    Thinking about it. If it's not super hot we'll probably head over. Been going since 1973 when I was in high school.

    Another piece of advice for backing a trailer....
    When it goes left, turn left to correct.
    When it goes right, turn right to correct.

    It's very simple, people try and get fancy with putting hands in different positions, trying to use their camera, and so on.

    Use your mirrors and just go slow!

    Water leak passenger floor

    Truck can be outside during two weeks of constant rain (or so it seemed) and not a drop inside.
    When I've gone through the carwash wet on the passenger floor. I've cleaned the cowl drains and can pour water there and see it drain out underneath. Thoughts?

    Possible bad seal underneath the windshield.
    Not sure if yours has been replaced but my buddy had to have his replaced again due to it leaking.
    A good hint is condensation build up on the spot where it's coming in.

    Glass has never been out. I'll keep an eye out for condensation.

    Willington roads are tore up big-time on the sides in many areas from flooding.
    It's crazy....
    1 street on the way too the dump has about a foot of water on it and the dirt road I was on was a total washout.
    Cars that were going to the dump were turning around at both sections.
    I got to have some fun in it!
    My entire street has flooded basements, some worse than others. I got some but the sump pump and what I've done to the outside worked great.
    All I did was put on the dehumidifier.
    My street still has a river running down the road at 6pm!

    At the back lot at work we had three to four feet of water. One car got hydro-locked as they were trying to move it.
    It had to be a mess as they were trying to move all those cars.

    Good thing I was on my way to Brookfield and didn't have to do any of it.

    Some minor flooding here in Vernon in low lying area along Hockanum River. We're up the hill off of Tunnel Road exit. Amazed how quickly everything has dried up.
