We had a high of 34 yesterday.  Light snow on and off all day, 1 -2 inches maybe as it melted some. Our view west of what we call the Red Rocks has been obscured since Friday. Got a glimpse yesterday, see pic.

Fogged in now, visibility about 500 feet and 30 degrees with a high in the 40's. 

Not complaining, moisture is great. 

I guess we have gotten over 2 feet of snow since Friday night. We are snow bound due to the county hasn't plowed our road. The snow was so deep when I plowed with the ATV I couldn't push it across the road so it is piled up at the end of the driveway. I kept getting stuck if I tried to push the snow across the road to keep the end of the driveway clear so we are waiting on the county to plow the road and remove the snow piled up at the end of the driveway. 

Fun times in the rural mountains.

Here in Texas we had a front move through. Got much needed rain about 3 inches. The morning low was all the down to 69 with the high only in the mid 80s. A jacket was briefly needed. 😎

I lived in California for 7 years. At first not dealing with winter was nice. Then it got boring to me. Yes, sometimes it's a hassle but we love it.

If my wife wasn’t so anti cold I’d be your neighbor. From June until October it’s not boring with eyes towards the gulf. At least October until mid May you couldn’t ask for better weather. Unless snow is a must.

We had light rain yesterday, snow yesterday evening and they plowed our road after an email to the county. Woke up to another 7 inches of snow and it's 29 degrees. More plowing and shoveling, not complaining. 

Edit

Light snow falling and fogged in, no view of Red Rocks.

No winter here, 70's at night 80's day for now, going to get hotter.  We are in a moderate drought.  Lucky I have a shallow well just for the sprinklers.  We got this house three years ago and a sprinkler system is nice.  Just that I had to go back over a bunch of the sprinkler heads, take them out, clean out all the iron that built up and put them back in.  Not to bad of a job.

We had another cold front ( their words) with much needed rain. 58 this morning. Heat wave coming later in the week. I can’t water the lawn during lack of rain. Being surrounded by woods it brings out moles and armadillos tearing up the lawn. The grass bounces back quickly anyway it’s pretty hardy .

We have moles.  Hard to get rid of those little things.  It is also illegal to kill them, which makes no sense. They are everywhere, such an invasive little devil.

We have large aggressive voles up here and they are our natural drainage and venting off of water into this arid ground.  Moles in that Cape Fear River drainage are probably making it naturally more flood resistant.

Only illegal to kill them if you get caught 😉

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      I had a little bit of time before I left for work this morning, so I plugged the scanner back in, and I selected Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra, and the very first option was for a 2026 so I selected that one and I seen at the bottom it had the option for psi change unlike in the 2026 GMC Sierra, I selected that option and it took a little longer than the usual vehicle not supported, and sure enough I got into it, and it let my change the psi values.. I no longer have the low psi warning light!   Thank you for recommending me to try it under Chevrolet instead! I can confirm this device does work for a 2026 GMC Sierra 2500 hd 6.6 diesel  just have to select Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra.   Maybe I'll contact Autel and let them know of that issue and maybe they will fix it for the GMC option  because some people probably return the scanner due to it not working under GMC Sierra.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      I just did a little bit more research, and it seems that this Avalanche is not a Global-A vehicle, because the charts seem to list several models that were Global-A starting in 2010, but the Avalanche is not on there. And even similar models such as the Silverado are not on the Global -A platform until later in 2013. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      Yes, the 2007 is a GMT 900. Originally I had ruled out computers/compatibility as a problem because I did not change over any computers, only the engine. I know that the motors are different codes, but it seems like the lmg to lc9 is a fairly common swap, at least from what I can read online. I'm using all the wiring and sensors from the 2010 vehicle, as well as the computers (the only exception to that being the MAP sensor).

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      By newdude · Posted

      Real Truck handles the warranty via GM.  We don't submit a warranty claim with GM, we have to submit it with Real Truck with a specific email/phone number.  Real Truck determines if the issue is covered or not based on the issue and pictures submitted.

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      Some clarification may help with some of these issues.   - Rev Industries is/was the division of BAK (now Realtruck) that makes covers under the OEM names.  So if you see one with a Ford logo on it, or if you are buying the GM Accessories cover, you are essentially buying a BAK G2 cover with different branding.   - Rev Industries now markets under RealTruck "Advantage."   - As of May 1, 2025, the Advantage covers now have a 5 year warranty.  Anything before that was a 36/36K warranty.   - Parts for the covers are available from Realtruck or BAK.  The email address to reach them is [email protected] or you can call them at 818-365-9000   - If the entire cover has to be replaced, you have to go through your local GM dealer.  Service dept opens an RO, notes the damage and submits it as a warranty claim.  Keep your paperwork handy so they can confirm when you purchased it and it's within the warranty timeframe.  Once the warranty claim is approved, Parts orders the replacement cover.  When it arrives at the dealership, service will remove and install the new one for free as labor is included under warranty.   - The Advantage covers are not the latest and greatest Gen 3 covers.  They still use the old school clamps, elevator bolts, etc...If you want the newer technology, consider buying your cover in the aftermarket world.  That way, if you have an issue you can deal directly with the manufacturer.   - Finally, RealTruck has a program with many of their authorized dealers that doubles the warranty to 10 years if the authorized dealer does the install.     Hope this helps.
