I don't want to get soft, besides, when my hands get cold after an hour or so, it's time for a beer in my shop anyhow. I did think it would be nice to have heated grips though.

And don't blame you a bit.  I ain't out to hurry things along but when the good Lord decides I've pestered people down here long enough and decides to take me home I hope he finds me workin'.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's pretty easy to get used to taking the gloves off in the cab when it's -40. Call me spoiled I don't care 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike I will not start a tirade on what I think of this criminally idiotic requirement for people of good character trying to legally enter this country on a mission of good will while looking the other way for people with bad intentions freely and illegally entering from the south because they know the worse thing that can happen to them is a hot meal and a bus ride back home.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oleman Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Here are some pictures for 31 January 2023 from North Texas Nice little ice/slush/frozen rain situation. Actually the most winter weather in the past year. The emergency generator set in its all metal enclosure. The little lean-to is because when I first did the cover it only had a 5 gallon fuel tank, I moved to a 15 gallon tank that took up more space. Not a plumb joint any the whole thing! I have a set 150W solar cells for the starting battery. Vehicles are the 13 Nissan and the 93 K2500. Â Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a funny thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
