The Dynomax kit is fairly reasonable, but it's probably only aluminized. (Weird, but their "Limited Lifetime Warranty" doesn't mention the word rust as an exclusion, but appears that it may only cover the muffler, and not the pipes.) Without the salt here, maybe it would last, but I'm not sure.
I'll probably use Bud's. They knew what they were talking about, for sure. Hard to believe aluminized is even a thing anymore, but here we are.

Schumacher's in WP does pretty good work.

Goin garage cleaning and probably hauling crap to the dump...I think. He's prob going to try and give me stuff all day... that I don't want.

Step 1, wash the truck first....
Step 2, make my way there slowly...
Step 3, cancel on the way if I can think a reason..

Hey Brew... were you on your way over here to help me clean up my garage?

It decided to snow last night. Not much, but it wasn't expected.

I just got back in from clearing 6-7 inches while another inch or so fell in its place. I have to stay ahead of it because the ATV doesn't like to push more than about 8". (The plow blade just isn't big enough to handle a lot more than that.). The forecast said 4-8", but I'm betting on more.




​​​​​​EDIT: Lol! This pic just popped up in my Photos app: 8 years ago today.....

We just got enough to say "it snowed". It literally rained all day, then turned to snow late last night. We are supposed to get some snow starting on Wednesday.



I really need to get out there in the garage and start organizing better.

It's still coming down.





I already cleaned the truck off once. Heading out for plowing round #3 in a few. 🙄

My butt stayed planted in the recliner 80% of the day. I had a rare "I don't feel like doing a damn thing" kind of day.

I'm glad that the snow we got throughout the day has not accumulated much.
