The First Day Of Spring?


It was a balmy 70 degrees yesterday. This is today, the first day of spring, Oklahoma style!

Re: The First Day Of Spring?


It was 70 and sunny here too, I would rather have the colder weather though! I miss winter already!

Jay, did you have that mud airbrushed on your truck? Every time I see it, it has the exact same mud spray on it!

80 degrees today. I had to take off my shirt, it was too hot. I got a bit of a sunburn and I should have gone to the beach, but I wasn't finished fixing up the boat. I did break some speed limits in the convertible though. Eat yer hearts out.

joasis -

After a few recent 60+ degree days and no snow on the ground, we will probably get a quick snow in the next week or so, but the ice is going out early. At least we will look like you for a day or so.

Re: The First Day Of Spring?


Looks a lot like Tennessee mud. I haven't bothered washing it off my truck for about 2 months now. I thought I might do it today, but rain predicted tommorrow, so what's the point.

Only problem is when it rains while I am parked on our concrete driveway, it leaves a pile of mud under the truck, then my wife complains when she has to drive thru it.

We had the same weather here in Michigan, Mid 60s friday, woke up to snow yesterday.

As far as loading, looks alright, but i prefer the skid on first, and backed on. That way you can run the mini in bucket if you need to get the weight moved around, or keep the boom inside the footprint of the trailer
