. A billion dollars is a lot of money. Maybe a new truck???

Cooking a small turkey today. yumm

All this rain looks like it will finally finish off the snow up here. Just in time for some more (snow) on Tuesday.

Morning

It's Monday. Went shopping Sunday and on the way home went to put the Defrost fan on and nothing, no fan. So this morning will check the fuses, resistor, and then work from there.

Insane, went out and started the truck and the heater blower worked. No idea why it didn't yesterday but it worked this morning.

Good morning everyone!

That's frustrating John! I'd much rather something fail completely so you can troubleshoot than an intermittent problem that will show up down the road.

-18° out here. Haven't seen this kind of cold in a few years.

The weather is just as bitter about the Vikings loss as the fans are I guess, Tom.

Hello all! I drove my pickup the other day and my horn doesn't work (again), so I'm with you guys on needing repairs. lol It's probably corrosion in the crimp connections, at least that's what it was last time.

Cheap diesel alert : $1.87 in Bristol at Citgo on Middle st.

Yeah, that is the only place I get fuel from any more. Plus it's cash/credit same price and have dedicated diesel pumps at the back that rarely have lines.
