It's cold out...
Time to switch over to the diesel kleen with anti-gel again it seems, and get out my extension cord and timer for the block heater. Some say don't worry until 20F, but I have my mark at 32F for these things. We've also got a potential for snow in the forecast this upcoming weekend, though I think that's being a bit optimistic.

I added 8 oz gray and 4 oz white yest when I fueled, probably do the same until it stays cold. Which reminds me, I better get on the guy thats rebuilding my plow pump! It doesn't work that good without that, lol! You've seen my driveway, I think you'll agree that shoveling it isn't an option. And I haven't had to plug mine in at all since it stays in the garage at night.

Yeah, my garage isn't attached, and isn't heated, and is a wee small for my truck, so it sits out front.
Your driveway calls for your truck and a subaru. I never liked plowing gravel. I need to get a plow for my tractor though for my driveway, now that I think about it.

My garage isn't heated either, doesn't even have electric except for the extension cord to it- for now. If I was born rich instead of good-looking I'd have it paved as I agree plowing the millings isn't any fun, and I'm always raking millings back out of the grass in the Spring. I guess we all have our crosses to bear though, right?
