nlongo33 Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 Man, that looks COLD! (But then it is 25F here with a layer of ice.) So it makes sense to wait. Be careful and don't get the trailer messed up! truck is home, new hood gets finished painted this morning and installed tonight...boy passed his road test! so final safety and reliablity checks, and of course wait till salt is off the roads and this old girl is back.... Next friday we are going to work on the bed and get wood squared away and tire rack installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Supposed to be a sleety weekend. Though he's a bit northwest of me (50-60 miles?) We are into that "Tease Of Spring" season. After the Deep Freeze it feels like Spring is right around the corner. And apparently the plants & trees agree 'cause the pollen count has taken off. But Mother Nature usually isn't done with us, so I'm not getting my hopes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
