Seeing all that snow and ice make me realize how blessed I am to be in Arizona. Here I am complaining it will be 60° with some wind today. Complaining I am gonna be cold in the garage lol.

You call that snow and ice?
This is snow. This was also a week ago, I've plowed twice since then.
Had a Throttle Position Sensor go "dumb" on me and I never was able to get it to relearn how to differentiate between "0" and "1". Come to find out a minute or more later that they can "die; or go faulty and the only cure is to yank the sucker and plug in a new one. Apparently with this part, the failure rate was so common that they actually carried replacements as standard stock. The TPS problem gave me so much grief that in the end it was probably the leading reason that I scrapped the complete TBI system and returned to a carb. Just too much to tune and not enough fun from using it.
As for snow, BLEAH!! Back in rotation for the next two weeks and today we received as much as a foot of the nasty stuff. Couldn't keep the windshield from icing up and fouling the windshield wipers; cheap Dodge crap, probably not even rated for winter use. NO, no pictures either. Why would I take pictures of something that i detest? The neighbours knew that I was at work and tried to shovel some of the overburden away as a favor but gave it up, do not blame them. Came home at lunch and spent most of it digging out the front driveway. Came home after shift and spent another hour revisiting all the work that had been done at lunch plus the sidewalks around the house and out to the shop.
And for the local TV news hour we have this sweet young thing who absolutely waxes so lyrical about the stuff that she walked to work in it??? Truly bent methinks.
