    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    I can find a empty parking lot to do some donuts in your name Ms sue.
    Well,my girlfriend is about to face her 1rst winter storm since she came into the US in spring season so i pretty sure she'll hold down the bunker very tight for sure. LOL
    Was so funny looking at her with all winter gear up.she born surrounded by the caribbean sea back in the margarita island of venezuela where she used to be on short skirts whole day year around.
    I sent an pic of her to the family & all were laughing.

    I feel like an mummy,all wrapped up in cloths she said.
    Florida papi ? She wonder asking me
    Told her :Oh yes,sure !
    but 1rst you got to get your share here baby LOL.

    Hey, Tom--- LOL, your VX looks just like a Ford F-350 under that snow. I was sad to see your backyard canopy crushed from the weight of the snow. Your X-Mas tree and decorations are simply beautiful. God Bless your little heart!!!

    Riff Raff,

    Wifey gets the KUDOS on the Christmas decorations (I'm just the unskilled laborer)

    Canopy was no biggy. Got it for our daughter's graduation party & just left it up since it provided extra shelter for the dogs (3 Golden Retrievers). It was a Walmart cheapo & lasted 2 years so no complaints ... 'cept for cleaning up the mess.

    The front on the RV is actually a E450 Triton V10 (I'll be towing the VX to Moab in 2011 with it). &^$%&^% ... it's an 09 and just got a CEL on it and hafta replace an O2 sensor & 2 coils.

    KAT, at one point, the snow was sticking to it so much that you couldn't even tell it was a Proton. Did a little driving the neighborhood last night after the streets had refrozen. Traction was no problem but the ice chunks made for a VERY rough ride. It was great not having to shovel that section of the driveway ... just up & over. Backing back into that tight spot was a little un-nerving, I actually locked in the transfer case for that part. BTW, posted a few more pix to that same link (daytime shots).

    CobraJet - That's how my back yard looked too ... till the dogs trashed it - they LOVE the snow.

    Tom
