I'm sure with that and a cool day I'll be doing some unexpected off-roading!

OK, 42 today but the Pinheads here in town decided to play catch up with the road salt last night and all it did was rain! So the roads were wet and covered with copius amounts of salt. Prospects not looking good!

I'd take it at 5 /10ths anyhow.

I had home made chicken enchiladas with chipotle peppers and a smoky adobo sauce, with Azuki beans slow cooked with bacon. Delicious!

I ruined a set of Dunlop summer tires because I ran them at freezing temperatures. It cracked the sidewalls. These were new tires. 40 plus is what I am thinking...

I think you're right and I think my window is closing. Will probably just settle for Spring as the combo of cold temps/salt is too risky. Was going to take out yesterday but when I got home it was 35 and snowing. Oh well, that's what the Jeep is for!
