I'm trying to get back in the saddle on fixing my Torino! I got outside this morning... but this cold air (37, I'm sure some of you guys north of me would love that), and the hard wind that just picked up is making it tough. Plus, the days are so much shorter now.... but I'm going!

Michael, I got a copy of your PM. Glad ALL of you are here today, drama free!
Mike, I agree, that new signature is REALLY showing the progress you've made on the re-building of your JG Monte.
Cowboy, I feel your pain in working in the cold. Biggest thing to me is get it done RIGHT! If the cold is interfering, move on and find something else to work on.
Todd, I'm looking at new tires for the Z71 Sportside. Maybe some Blizzaks. I want winter tires this time, as it's primarily a winter vehicle now.

It hasn't stopped snowing for several days now. I just blew out about 4" from the drive. Probably about 6-8" on the level. The snow-mobilers are LUVING it! There are several groomed trails around here, and they are getting a workout.

And Yes, I noticed the user record went up BIG TIME on Christmas. It it accurate is anybodies guess around here. The only thing I know is the higher the numbers, the more money the advertisers pay. What's YOUR guess? We'll TAKE it!

Wayne the Blizzarks are great snow tires. You will like them a lot. I am going to pick up some snow rated on/off road all seasons as I do some trail riding in the summer months.
