Maxlife ATF in the Tranny and Transfer case. Gonna have RotellaT 5w40 in the motor when I come up. New thermostat, anti-freeze is good to -30*. I believe the truck is about ready.

I wonder if that saw would do a better job thatn my Stihl 076, 029 or 024. Didn't look like it had a very ong bar on it though but it had a large motor. probably have to mount it to a front end loader to cut with it.

The Farmers Almanac doesnt say much about a winter wonderland.
November 2004
1st-3rd. Sun, then clouds. 4th-7th. Rain, then clear, frosty. 8th-11th. Rapid temperature changes Great Lakes to Atlantic Coast. An intensifying storm moving east produces heavy dose rain/wet snow. Frigidly cold. 12th-15th. New storm moves toward Great Lakes, up into eastern Canada. Heavy rain/wet snow near, along storm track. Then clearing, cold. 16th-19th.Very cold air. Fast-moving storm reaching Lakes region provides heavy snow, then colder. 20th-23rd. Very warm air from Gulf of Mexico mixed with cold Canadian air brings rain, thunderstorms, especially Great Lakes. 24th-27th. Wet Thanksgiving. 28th-30th. Few rain/wet snow showers. Colder.
December 2004
1st-3rd. Rain/wet snow shifts east into the Great Lakes, points south to Kentucky. 4th-7th. Storm from Texas moves up to Ohio River Valley, depositing heavy rain, wet snow. Very cold. 8th-11th. A “winterlude” before next bout of wintry weather. Temperatures still well below seasonal norm. 12th-15th. Heavy snow, Great Lakes and all points east. 16th-19th. Another “wintermission” before next round of storms. Considerable cloud cover, but little precipitation. Nights seasonably cold; days milder. 20th-23rd. Rain/snow, then bitterly cold. 24th-27th. Sunshine, cold, dry. 28th-31st. Cold, dry.

I have a neigbor that reads that thing like a religion and from what they say it's usualy pretty accurate. I always tend to think that if you have a bad hay crop in a year that you'll hae a hellacious winter, just always seems to work that way, hard winters and no hay seem to go hand in hand.
