Hello again;

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. Ours was less than perfect, though there were some very special moments. New year's Eve was also my 49th birthday, but we were pretty exhausted and wound up calling it an early night.
The temperature here has been below -20 C for about 3 weeks now and to say we are ready for some warmer temps is a mild understatement. Cabin fever and hibernation have been constant companions it seems!
My brother came to visit over the holidays and due to the family emergency we were only able to see home for a few days. Couple that with the weather and our exhausted state, we were not the best of hosts. We did get out and do a couple fun things; bowling was a good time and we spent an afternoon in the woods snowshoeing.
The truck, right you probably want to hear about that? I was in the shop after work on Thursday and the cab was done. Chris was just finishing up on the driver's door and it would be ready to go for slick. The next steps will be to remove the cab from the frame and paint the frame.
"Do you know what that means Marty?"
It means I can start bolting stuff on final!!!!

Happy New Year everyone, thanks for checking in.
