I'm in the FL panhandle, and it was 25 degrees here yesterday morning. Brrrrrrrr, indeed!

The forecast for next week shows us back in the 70s--that's more like it!
Yeah we were in the low 20's here, WTF over.

Okay, my Brother, -3C (27F) is cold for y'all in Florida...lol
That's still shorts and tank top weather here in my neighborhood..lol ;)
(I don't even need alcohol to get my blood warm in these temps......lol)

I keep my home at a nice comfy 19C (66F) during our cold -30C (-22F) nights... best sleeps at these temps, and I usually crack the window just a tidge in the bedroom, too.

Love my American Fam!!!

I'm actually from Michigan myself, but have lived in FL since '71.

About a week or so after Covid claimed my Brother on New Years' Day of '22, when we had the graveside gathering, it was 0° F out with a moist wind. Cut right through you, my hands ached after just a couple minutes outside of my gloves.

We never run our central heat here, to save $$. We just bundle up, even open a window or two in the daytime to keep things cool.

Screw that snow and ice sh*t, I will go and play in the snow, but do not want to have to live in it. I would love to go ice fishing, though. It's a bucket list thing for me.

I saw the decals on the front doors and thought you might have bought a Black Widow Edition Ram 1500. But it looks like it’s just an imitation. Still a nice truck though.

Not imitation thats the way the pre 2025s look... added custom leather interior with spider on headrests(front headrest only),spiders behind the speedo cluster, black widow emblem on rear tailgate, hood vents changed to Black widow embossed logo, Black widow windshield decal, rear window decal usually in the corner, black widow puddle light when feont doors are opened, fender flares(cant recall who actually makes those),6 inch lift( made by rough country), 22" Black widow wheels( made by ultra) most conversions are done by SCA Performance mine was built by SCA in Colorado...i did remove all the factory Ram logos from my doors and tailgate only left the Ram on grille and ram head on tailgate and changed wheels for a bronze set....would need to see the interior of lazrod76 truck to see if its an actual BW

Thanks for the correction. I thought they came with LED headlights and tail lights too. Thanks for the info.
