No, she'd get it stuck on wet grass. I know her... she needs 4WD!~

I guess she's been stepping out while I've been gone, that cheating............ I blew a spider out the back of the cover one afternoon coming in, didn't even know it until I parked. I had a local mechanic I know from one of the Dodge dealers put a kit in it. He replaced all the spiders, clutches and steels. It was like a different truck when I got it back. I know it wouldn't got like a 4wd in the snow but I've had it in the snow several times in Ohio and never had any problems. A little weight in the bed does wonders.

One nice thing about these trucks. When I was doing wood, I could stack two loads the length of the bed and 4 foot high at the same time. I'd be tired when I got in but I'd pick up $150 for the trip.

Oh, with weight it wouldn't be a problem. But after she gets the load of wood unloaded, I'm sure I'd be chasing around the countryside pulling her out of whatever she's gotten herself into. She does that NOW with a 4WD Chevy!

Morning sniffers, the night crew was on a roll last night. Sounded like they were sitting around drinking and trying to carry on a conversation. Talk about staying on a topic - - HUH? Funny to read.

Hey, few clouds rolling in this morning heading for some wet stuff - - been a while - - we need some rain.

I didn't hear anyone say HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOB yet this morning. Seeee - - wow am I ever loved.

Good night all, Headed to bed.
Now that really makes me excited, Marc. I can't wait - - catching the next plain up there. Wife and I were talking about our dip in the hot springs in BC when we headed up your way. There still were some small clumps of snow around and the steam was pouring out of that water. That water was just plain hot - - you had to stir the cooler water off the bottom to kick to the top to stop from turning red. That would have been fun to hit in the middle of the winter - - - well, if the bears were not around anyway.

OK, heading out to do some work, so grabbing a ph00 and wishing everyone a great day. Christmas is right around the corner - guess I better go shopping sometime next week. Don't want to rush it - - after all - - I AM MAN.

Bob

Probably something to do with thr front Axle disconects on them Chevys. Got to put one of those positive angagement kits on them so you can actually use the front axle.... Silly chevy guys....


Happy B- day Fiver. Come on over and I'll buy you a Mocha. An iced one.....
