    I think we lucked out, with him not falling off the couch.

    He did get really bummed and cried tonight though. Both cousins that slept over last night originally said they were doing it again. At the last minute they changed their mind. Needless to say that mine had a melt down and it was tears galore. Felt so bad... But it is what it is. I can't force people to do something they don't want to. I tried to explain that to my son, but he's only 4, so I doubt he understands. But you never know.

    Morning everyone. Happy Monday. Back to the grind. These next two weeks I'm flying solo. Co-worker took his usual 2 weeks at a time off during the holidays. FAK!

    Hey - no rain, no snow. Nice when Mother Nature leaves you alone Monday morning.
    Short work week! Enjoy.

    Short week!

    Noted a lot of roadkill out there this morning, even in Stamford. Must be the change in light and weather getting them crazy. Keep your eyes peeled...

    Somebody nailed a deer on the Merrit at about 630am and decided to stop in the right lane...where there's a cement construction barrier making it even narrower...rather than pull up maybe 20' to make it onto the shoulder. Brilliant people...

    I am that's still on, not sure what time everyone wants to go out.
    Might be some snow and ice...
    I have lots of recovery gear though so no worries, we really shouldn't even need it unless I do something stupid.

    I was going to ask if you had recovery gear cause I got nothing...haha 100% stock truck! Only thing I did was remove the front lower plastic shit piece cause it looks terrible.

    Speaking of recovery gear, what kind of tow hook should I replace stock with (until I get my winch and bumper setup)?

    I should've elaborated. Ideally I'm going to just be getting the SOS Slimline Winch mount.

    Do those come with attachment points or is it just the winch mount?

    You're welcome to ride with me.... I'm a extremely unexperienced off-road driver w/ an expensive stock truck who will be attempting his feat at not damaging anything on it.... lol I've got heated seats to boot. :)

    Only requirement is a coffee (I'm also a starbucks basic bitch).
