only when its something you have fixed and then it all goes awary and you have to fix it again.
.......
or at least any time something dosn't work out like you want then it becomes a xtremek project or work!
I resemble that remark. :lol_hitti And yes, you guys have my permission to use "xtremek" to describe your projects going off the rails. In fact, I kind of like it.

And I agree about the snow packed wheels. It brightens up the look and gives it a smoother look.

I so wish I had a pic of my 78 ford f150 that I had in high school a night of drift busting and doughnuts in parking lots and it always had snow packed rims! I remember it started running rough one night so pop the hood and there was snow packed under the hood every where cept the valve cover of the 300 engine it seemed like

I drove "Smooth" (severely dropped '03 F-150) into work during a snowstorm on day. Started it up after work and it sounds like a bunch of screaming cats were under the hood. Opened it up and the snow was packed up to the valve covers.

How did he do?
He won his last match the others he got pinned. But put up a tough fight This was a tourment a d he was in heavy weight class at which is you can weigh from 216 to 285 and he's at 225 trying to get down to 215 to wrestle at that spot so your a light heavy guy wrestle guys who are more heft than you. Tough sledding but its on him to get the weight off and he knows it.

Matt, that brings back some memories. I joined the wrestling team when I was a Junior in high school. I weighed 150 and the kid on the Varsity in that weight class had been a state champion many times since junior high. The rest of the Varsity team beat me in wrestle-offs every time so I wrestled JV. I was better than most of them so I wrestled my way through every class, including the kid in the unlimited weight class. I ended up competing against huge JV kids from other schools but most of them had no stamina so as long as I could stay off my back (and building neck strength to bridge) I could wear them down. Rarely pinned them but won on points by getting out from under them or taking them down. Great life lessons from those matches -- never give up.

I'm surprised you didn't pull it out with a quad.
Not my car and no really good spot to hook.

Plus we just pushed it out down hill and got it back on better traction. Kid was backing down hill and got of to side of driveway in the dark.

They stopped in middle of hill and could not get going again and backup skills not the best.

I'm surprised you were out in it yesterday. I would have thought your temps yesterday would be the same as ours today. Our high today is supposed to be 0*F. We got 1" of snow overnight and I'm not sure I'm going out in it. I'm still warming up my lucky quarter to see if I go out in it, but it's taking a lot longer to get it warm.

This was a 20 min plow job to make the driveway passable for me to get the car out in the morning. The temp was about 12 when I took this Pic. Was all done with driveway plowing and just making a circle pass out by the Meat Chicken coop where this big drift was and I hit it at speed and was 3/4 way through and stop to take the pic. Was'nt stuck the ATV walked right out of this spot.

Thankful My dad had been over early in the day with his Kubota 1100 and V plow and did most of my driveway plowing I only had to open up a few spots that had drifted back in.

Yeah, I broke down and plowed late yesterday afternoon. It was definitely brisk out, guessing in the mid-teens when I was out. I think our high today was -4 at the house. In town it was -1 and we usually run about 3* cooler. Way too cold to be out on the Old Mule plowing the 1" we got overnight. Stay warm. BTW have you seen Josh and Jase? They're in the UP right now.

Very cool that your son got to compete at that level. It was -18*F at the house yesterday when we left. At the corner, about a 1 1/2 mile from the house, it was -21*F. The corner is huge, flat, open fields. In town, it was a balmy -13*F
