Beautiful photos David.
Sorry you got the crud Dustin. Probably smart to stay home. I'm working from home as I didn't want to deal with nutty drivers.
Glad you got some donut practice in Larry.
Happy Friday to you as well James.
Y'all have a good weekend.

Did you hear there is a new Ice Road Trucker season coming out? This one will be based in Chatham County of HWY 64 around Pittsboro, it will include episodes of small foreign RWD luxury cars speeding down the ice and watching them slide everywhere.

We rode to town last night to grab some dinner. It had already started freezing back up by 6 and was slick as crap. Guess we gotta ride to Morehead in the AM to pick a few things up. We didn't even leave the house today, I barely left the couch.

I haven't driven the Ex all week and she has been sitting outside. I fueled at the Siler City Circle K last weekend, they handle a lot of OTR trucks. I need to drive it this weekend, do you think the diesel fuel may be gelled or has everybody been ok?

Thanks. Just curious, how far South do they treat fuel? I have had the Ex for 8 years and I don't remember this long a cold spell.
I am going to plug her in for a few hours and fire up and let her run, if there is a problem the driveway is the best place for it to happen.

Well flight made it in last night with no issues. Came down 40 and 401. I left a cup of coffee in the truck and it was frozen solid, but the roads I hit were fine. Sorry I missed all the weather. It was 50 degree's in Salt Lake City when I left. The dash said 15 when I arrived here around midnight.
Built a fire this morning and have been lounging around drinking coffee most of the morning.
Sorry I missed all the... fun weather.
Hope everyone has been doing fine.

you must be lucky enough to get the winter diesel where your at... other areas arent so lucky... summer diesel starts to cloud at 32*... 15-20 is when it starts to gel... winter diesel goes a bit further.. but the older diesels didnt clog as easy as the newer ones do....
