What a day, did my civic duty this morning helping a group put up their Christmas decorations. Then spent 8 hrs on the road...I thought Sunday was supposed to be a day of rest? Hope everyone had a great day/weekend and be safe out there.

Nope, I survived. My online calculator said I burned 1200 calories doing it though.

When I got home Friday, I found a 4' tall pile Mr. Plow left at the end of my driveway. Bashed the truck right through it..crap flying everywhere.

On and Pete, you'll be glad to know that I washed the truck yesterday. Here was the result:



I managed to keep the doors from freezing shut..but that water froze the instant it hit the side of the pickup. Got all the salt deposits off..but now my windows won't roll down.
