It seems that old man winter is giving us another taste of winter. We are having our first day above zero since last Friday, and I heard on the news last night that we are getting more snow and sub zero temps again tomorrow night. I Can't wait. Sometimes in the winter I've been known to wear shorts and a sweatshirt around here. Last weeks weather got me getting all the extension cords gathered up in order to plug the trucks in. I also picked up a bunch of ISO Heet to keep in both vehicles. Growing up in Western Pennsylvania I was used to having some snow, but never minus 20 temps. The Winter of 1998, my first in Montana was an eye opener. The truck I drove out here didn't have a block heater in it because We didn't use them in Pennsylvania. I had no clue what they were until one sub zero day I went to start my truck and it barely turned over and didn't start. After getting a magnetic oil pan heater and letting it heat my engine for a day the truck started. I still have that oil pan heater today. Now I use it for heating my motorcycles up. I had driven a Montana purchased truck back to Pennsylvania and my friends would ask me about the "Cord" sticking out of my grill. When I told them what it's for, they couldn't believe it.
It sounds like we are going to have a cold and white Christmas and that's alright by me. Now all I have to do is start my Christmas shopping soon. I'll probably get it all done on Christmas Eve.
