Yup. We went to Bismarck ND for the weekend. It was an ok trip. We went for a Monster Jam show. It was an indoor show, so not as good as it could be but we take what we can get.
The truck got 22mpg going down, 19mpg coming back. We had some nasty winds and rain coming back. Friday afternoon there was beautiful, +20, calm and sunny. Saturday morning was a little wet but it cleared up to +13, sunny and windy. Yesterday was crap all day. +2, rain and strong winds.
Thanks, it was a fair trip
This weather is absurd. We got all excited when we got home because nearly all our yard is clear of snow. I wake up this morning to a white lawn again...
Anyone want to buy a 2003 SVT Cobra 10th anniversary edition? Seriously. I've made the decision that its not practical nor feasible to keep now that we're on the acreage...

G'Day Everyone 
CTire has that rubberized paint on sale. 6/can!! Cheap and hold up way better than flat or gloss black. Of coarse it usually the prep that makes it last.
Where do you buy your equiptment?
Light rain makes for less dust!! I always wait till a shower then grab the power rake and GIVER. I only do my yard tho
AWESOME, now it's cruise time

Well it happened, I'm legal to drive it now. Just came in from clearing a path through a foot and a half of snow crystals so I can get to the street. The ground seems pretty soft so think I'll give it a chance to dry up a bit so I don't ruin my lawn. Mother nature needs to get on board with me now.

I purchase equipment either from Cummins on Marion or Enns in Oak Bluff depending on what the equipment is.
I prefer dry weather and lawns for power sweeping as it does less damage. Could care less on the dust I produce. If people have an issue, complain to the city on their poor snow clearing and excess use of sand. Amazing how I deal with this same winter weather as the city yet my parking lots have no sand to clean up. I am just that much better than these lousy city workers. Speaking of these workers. My job is also to take pictures and list what the city snow crews wrecked on my clients properties so clients can summit claims to city. Yet again, amazing how I plow the same snow on same properties and destroy nothing.

We got about 2'' of the white and very wet stuff and the end is not in sight just yet.
It`s a late spring everywhere, so far it looks like be a very short summer.
Too bad it`s not any better your way John. 
Your fuel mileage sounds much like my 2012 F150/5.0 Sherm but you have a lot more truck under you.
We`re all in the same boat, is spring ever going to happen?
Staying dry is a full time job around here Grant. 
I`ll have to try that on my equipment trailer, paint gets chipped too easily.

I'm mowing grass ,for a few weeks now , and just dodged a tornado an hour ago ! Been years since I got any damage from one , but snow looks better than them about now ! But... I'm glad warmer weather is here . Rather not have the storms it brings though . Ya'll be safe and have fun !
