How's the Weather????
Well in light of recent weather happenings here in the midwest, I'd thought I'd take some time to ask how it's going for all the rest of you.
Right now, I am sitting here at 630 in the mornign after spending an hour and a half outside moving snow. It's the third day in a row that I haven't had class. It was perfect because wednesday we got rain and slush all day followed by a quick freeze and 0 degree windchills all day thursday and thursday night coupled with 12" of snow. I was out at 5 plowing the driveway and lost control of the tractor going down the hill... I then spent a good 45 minutes shoveling to dig it out.
On a different note, I did find a new leveling kit idea for my truck, and it only costs roughly $45. I built a little wooden frame to put between the wheel well and the tailgate, then filled it up with 500lbs of salt. If my math is correct with all the angles and such, that 500lbs of salt being behind the wheelwell actually puts about 670lbs of pressure on the rear axle. I'm good with that, especially in this snow
So how's the weather by you??
