Made it back from Traverse City, MI. The F-150 performed flawlessly the entire time. Averaged 14 mpg on the way up (cruise set on 79) and 18 mpg on the way home (cruise set on 70). Amazing how much of a difference 9 MPH makes. LOL

I wish I had have taken some pics of my truck in the snow but, we were too busy drinking local beer and celebrating my bro's 40th.

I got mine to do 18.9 on one trip, but I've never seen that again. Cruise also locked at 70, and the wind ay my back.

Suppose to get 9-13" over the next 24hrs. Followed by temps dropping below 0 and windy....happy Groundhog Day!

This ls weird, using the desktop without a keyboard at the moment. Yea, I wasted my last one....out of spares at the moment dang-it! Sucks, I really liked that last one.

The on screen board is rather slow....drag. At least I'm not having to edit now...I think I've found the right gear

Windows 11 is a free upgrade, Brew. If you're running 7, go to 10, then 11. Or if you're going to 10, just got right to 11.

Two weeks ago I upgraded a machine from 7 to 10..... it's still free. Just use the 7 license, and to go to 11 use the 10 license.

Serious question.
If I'm happy with W10, why go to W11 before W10 goes out of maint.?
My machines are old and do not meet the requirements so I would need to load from ISO and lose all my stuff and need to reload (unless there is a newer way I haven't heard about).

As gorgeous as it is up there... I am glad to be back in the warmer temps. 60 here today.
