Red out today enjoying the weather. Most of the leaves have finally dropped (most into my freaking yard). Tonneau goes on tomorrow (drying right now===went with the Rhino liner spray. Seems to be okay right now. At least it's paintable for next summer. Looks like it's bath time for the wheels at least, lol.
Not this year. My blue one will be the sit out the winter truck. We just put back on the shell today and get it ready for the winter (fuel stabilizer etc). Red is winter ready with the exception of still running the Bridgestones. I have my Hakka's ready to go on, but today was too nice to do that, lol. Of course I'll wait until it snows, but that's normal for me.

Ouch. It's an awfully nice 20 year old truck to submit to an Alaskan winter. I understand needs though.
EDIT: I can't get my limited time on treeless Shemya and Adak out of my head when I see your pictures. lol
My kid has been using my old laptop (1525) w/Vista for the last 3 weeks. No complaints... yet lol. Her machine needs a keyboard...haven't got around to it yet. Guess I'm waiting for more pressure with getting hers back up to snuff. Have to say, that 1525 has always been a good little LT.
Yep, we still have some. Working on getting them swapped out for Win10s. I usually have the client buy a few new PCs, then move the higher end users to those. I then take their PCs and re-load them with Win 10 and recycle them to the next tier of user etc. That way everyone gets an upgrade for minimal money spent. This only works if the PCs are new enough to hand down of course. For opening Word, Outlook etc. anything 4th gen or newer Core I-x will get re-used. For the ditch diggers that only open one app to update their timesheet, I may even go 2nd or 3rd gen if I don't have enough newer PCs.

Alaskan winters have become almost half of what they used to be, at least here in Anchorage and the Valley areas. In 2000, not once did the temp go below Zero for the whole winter. It rained most of the time. The snow was ice more than it was snow. The Snowmobile dealers have been closing right and left. The bigger ones are still around, but they now sell more Side by Sides than snow machines. It's changed.
We don't use salt in our sand, we have a liquid that is cheaper and easier to spread. No more rusted out auto bodies.
So other than the possibility of an accident, it's no different than summer driving anymore. We just have to watch out for new residents who don't know how to drive on snow or black ice. Hell, even the most experienced have first-day oopses, lol. In 2010, I was able to drive my Mustang the whole winter. Just not a lot of snow, and lots of clear highways and city roads.
