Oh come on folks. You must be doing some winter projects. Let's here about them and see about them. Post em up. Who care's if it's pumping out your hold or adding a dashboard bobble head. Let's get through winter (where it applies) :clap:

Believe it or not, there is a price war on tires up here. The dealerships aren't selling too many cars so they gotta eat too and have went after the service end with a vengeance. A big Ford dealer near us put tires on our GP for under $300. They require a specific size to fit the stock alloys and usually run $550 or so mounted and balanced.

Shop, it is a buyer's market out there right now. Except with the Dr.'s.... :skillet:

does my upgrades to my hips count. If needed I will post pictures of the scars and Xrays.

Capt PJ We have 8"this morning. I had to coordinate the installation of my Home Built Snow Plow and tractor chains on my 1952 Ford 8N. This morning had a young Gentleman Come over to borrow the tractor to plow the two miles of road for the development I live in. Took awhile to get it started. The tractor is very cold Natured. I have to use a weed burner hooked to a 20lb propane bottle to heat the oil pan for it to start. The propane bottle was frozed up so no flow till we warmed it up in the shop. The young man was done in two hours. :mrgreen:

Sounds like you have some good neighbors. Hope your rehab is going to plan and you are finding the relief.
