Good Evening my Brothers and Sisters above the border. Been a while since I have been here.
I hop all of you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Tammie is happy. We have had snow on the ground for a little better than a week. It is colder than a well digger's *** outside with the wind chill (-5). Just makes the broken old bones hurt more.
Did get a surprise. I do not have the heater hooked up on the dino truck. Went outside, cycled it twice and the old girl romped to life. Sounded like she had a full race cam for about a minute and it sounded great. Brought back memories from the early hotrod life. Took her for a cruise and everything worked except I found out that I have a connector not connecting quite right in the column. No back lights except for tail and reverse. Oh, well, the girl is pissed at me. Been driving the Vic more than her. She has a right, I guess.

Damn I love the Snow,

Damn I hate the cold,

Keep repeating that to myself.
Do you think that I can convince myself that both are true?
I know the last is, but I do love to drive in the snow, break my own trail. I did find out that it is much more fun in the old F150 than the F250 SD.
Damn nose is too heavy in the SD. It has a wild *** on the turns, like driving a dirt tracker, but it can be fun, just not at 50 mph and above.

Yeah, but you have to admit, it is beautiful to drive at night on a two lane raod with about a foot of powder, breaking your own trail, on a full moon night with the snow sticking to everything. Headlamps on high beam, driving lamps on, aux lamps on, reflecting off of the snow. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
