Good Saturday #3 evening Illinois and Ford Truck enthusiasts, Ken, Sean, Shaun, and John.

All of yesterdays white crap is gone, overnight the temperature rose to 40° with rain and washed it away.

On New Years Day we'll be getting close to a half of an inch of ice so the BS continues.

Howdy John.

Ice sucks big time.

The power company is warning people to stay away from downed power lines due to the heavy ice breaking power lines.

As long as I can keep my distance from the rebels I should be okay. They figure half of Canadians will have the vaccine by sometime in the summer but doubt very much I'll be one of them..
