Snow!? I was in Minnesota this weekend so I didn't know it snowed. Looks like I need to clean up the yard! you know, my front diff is leakin too 
but I think I'll let it slid for now. You going to need help resealing it? I have to repl*ce Valve cover gaskets on my motor I think. Started to leak on the trip this weekend. Used 1 qt between here n Fargo! On a difdferent note I got just shy of 13mpg running 80-90 mph. 
them minnesota drivers sure do cruise. I was in a line of about 6 or so! Lol. Runnin between 2700-3000 rpms. It hummed along nicely.

Yeah it came down pretty good around here. Sounds like medora area got about 3" while we had about a inch. Starting to feel like winter around here. I miss fall already. lol
Have you been to s. washington lately? I went down there on sunday to scope it out. I couldn't believe it but they graded the road. Heck I could get my car back there now. But once you get all the way back its pretty flooded over and I didn't explorer to much further.
I just might need help, I just don't know if I want to fix it with the bj's and bearings, or just let it leak. Mainly I really need to get my front end running smooth. It's getting real rough and the tire's car barely free spin anymore. What would you recommend I do? I should really have you drive my truck soon and give me your opinion on what I should do. I think you'll clearly feel what I mean.
You'll have to give me a shout someday when your wrenching, I'll stop out and bs a bit. Give ya a hand if you need, or at least a little moral support.

****! I didn't even notice that. That's kinda bs. I'm sick of them taking all our back roads from us. Over the last 5 years I can think of quite a few that I used to use that are now off limits to vehicles. Kinda sad if you ask me. But I can understand why the do it too.
I don't think I have much going on Saturday. I'd be down to get together for a bit. Just let me know what the plan is. Do you know of any places in town that sell spicer u joints? or carry them?

Are you talking about the socket way? I really need to get a vice one of these days. lol
Give me a shout when you head down on Saturday. I'll see if I can stop down at the same time and lend a hand. Hopefully its a nice day out there.
