Anybody have trouble starting their truck? It's a slow crank, but she keeps startin'. Wouldn't suprise me to have to get a new battery before the end of the week. My battery is original to truck and its 2000.

To bad I don't have the snorkel on it yet.

Yep! Good camping weather for sure. Just 
. Went out just before 5:00 PM for a seegar. Was kind of nice. Wind blew my hood up but I didn't need to button up.
I've been caught in a snow shower or two out in Colorado and Utah. More than likely I'll see a few more.

It's not bad if you sleep in your truck. I just stay in the truck and listen to music or play on the computer or read a book for a few hours and hit the sleeping bag early.
Can be a little trouble if you have to set up a tent in the middle of a thunder storm. Not a lot of fun in a bad snow storm either.
Kind of fun though to set in the truck and fix something to eat then make out the bed while you watch others scramble out in the weather. And then you can talk on the CB with others in trucks while watching the others outside.
Never had to stay put for very long waiting on the weather. But I do plan for it.

I plugged in the diesel block heater tonight on a timer so it will be warm in the morning in case I need to take it instead of the yota. I guess winter is here a little early. Have fun all you guys with snow blades.
I got an email from a friend in Nebraska and his son is using an old combine to push snow up there on his acreage. He mounted a blade where the header would go. I've asked him to send me pictures. That has to be a real "red neck" setup. I would get one for here, but I'd probably roll it on the hills. Duane, if your pickup gives out just buy an old combine for $500 and you'll be ready to go. lol
