Finally got back on grid Tuesday evening...after spending another $60 on gas for the generators of course.

Nice Mike.
You keep the 7.3? Or was there a suitcase full of cash in the back seat to trade it in?

I dont need a 1-ton nor a snow plow down here, diesel is goofy expensive, so I let it go. (in Michigan) I thought $5k was fair. Bought the 150 down here, never seen winter, $22k which I also thought was fair. Deal done.

That would have been nice. No long story short found out I have blood clots in my lungs, all the symptoms leading to it kinda felt like I was having a mild heart attack. All better now and back at work today.

I know where they came from. You can't get clots unless you let blood into your alcohol system. Glad that you are okay my friend.
