So how much snow did everyone get out of last nights snow?

 

We got only 1/4" around our house more up towards Fort Collins.  If you all haven't figured me out yet you know that this was great hunting weather........  We'll the wife decides to tell me at 3:00 that we were going to the movies with friends.  Then she informs me we are going to watch CHICAGO!!  :cheers::wtf: We'll you could tell I wasn't happy.  Although the movie was good, on the way I watched numerous flocks of geese fly so low I couldn't nabed them out the window  :lol:   So my quest this week is to "HARVEST" a goose.

 

Thanks  let me know on the snow........

we got dump on in Boulder, but that was yesterday and last night.  right now it is sunny out and all the trees are dripping.  If it is like any other day after, most of the snow will be melted by sun down

 

Sucks on the hunting thing dude.  I really need to try goose hunting one of these days.  Sounds like fun.

Accumulation varied from about 2" at thinnest spot on driveway to 9-10" on the north side of a shrub, where the side walk is, of course!  Probably 4" most places.

 

Already got all the goose I want to eat for awhile...like you said, they were flyin low! :smash:   I haven't been to a movie theater in more than a year...it's just too big a hassle with the 2 boys and school.  If I did go I'd probably  :smash:

Well we got the big dumping last night...............

 

Where I live at we got around 6"  To the west around Fort Collins they got close to a foot or more........  The drive in this morning from the east to Fort collins was  great.....

No problem for the truck and even got to play in the mud on the way..........

 

I realized 1 thing today........  FIRESTONE tires S**K.....

 

Need to get some BFG's..  The Highway tires make it a little sloppy side to side.

Oh Yes we have SNOW!

 

Started with a little over an inch of rain in the guage on Monday and didn't stop till we had 23" on the level in the yard.  On the north side of the shed (which is the side with the doors) it was piled right up to 6'...guess where the snowblower was? :chevy:

 

Ran the blower for about 5 hours until the belt that drives the auger broke...then moved it one scoop shovelful at a time until dark...I'm a bit sore.

 

The good news is that the old '91, with 4 snows on  and about 1,000# in back did a fine job of breaking trail yesterday morning, and of getting me to work today...only 15% of us made it in...I may have the only 2WD vehicle in the parking structure!

 

Heaviest snow I've ever shoveled...and that includes the May blizzard in '83.  The news guys were funny...acted like it had never snowed in Colorado before. :flag: Anyone who was here in '82-'83 or '83-'84 has seen more snow...maybe not all from one storm, but it snowed at Thanksgiving '83 and there were still snow piles on the north sides of things on graduation day in June...this'll probably be gone by Monday.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
