January BS Thread

Welcome visitors to the monthly Mississippi Chapter BS Thread... where we mostly discuss the vagaries of our weather.
If you are a MS Ford truck (any year, vintage) owner, please say hello & especially if you are interested in having the coveted chapter membership added to your FTE status.
If you're in a neighboring state/region or just like us, please feel free to join in & post.

We love projects. We love pictures of projects. If you know of a automotive event close by that may have slipped our notice, please tell us about it.
If you're out & about in the state, say where & when & we can do IRL for a cup of coffee or cool beverage. If you need advice/info/helping hand, speak up & we'll give it a shot.


Welcome to 24. Whether you like it or not....

Bout only thing I can say I'm looking forward to this year, is mine & Terri's 20th.

And warmer weather.

Good luck & may God bless all y'all.

Had a small success with the bringing my truck back to life efforts.

Take your victories where you find em'.

Waiting on ice & frozen precipitation in a land that does not deal well with ice & frozen precipitation.

Good luck to us all.

We usually need it.

Me too, I suppose. But I've always preferred this extreme, over heat.

I suspect that with so much dead wood trees, limbs & weakened root systems from the drought that electrical loss will be great if there is even marginal accumulation.

Snow is just an annoyance round here. Ice really #^@%$ things up.

One good thing this weekend, Thomas helped me tremendously getting a tune loaded, hood back on & several steps forward with my truck.

All was not perfect, but it got out of the shop under its own power & pretty smoothly.

Idles better than anytime of ownership.

Good luck with the new week, y'all.
