Morning everyone!!!
-25/-34. Doesn't feel that cold this morning. I use my sandles with no socks to usually test the weather in the morning. For my morning mint, If I can stand there without curling my toes, it's -25 or warmer :P Curled toes, shrugged shoulders it's -25 with a high wind chill :P

Managed to zip to Ford in the city. Grabbed a case of LV, internal/external filter for the eX. Changed her out in the driveway. Colder than a son-of-a-gitch but got her done. Pretty sure I've bought myself some time but not much. Pan/filters were plugged solid. Took her out for a zip on the hwy and she shifts alot better, hit's OD no problem now. Still a bit of shift flair between5th/6th but will hold the gear without slipping anymore. Pretty darn tough trannies!!!!!
See how she does after another cold soak overnight
Have a great evening everyone!! Stay warm and don't let the toes get too close to the stove

I froze my fingers in a matter of a few minutes today, it`s not the day to be working without gloves, even for 3-4 minutes.

Good evening Curtis, Sherm, Grant, Colin, Gerry, Randy and all who lounge around here. It got up to around 4°C and only going down to -4°C here tonight, almost flip flop weather for y'all.

The humidity must be high along with the cold today. It took no time to be frozen stiff. I thought I was going to have some frostbite on my face, but it seems to be fine. Last winter I helped some dumb kids out of the snowbank and wound up with a badly frostbitten ear. It was swollen nearly 3 times its size.

Evening everyone!
It wasn't too bad here today, but it was a little chilly when I decided to walk through the mall parking lot in my thin sweater.
Curtis - I know the Ex "technically" has 6 gears but for normal operation it only uses 5 of them
So unless you were driving the truck cold it shouldn't use the 6th gear (yes I know I'm being a smartass ) But it is good to know its shifting better
Sherwin - I'd love some warmer weather but I just got the new lower control arm for my sled so I don't want the snow to go away just yet lol

Now I don't have many feelings for the new Camaro's, but the situation is devastating. I sure hope the people get rightfully compensated!!
