12 1/2 hours after leaving a great Homecoming event and after taking a number of short cuts that extended my trip by at least 1 hour ,I made it home .
I thought perhaps the truck would run a little easier north bound. as I had unloaded a fair bit of weight in the form of truck parts at the event, but it turns out my gvw. north bound was equal to my gvw. south bound due mainly to the fine and abundant food that was served .
I just have to say , these stovebolters sure know how to make a fellow feel welcome. I'd like to thank the Mullens who hosted the event and the numerous others that were involved for making this past weekend special , it was certainly worth a little driving !

I'm not saying it was cold , but the first thing I did on arrival was to go to the basement and hug my furnace!!
When driving over the peace bridge I noticed there was still a fair bit of ice flowing under it.
Hopefully the weather will warm up before the Winchester event .
