o yea, how about this north texas snow storm. hopefully my ole 2wheel'r can make it out west today, and if i do catch a ditch, a combination of a whole lot of wheel spin and possibly some rocking should unstick me.

Hmmmm....long range forecast says rain on Friday and Saturday.....not good. If the rain really happens, we can make the dyno, but camping at The Ranch may be out.

rob, I like what you've done with your hair!


Not everyone is getting the weather rowland! I've been hoping for rain or snow these last two storms but no luck over here in west ok.

Woo Hoo!! Snow is fun!!

Drove around with a buddy and recovered 10 vehicles with the ol Dodge... Handled extremely well in the stuff!! Had just a hair over 7" in Denton! Mostly still there too!

Made about $120 pulling out stuck cars (some pretty bad and a couple we had to pull out twice! ) Didn't ask for $$, but if they offered we accepted!

Got to take the quads out in the snow as well... Good times...!

Here are a few pics!

Snow sucks (if I'm not there to enjoy it).

Instead, I'm stuck in Atlanta working on getting home tomorrow. Guess we'll see how the weather goes. Thought I had a slim chance today because one plane made it to ATL from DFW this afternoon, but I guess they decided to save that one for a trip tomorrow.

Oh well...drinks are on the company tonight!

Still running the BCSCUMMINS "loaner44".

Made the trip to Giddings and back last weekend with no issues. Supposed to go again this weekend (if/when I get home).

New VP is on the way, probably delayed somewhere due to the "Arctic Blast".

Well come Saturday.....for the 1st time since 7-31-04, I will be without possession of my truck overnight. Got my appt. with Northum for him to perform his magic on my trans. He actually can't start on it until Monday morn, but I have to get it to him Sat in order to meet him at the shop and look at all the goodies going in it. Sunday, his wife has plans for him...

Hopefully I will get it back Tues., Wed. at the latest.

I am darn proud of that stocker holding up so well for so long and still going strong.

Looks fun Brian! I had to work this evening and Dallas didn't look anything like that. McKinney got some, but I don't think near as much as Denton.

Paid for that fancy new webbed tow strap ....and then some!!
I found the same brand but bgt the 18,000 lb model as the end will fit the tight squeeze over my front frame. Yours is 28,000 lb, I think, and as we found in Alvarado, has too fat a loop end for my CTD.
Nice products, good price...thanks for the tip!

Congrats! Will be interesting to see (in Denton), the additional hp to the ground!
Need to do some serious driving to get peach fuzz of the clutch faces by Saturday! Actually the 3 Dyno runs should do that just fine!!
