Default While I’m Away

I知 less then 20 hours away from heading down to Des Moines, IA so that I can catch a flight to Portland OR and then driving down to Eugene as my daughters wedding is on the 29th.

Being we all brag about how well a Cummins engine will start when its cold out, I値l get to see first hand just how well it will do after setting for 2 weeks at the airport without being plugged in with overnight temps at or below zero.

Anyway you all have a very Merry Christmas

Should be fine. If it doesn't give me a shout. I am an hour away from the airport.

Have a great trip. Make sure you get the BBQ seasoning.

Talking

Well I'm happy to report that I only cycled the grid heater once and it fired and ran great :

Its also nice to be home and away from the 4+ inches of rain that came down while we were their I'll take -10 below zero any day over the high 85-100% humidity they have all winter even though the temps never got below 29 above zero and as high as 55 degrees.


Oh, the wedding went Great but I must admit I had a weird feeling giving her away to her husband to be, but I can say she did get one heck of a nice guy

I in fact did get some seasoning (Sorry but it was not BBQ seasoning but Johnnys seasoning salt) from Costco in Eugene that I can't seem to find around here or even the Costco in MN.

BTW CC you would of been the last person to as you would never have let me live down a tow home behind your truck
