yes and no. It's a little early, but we do get a few days that cold most years. It started early this year... already broke a record low two weeks ago.

First year in my house, temp didn't get above freezing for about a week. Lowest i think was 9*. Froze my water pipe out front

Ex used to get mad when we'd get written up for leaving the outside light on... hmmm was dark when we left for work, was dark when we got home... Thank fully the shop was on the south side of the building, and the wall was windows so we got all the light available and lots of dark too.

 

I keep a containers of lysol / clorox cleaning wipes in my desk drawer.

Cold doesn't appear to bother them... even when I'd walk Ollie and she had next to no hair, she never shivered. Zoie doesn't have much, but cold doesn't phase her either.

They're gonna get their holiday bath today and I have sweaters to put on them afterwards. High is only supposed to be 45*. It takes them a long time to dry. Annie doesn't care, but Zoie wasn't happy when I put it on her to see if it fit.

 

... Old?
That's the exact jack I have two of; one in each truck. They work well and the case is convenient for storing and taking with on road trips and such. The OEM jacks they put in vehicles aren't safe if you need to use them off a paved/level surface. I think you made a good choice for your purposes.

 

hmmm might have to pick one of them up to keep in the truck...

Ok... will be hard to see on Annie - she's black and the sweater is black, but I'll take one, once they have their bath.

 

If you do throw a couple 2x4 or 2x6 blocks that fit between the castor wheels in the "kit", to increase the reach of the jack just in case. If you have them you might never need them, but if you don't ...
That's what I do/have FWIW

 

Went for a bike ride this morning. Made a fire on the beach. It was 1°when we started.

 

Nice pic!
Good morning Adam.

 

Pretty much all I wanted to get done except I still have to torque down the third and fill it with diff fluid. Used Permatex as a gasket and they don't recommend full torque until it cures.

I still need to mount, plumb, and wire the compressor before the locker will work and that's going to be a while while I compile exactly what I want. May upgrade the air lines to stainless and I want a SPOD in place before wiring........all of that following the engine

No need running more lines and clogging up the engine bay right now.

I literally just threw that same jack out yesterday. It's in my trash can right now. Had it for about 3 years and the only bad thing I can say is they are not stable on off camber ground and if they do sink and 'roll' over they tend to fall apart If you plan on keeping that in your truck bring some 3/4 plywood with you. Cut it lengthwise so that the wheels just fit over the wood (not on top of it) and I'd make sure it was at least 12" wide. Should help if your in an soft area.

Ive had a 3 ton for over a year in the box I never put together but yesterday I didn't feel like messing with my hi lift so I put it together and it's much more stable being twice as wide. I still put wood under it.

 

Morning Rob, I was amazed, it didn't seem that cold. I Also had 4 to 5 layers on every part of my body.

 

could be the 9am beer

 

Or the 9:30 crown

 

For Rob: two wet dogs in sweaters

One that doesn't care:

One that's mad:

 

Well get busy!!

So, make a "T" with the wood/jack?

I can add layers everywhere but my fingers and toes and they freeze while the rest of me it nice and toasty

 

I just finished fixing my compass/overhead console. to know the temperature again!

 

You were outside???
