BC, cold? :roll: It was -17 here this morning and I had to go start a machine in the yard. I put off 2 other jobs until tomorrow when it'll be up to a few above 0. :lol:

I have a set of h11 LEDs sitting 6 hours from me for my 4th gen. Figured for the price I'll try them

It really is nice having a shop, And proper tools. I haven't had access to mine for a while and it sucks

I wholly acknowledge that it's a LOT colder elsewhere, it's just this danged NC weather. :?

This past Monday, I serviced my Dad's HVAC in a comfortable sunny 65*F. It snowed last night. Gonna have lows in the upper teens over the next three nights. :roll:

I can't imagine the minus digits some of you guys are dealing with. (I guess standing in front of a five 36" freezer evaporator fans blowing around -20*F air is close but geez!)

You're welcome. It's been a good haul. Time to hang it up and let the younger guys take over.

It hit 24° here monday so i tore apart my 60 and installed a spc offset kingpin bushing and shimmed the spindle.bmy driver tire is no longer "stanced". Good thing, it was -7 when i went to work yesterday. It got up to 9 today. No relief for the next week or so.

A friend of mine moved to south carolina. He said they got about 1/2" of snow last night and they dang near shut down the state!

It's a damp 36° here,the moisture sucks. It makes the damn cold cut you. Supposedly it's to get down into the low teens late tonight or into the morning.
One thing about it......I'll be working with the doors down in the shop and that 175k btu diesel heater a pumpin. ;)

I'm sorry to hear that. They are a nice sweater. Seeing as I'm single I've never had that happen. I did get a black and a green one when I ordered so if I end up with that happening I can switch to the other one. I also have a few chive shirts. If you look at the label they say they're probably bullet proof

3* here this morning with -13* wind chill, I worked in the barn last night and 55* is as warm as it got with the wood burner humpin,
I also don't like it when it's below 20* that's when bad things start happening.

plugged in the ol truck last night and she fired right up this morning, but was tachin 300 rpm more at 60mph than it usually does, I am hopping
it was due to the cold. :?
