Thanks, yes the truck rallies look so much better, I have seen Bob build a truck and the next day after its done we have driven it to San Diego, so far so good, this yellow 58 will be our daily driver, O and the gallon of paint showed up Friday for the 58
 
Bob got the old 55 ready for the weekend road trip down to Redding Ca.

Bob had his exhaust installed on the 58 panel yesterday and it sounds perfect, our weather is warming up but still a little rain,

What the He*!? Started snowing Sunday, all day. We got 8-9 inches of the white stuff, nice and fluffy. So I shoveled the sidewalk and cleaned off my car to get a growler from the neighborhood micro brew, but they weren't open. BooHoo for me. Got up at 8 this morning and got the end of the driveway cleared and the space around Laura's car cleared out so she wouldn't get stuck. Went inside to warm up and watch some Top Gear (ain't the same without the old cast, but I'm addicted). Laura gets back and I go outside to finish. It's still below freezing but the wonders of science have melted the snow enough to make it nice and heavy. got the sidewalk and deck done, followed by the deck around the hot tub, (yes I'll rub it in but it is awesome after a hard day at work) and back to finish the driveway. Took way too long, but I'm not going to kill myself over snow. Just as I'm almost done, a guy comes over to the neighbors with a Bobcat and a blower attachment, and damn, I need one of those! Actually Laura's son usually cleans out our driveway but he was on the road, hauling for a new company, finally putting his truck to use. Best part about this? It's supposed to get warm enough to melt this crap in a week! Nothing like a job that leaves you feeling rewarded.
 
This storm is a little to the south of me, we got about 1-2 in and wind, I feel for the north east I heard 1-2ft in parts
 
Well it's up to about 30 degrees here and were in the middle of a nor-easter . Got about 5" to 6" on the ground so far now and were now supposed to get up to a foot of wet heavy white stuff . On the bright side , originally they were saying 12" to 18" and 50 to 60 MPH winds .
 
Well yesterday was interesting . With all the wet snow followed by sleet and then a good portion of rain . The road in front of my house flooded out because all the drains where clogged . The town sent out two guy's in a pick-up to inspect the issue and they wouldn't even get out of there truck . All this was "after" me and the wife spent a few hours clearing out our driveway and two of the neighbor's driveways . The entire street was underwater and we had snow and water all the way up to our garage doors . Mind you our driveway is about 2 1/2 cars deep not counting the sidewalk . Since the town didn't do anything . I went back out with the Ramcharger , made a wall of wet snow going across the driveways to block anymore water from coming our way and then took my truck and drove up half on the sidewalk and plowed it and then doubled back a couple times and plowed the street as close to the drains as I could to clear them out . Finally after a couple of hours , the street was clear again and what looked like a lake in front of the house was gone . Today , It's in the 20's and sunny . When the heck is spring coming ? Can't wait till warmer weather and the sweet smell of burning rubber get's here ! :)
