Well it snowed last night, maybe an inch.

That's more than the tires on my 04 have seen so far.

We have not had a 32nd of an inch over here...

Hell my grass is growing, and my neighbor's Lili's have started glooming again...

I was actually thinking of renting a pool heater, starting it up again and do a beach party for Xmas eve!

December 24th, and it is 17°C (66°F)... :wtf2:

Well its -7°C here today & its dusting snow.
Dusting is so slow of snow coming down, it does not accumulate much at all in hours.

That stinks. It was 78 (25C) here today and I was on the golf course in shorts enjoying the weather.

I've been sitting here for 3 days trying to decide what to do next to the truck. I have around $600 to spend.

#1: Hidden Hitch along with the AirLift Compressor for my rear helper bags. (Would be the most responsible thing to purchase)

#2: A decent quality tonneau cover and have the windows tinted.

#3: A set of stock 20's off craigslist.

Hidden hitch. No truck should be missing a hitch.

downloaded a Iphone app - Tremec tool box
I was looking for a good angle finder (for my pinion angle) & after putting in 3 angles using the phone - it will tell you if the angles are ok or out of usable angles.

I vote hitch. Oem 20s are overpriced and will probably hurt mpgs. Covers and tint are second best option.

Well I'm back home after some time at the cottage and we finally have snow... 1 ½" of it...

Before that there has been so much rain I have not been able to get the truck on stands to validate the drivetrain noise underneath... However Santa stopped by the cottage and left this awesome new toolcart under the Xmas tree!

Thank you my dear...
(Yeah I know I got the message, I'll clean up the garage a bit...)
