    I've never seen red ones. But I've heard that grubs are ok, as long as you cook the meat through. Personally, I have thrown back fish if I see they have grubs.

    Fun fact! If you leave your truck idling in Park for an hour it will shut itself off.

    I have the heat blasting, box fan on high in the back seat and 2 big buckets of DampRid in there. It's drying up faster than I expected. If the rain would stop and the wind would calm down, I'd be out there with the shop vac...

    But Packers now.

    Saw this guy today. Honestly can say I've never seen a snake actively feeding underwater before. Can hold its breath for a surprisingly long time. In the video where the camera moves all around I wasn't panicking but rather respecting the snake and giving it some distance (and also perhaps just a little tiny bit of panic)

    Also If you leave it in accessory mode with the engine off it shuts off after like 20 minutes.

    Storm got me too. Not as bad, but I was driving home this afternoon and had two damp spots in my headliner.

    Me too. Have some TC uppers that need to be rebuilt and installed. Then just a full suspension up grade (less the rear springs...) Hoping to get two more years out of my 33's, then!

    So. Many. Stickers.
    Heat and moving air are key. I also took the carpets out when I swamped puddle jumper (that's how it got it's namesake) and had heater and fans running for a solid two hours.

    MT won't shut off :D

    That's why you put it into "on" mode lol

    Aww that’s just a cute little northern water snake. Don’t try and pet them because they can be a bit bitey, but are pretty much harmless. I like watching them because they are quite curious and usually aren’t too afraid of people if you give them space.

    Hope everyone stays dry tonight - experiencing some water issues myself, which is never fun (but good to learn from).
