I finished the seat brackets, ordered the correct belt brackets from Simpson, opened the hood to admire the downpipe/gate, and then tried to get me truck/trailer out into the driveway. I couldn't budge more than an 1" or so---the truck is sitting on ice, and the trailers tires are frozen in about 2" of ice. All this surrounded by 8"-10" of hard pack snow/ice. To top it all off, as I was trying to free the truck/trailer, the snow slid off the garage roof and is piled against the trailer several feet thick. You had to ask, didn't you!
I had to get out for a breather, so I took my daughter to 99 for dinner, and then to the mall. In the next day or 2, I hope to install the boost solenoids, and plumb them in.

Yikes, sorry i asked! At least you got to spend some time with your daughter, and you got a some things squared away on the GN. Like I said, soon this will all just be a memory....and soon we will be gettin' handed some 9 second time slips!

Get in the truck, fill it up and drive around with the trailer until the snow stops. That way you won't have to shovel it out. Does that make sense?

11.2 on the big giant slicks. What's the point? Maybe I'll go back to the whitewalls. They are lighter and have less rolling resistance.

No. Drive around until it stops snowing THIS time, not until it stops snowing for the year. Sheez! I knew I should have clarified that. Anyways, sorry about that. I like Winter, actually, I like all seasons, but I was waiting for it to end, and it just seems like it doesn't wan't to let go this year. Good Luck digging out. Again.

I know what you meant. It was just a little humor on my part. I'm trying to keep my mind off the weather. Thanks
