Evening everyone!! Including you "Stacy"
The snow's crazy out here this year. Snowbanks/Drifts around here are huge. Hwy's has to get them banks pushed back away from intersections. Can forsee another major one.......
I was home this afternoon, tomorrow installing a heater close to home so if you run into trouble, jus give me a shout
If you wanna play, the drift 500' east of me is about 8' high and the ones behind me on the sled trail are standing 10-13' high (hwy 44 right behind my place)
May be a photo opp for our Mistresses (trucks folks......trucks 
)
Morris, Grant, Colin, Clint, STeve, Falcon, Sherm, you folks have a relaxing winter evening

man I wish I brought my sled out
Cool screen shot Randy, I burnt about 50 liters I think. Got 18mpg hand calculated. Pretty happy with that as the 6.2 would have only gotten 12-13 at best. You might find your mileage a little better with the topper on there. I did with the 6.2, about 2 mpg on the highway.
Morris, I hope the coming summer is extra nice to make up for this challenging winter.
Cool you got a pile of snow Curtis, Ours is blown into bush somewhere... Whats left in the stubble fields is pretty hard stuff. I've actually been tempted to sell my sled this year. Mountain trips are going to be tougher to make happen now with the family getting a little older each year.
Hope everyone is settling back for a nice evening in front of the fire with your feet up!!!

I have heard from a few guys that they are impressed with the fuel mileage of the 6.7's. Much better than the 6.4's and the 6.0's that they had.
The streets around here are like curling ice after this weekend and the snow in the fields is just about gone.
Have a good evening everyone.

Morning Everyone!!
We've been lucky snow wise. Ditches everywhere are pretty much level with all hwy's and side roads.
Don't sell the sled, you'll regret it
That may be a blessing come spring time for you. Only worry with low snow would be how deep the frost gets into the ground. With the deep freeze we've experience across the prairie's i'm surpised there hasn't been more water main breaks ect ect.
She warmed up here overnight. -19C this morning. I"LL TAKE IT!!!
The deep freeze is getting to everyone I think Sherm. It's sooooo hard on everything.
**I started getting my subscription emails back from the site last night. Anyone else? I've lost them pretty much since mid summer.**

Happy Hump Day Mornin'all. -16C feels like -26C, strong south wind, the bone chillin kind. The field in front of my house is a good foot and a half deep. If the weather and hockey give us some time we'll surely be ridin'. Have a great day guy's.

Now I can get 20-22 on the highway with 35" tires in the summer and about 17-19 in the winter, I'm pretty happy with that.I have heard from a few guys that they are impressed with the fuel mileage of the 6.7's. Much better than the 6.4's and the 6.0's that they had.

Tried doing the "garage" thing again, that's still not working. It'll show it's uploading to site but just freezes and no pics ever make it. I'm sure they're working on it. I saw a post couple 3 months ago about issues with Garage.

Hopefully they fix the problem soon. Anyways here is a picture of me with our new puppy
We decided on a name but around 8pm last night my girlfriend decided she didn't like the name we picked so we are still re deciding on a new name. The puppy is learning pretty quick, only two accidents in the house so far which is pretty good considering he was an out door dog. I think the fact that my in laws have two dogs to kind of show him the ropes kinda helps too. Also our puppy is super skinny, I don't think the people we got him from were feeding him very much
