    And that is why my credit score is tanked and my truck looks really cool. Fun fact, a lot of identity theft happens to people with good credit scores. No one wants your info if you're not worth anything.

    Cool little tool of the day, not needed but works great. CV axle removal tool from Gzilla Designs Changing CV boot today. Put lasso around cv by the axle seal. Use 3lb hammer thru loop at other end and givea swing. Cv popped right out. No prying or hammering, and don't have to get under the truck (a plus for trail repairs)

    Is it more expensive than a ratchet strap? Lol

    It looks like it's more efficient for sure

    Yeah, more then a ratchet strap. Like I said not needed but it's nice. Just wanted to make people aware of it's existence.

    All this talk of heated garages had me dreaming today as I laid in the ice and snow in my driveway doing an oil change on a CR-V...

    We went over to help a neighbor this morning who got stuck in their driveway. Figured it would be quick and easy with my maxtrax but it turns out they had gone full send and were high centered in the middle of the driveway. I ended up going through the drift in the yard to get around them and give them a tug out. After that we broke up the drift and I went over it a few times to make sure it was solid and they wouldn’t sink in the crust again

    also finally got my driveway cleaned out so I’m not going through a drift every time

    Please like this post ONLY if you would like to donate as I will start a conversation on here with my PayPal email with whoever likes the post. I didn't write down a list nor keep track of who wanted to donate last time it was mentioned and if you were someone who was interested but no longer want to donate that is completely fine. As before (because our world unfortunately contains bad apples) I will be screenshotting everything for transparency and if anyone has any questions, ask away.

    We'd be buried if all of the rain we got in Jan. had been snow.

    This was today up at my buddy's place near Random Lake. Great day of fishing on the pond and relaxing and then got out on Tacoma International Raceway (the little circuit we cut in the back field last fall) and tore it up.

    Voodoo Blue pops nice against the snow. :thumbsup:
