Good luck, Nick! Sounds like you don't need it, though.

Ice on the roads and my truck won't start this morning. Looks like a fun day ahead watching wrecks on the news. Supposed to get above freezing by noon, so maybe I'll run to town then, but for now, looks like a lazy day.

Truck didn't start yesterday either. I wonder if it's because I didn't even stick the key in the ignition?

good morning all!! it was 25* out this morning when I took the pups out, and with no wind, it felt WARM!!!

fun thing I noticed today: my bruises from my snowboard biff on Sunday finally are showing today!! that's some stupid deep bruising, and so far they're small....

Oh yeah, and I decided to keep the Passat and sold the Subaru. I received the parts for the Passat yesterday, so I decided to do the driver's door handle so I could again open it from the outside. First try and I didn't route the integrated wire properly, so it was binding... ggrrrrr.. Second try has it working beautifully!! Butter smooth!! I was stoked!! So I'm testing everything, and on a VW, you can do a bunch with the key in the door:

Unlocking:
1) 1 twist forward will open the door you have the key in
2) a 2nd twist forward will unlock all doors, truck, and fuel door
3) holding the key forward on 2nd twist will roll down all windows

Locking
1) 1 twist back will lock the door you have the key in
2) a 2nd twist back will lock all doors, truck, and fuel door
3) holding the key back on 2nd twist will roll up all windows

So I'm testing it all and everything is working perfectly! Car is locked up tight, and just for giggles, I pull the driver's door handle.... yep, with everything supposedly locked, the door popped right open!! yep, I had to laugh... it's frustrating, but I tell you what, actually having an external door handle (and not just a hole there!) is great. Having it worked when you pull it is a joy! Now, if I can get it to actually lock up, I'll be ecstatic!!

Thanks Jacob. The are sayin that we are going to get 3-5" of snow then chage over to sleet and freezing rain. That is common here due to being so close to the coast. It just makes a mess.

So I'm guessing Florida is starting to look like a really attractive option right now? Have you started asking yourself why you put up with that kind of weather for so many years yet?
