Hey guys, haven't been down here in a while....they should have these sections higher on the list so they aren't over looked. LOL

Yeah, its really cold! Cold enough the batteries in the tractor, bobcat and ATV quit on me!!! Its hovering around 0* right now and its cold enough school got canceled tomorrow (Good thing cause I got mid-term exams and now I have 4 days to "study")

 

just got home -8. Better then wed. roads where icy most big rigs where at 35 mph

 

So are youse guys cold yet?

 

Yep I been outside , and its so cold I can make my own inverted icicles

 

OMG, we got hit today!

Up to this day, its been pretty mild, rarely a day below 30*

High today 18*, tonight going down to 8*

 

BTW Ray, you got a live one just signed in the new user thread

 

9 below this morning at 9:00 am. Wind chill was -32 below. OMG, you would thinke we all moved to North Dakota. It was 45 degrees in Anchorage, AK today. Glad I don't have to work outside in it. Took my dog(yellow lab) for a quick walk around the park, when we got back in the garage and I was taking my carharts off her teeth were chattering. That's cold.

 

Well...............I finally did it!!! yup....sure enough.

Bought me a "new" truck! Well, okay............."newer" truck.

My trusty little $#%^#box Escort finally rotted to pieces and I needed to replace it. Just last week I passed one of the many little car lots and saw a really nice '95 F150 supercarb shortbed. Got online and found it. V8/auto, two tone blue, alum wheels, cruise/tilt/ac, loaded up nice with 74K miles. Got it for $3900. I called my buddy who sells cars on the side, he got the fellow to wholesale it to him and then I bought it from my friend for wholesale price. Presto-chango! Originally was priced at $4888. Should get title today yet and then start tinkering and adding frills to it.

Gunno steal the remote start from Escort and put it on, plus CB, stereo, cut off that stock exhaust so it makes some NOISE!! Gawd I've missed driving a real truck daily, so I'm pretty excited. Surely miss that 30mpg, but with gas at a reasonable price lately I think I'll survive a while. Likely patch up the Escort and keep it around for a short while, but not sure yet. Not going to work out in the cold that's for sure. Right now it needs rear strut towers rebuilt.

I'll get some pics posted this weekend.

 

I miss my truck darely.I HAD A 01 SUPER DUTY 4X4 when gas prices went up and you drive 72 miles a day at 15 mpg. A 06 Focus seems alot better 34 mpg not nearly as fun.can't wait for spring hopeful get my 68 F100 done.my brother had a 95 xlt 4x4 it was a reg cab swb it drove like a dream really nice seat fits like a glove headrest is 100 % usuable

 

I gave up driving my '67 when fuel went crazy. The escort has done me well for the last 3 1/2 yrs, though its time has come to go away.

 

Here's the new toy, still clean!
