Well I just got home from our short attempt at going to work today. Truck started to freeze up about 5 miles out from my house. Maybe we should have Fords for company trucks instead of these Dodge deisels! Made it into town surging and put some antigel in the tank. After about a half hour it stopped surging and started to run normal again, but we decided screw it, and went home! Thats my story for today! Yesterday we didnt even attempt it!

I left my old truck at home today. The steering is stiff when it is -20 so I doubt I could even get it to turn today. I didn't try starting it but I am sure it would have fired up, just some much easier to use the comand start on the van today.

Let for work this morning, it was snowing. Got to work it was snowing, it snowed util 10 to 3 (I get off work at 3pm), thank god the wind stopped at 1pm. I dont mind snow, I hate the bloody wind. 25cm of fresh powder at the weather station, and 40cm at base. Most of the guests were telling me about waist deep powder down all the runs.
