hi all,
its cold and rainy here. just wait a few days, and you'll get it.
just been helping my neighbor with his house,the floor in his laundry room rotted out.
so i've been helping him replace it. me and my wife had to do some running up in town this morning. i put some antifreeze in my car and wanted to drive it around alittle. it has been dipping down below freezing here at night. the ranger should be fine i was more worried about my car. no matter what make or model it is, its not worth freezing.for a $200.00 car its not to bad.

Evening guys... hope every one had a nice weekend. The sun warmed things up pretty nicely, if you call 28 nice that is... lol

Everyone cross all their fingers and toes for me, we made an offer on a house a little while ago. It's been for sale for nearly a year and the seller is speculator from back east... who in their right mind speculates on real estate in a small town in South Dakota???

I'll be down in Blair tomorrow morning helping my folks get the new 'stang loaded up on the trailer for the trip to Colorado... hope that snow holds off!

Good morning Pat, Jerry, Jack, Randy, Dallas, Rob, Gary, Jeffery and any others that I may have missed.

BRRRRRRRRRRRR is it cold outside today. Low was around 10, but with the winds that we had yesterday, the wind chill was down around 0. We also had a couple of inches of fluffy snow.

Ft. Drum is near Watertown on the east end of Lake Ontario. I am about 20 miles east of Rochester on the south side of the lake. Ft. Drum is about a 3 hour or so drive away if my memory serves correctly.

So I figured out why that fuse for the ignition blew on my Dodge.

Later that night I noticed my remote start wasn't working.....I finally had a few extra minutes last night before I left so I took a look at it. Apparently the ignition wire for the remote start got caught on the parking brake. When we loaded I set the parking brake, thus cutting the wire and giving me a free +12 volts under there. Well we all know that a hot wire is gonna find a ground somewhere........viola......blew the 25 amp ignition fuse.
