But AWD and 4wd is useless remember

Ill gladly take the weight penalty any day. Without it there wouldve been a few times I wouldve been stuck on wet grass.

That doesnt sound like a lot of fun being up there right now. Another reason why I dont want to move any further north than I am right now. Its just cold and windy here, no real precipition but the jobsite was fun earlier. But now my damn dash light says I have low pressure in a tire on my company truck so I guess while I was playing I hit some sort of shrapnel that messed up a tire

I didn't make it in today, got stuck in my driveway this morning. Here in Abilene we got around 6" of sleet and snow in places. The rain we got yesterday is still frozen under all that. I will be getting a 4wd truck. I have been stuck in the snow for the last 3 years in a row. No more. If i only use it one time per year, then oh well at least its there.

I called work earlier and asked if the nightshift is working tonight(my shift) and she said call back around 3 but most likely we would be.
