    Just thinking about mods for next year. I'd like to get traction boards but need a way to mount them. Bed bars might be a good solution (a shovel/axe on the other side?).

    Mi youngest was supposed to have a field trip, but got postponed because it's raining.

    I think we're just getting rain, even though they mentioned the possibility of a little bit of mix.

    Winter: Yes, lots. Super peaceful being out in the middle of a cold winter day.

    Snow: Done some locally in one of the unspoken spots, maybe worth a run there this year if it snows in the 4-12" range otherwise it's just a stuck/digging fest in my experience. Otherwise just unplowed roads in the Hudson Valley up in the mountains and some snow wheeling up in MA on the ATVs. Snow wheeling is great until it isn't... shit can go south really quickly.

    lol....yes....I LOVE the Wera stuff....the screwdrivers and L-keys in particular. I have many. Pay once, cry once - that's what I always say. Between wera, tekton, and knipex you could spend many paychecks lol. but you'd have REALLLLLLLY nice tools.

    Just remember guys. I live on the Southern coast of CT, so something fairly close is preferable.
