Morning Steve.

I'm the type of person who plans out my route to work based on which roads would be in the best condition for whatever type of weather I am faced with.

My options are pretty limited for choices, but I generally run the best road all the time... Luckily today I don't have to go much of anywhere... I have to get the fifthe gear nut put on the 92's NV4500, and then study the rest of the day...

Well it didn't seem bad out at all....easy drive to work roads seemed just wet...until I got into the parking lot at work and did a test slide and slid about 5 feet.

...& then almost fell on my butt trying to get in the door.

Good morning Iowa. Nice coat of ice on the truck this morning. Got my 20 minute work out chipping it off. I'm ready for spring!
