Guys, I was a "Blue Nose" in the Navy (I don't remember the artic feeling this cold). But hey, I'm older than dirt now.


Cranked up the 5.9 gasser at zero and warmed her up (no block heater), ran several miles to the store. It cranked fairly easy and made 190, tranny shifted normal.


I have a trip for Wednesday about 150 miles so cranked the kerosene burner up by end of day (heater), made oil pressure to turbo, gone in 60 seconds and took it on a jaunt and ran her at temp 190, all shifts normal.


Today we made it to zero and tomorrow is a balmy 12*F. I hope all have faired well, and I may need to think about a block heater for the gasser.


One has to have options. K.

 

Supposed to be in the 20s tomorrow morning and low 30s throughout the day.

 

Brought the husky in to get her out of the cold, she sure doesn't like being in a cage...

 

I love that you're taking care of your dog but, if there was one dog that wouldn't mind the cold wouldnt it be a husky?

 

I suspect you're right, but with the temps and the way the wind is blowing it was better to bring her in.

Her current area offers very little protection from the wind.

 

My dogs are pathetic. Spoiled little brats.

 

Mine **** and moan, and THINK they want to go outside. Right up until I open the door for them.... Then they look at me like "What? Are you stupid? Open the door to the WARM outside."


They go out, and do their business, but then, they want RIGHT back in.

 

We have to practically push the old lab off the porch and make her go take care of business.

 

My girls are right around 3 years old. They are still young yet. More energy than they know what to do with. If I could find a way to bottle, and sell it, I would be a wealthy man.

 

Sandy, the yellow lab, Is about 12. Poor girl has pretty bad arthritis. Overweight. Old.

Rex is a mutt, but he has too much enegery. Is about 4. And is a 65lb lap dog
