Morning, hoping everyone had a good New Years. GTG Brendon brought up. Do we have any suggestions?

Hey from Fort Kent, Maine. They have a lot of snow. When I get back into town, I will start a new thread discussing GTG options.

Wow that's a lot of snow. I was around Kittery to Kennebunkport and there was about 3 or 4 inches at most. The temperature was hovering around 16 to 20 degrees from lunch till diner. (6)

Trying to find a good place to eat diner was a little bit of a chore going up route 1. Seems this was the week that the restaurants close for vacation.

Seems as though somebody has upgraded their chariot.

It might be new, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with calling it an upgrade just yet. Towing a 3000 lb snowmobile trailer to Maine getting 7.6 mpg with less power than I am used to wasn't my cup of tea. It did cost less, and fuel can be had at any fuel station, and I didn't have to treat my fuel, add urea, yell at Prius's for blocking the diesel dispenser in a sea of empty gasoline dispensers, and get smelly fuel oil all over my hands. I guess that is a plus. Plenty of power around town though. I think the 7.3 will go on the shorter, warmer Vermont trips, to keep my sanity and feed my ego.
