    Well, can't believe I did it, but I bought...

    Yeah, I definitely like the styling on the new Chevy's as opposed to the Ford's. The dealership I went to also won my business by being what I felt was genuinely honest. I went to Ford, Toyota, Nissan, etc and felt like they were all hosing me on price. Chevy came out of the gate with an initial...

    ...a new truck. I've had F-150's prior, but I just liked the new Chevy better. Got a great deal on a leftover 2010 LTZ crew cab. The thing is loaded with every imaginable option. Couldn't beat the deal, so I thought I'd give GM a shot. So far I love it.

    The SNOW thread

    I'm not complaining...I LOVE snow. It's so peaceful after it snows. Everything is quiet, and the trees are beautiful to look at. I just stay off the roads and work from the house. I lived in San Diego for a year (2008-2009) and missed the seasons (as nice as San Diego was!!).

    The SNOW thread

    Yeah, still pretty messy around here. I live out in an unicorporated area of town so the roads are still not the best. I took a drive around in my wife's 4x4 earlier and almost ended up in the ditch. Hopefully they get it cleared up a bit more by morning. Here's a few more pics...

    Scored a Free load of Applewood w/ Qview

    Looks like I'm going to be doing some splitting in my near future. Can't complain though, as I got it free from a coworker trying to get rid of it. She happened upon it free as well from a woman who didn't want to pay a tree company to haul it away. My coworkers husband is a craftsman, and he...

    Hola from Santiago, Chile

    I have to say, the cookie plant I was doing work at down there had whole graveyard of used cylindrical vessels, and it was a food plant, so they were all food grade type stuff...too bad the economy of bringing something back like that wouldn't be worth the effort!! I could build all kinds of...
