Paul,
thanks for the secondary hook up on the truck, I was gonna have the truck running by this weekend but I wound up stuck on a rescue mission into the icey hell that became Amarillo texas.

We witnessed many wrecks, and almost wrecked a few times ourselves, luckily we didn't see anyone get hurt, though many people were reported injured or died from accidents on the ice covered highway 40.

Saturday before we left I put new front pads on my diesel ford van, since it roasted them 3 weeks ago when we moved here coming down 87 out of payson without trailer brakes (lost those in oklahoma when a shoe delaminated) it then worked it ass off for the next four days, running for a continuous 96 hours, either high idling to keep the heat going in 17 degree weather as we caught 2-5 hour naps in the van (in most instances only stopping because of weather or closed roads but making the most of it by catching some sleep) or hauling ass down the highway.

It's good to be back in sunny mesa. I could've gone without seeing snow this year, I was really hoping I would.
