    Looks like your neighbors all have the same style 'cookie cutter' homes Nate
    Is all your winter equipment ready to go? snowplows, snowblowers, 4 wheelers and sleds

    C'mon Nate! You can do better than that! For pete's sake, that only looks like a heavy frost! We had that much here last sat. a.m.
    BTW, hope you're feeling better.

    I get the silent (but deadly) treatment. My wife will put on a sweater or blanket and will make herself look chilly, knowing that I will fire up the stove. We have the thermo set at 64, the heat only comes on when we are away or if the the fire goes cold. She doesn't have to say a word :)

    Right where I want to be.
    It's def. a sign nate.
    It's coming, whether we want it or not.
    My wife is usually the one walking around in a t-shirt, while I've already put on my longies.
    She asked for a fire last night while bundled up in a quilt. Weird.
    I willingly obliged.
    :D

    Yeah the houses to the right of me are all pretty similar. Mine isn't or any to the left. 12 or 13 houses in the circle, lots are 1/2 acre-3/4 acre.

    Had a little frost on the jeep windshield this morning. First time this year.
    What kind of lights are the front of your Dodge in the window?

    LightForce. middle ones are 240s and the side ones 170s. I'd need to put them on a few other vehicles (I have 8 trucks and 2 cars) , but they are $$.

    The Dodge headlights are pure crap. Those are new housings even.

    Outside of maybe 20-30 miles of town area in Palmer/Wasilla the roads are pitch black. Even here at home, I can't see to walk 20 ft from the front door to the driveway without a flashlight or turning on the porch light.
