Few more pictures from the last week. Nothing to exciting has been going on here.




Two from the other night dealing with our snow/sleet/rain/ice/slush mess.

It looks like your running your truck lights instead of your plow lights? - I like the HID's!

I try and keep an eye out for their trucks to see if I can notice which one might be you.

Anybody seen any weather models for next weekend?

inAccuweather has a 3"-6" snow storm predicted for us. No one else is saying anything.

The plow light adjustments are all rusted up otherwise I'd consider it. Right now their pointed about 20' in front of the plow and I prefer to have a little more time to see what I'm going to hit.

I doubt we will get anything, maybe a salt run at best.

HID bulbs in the plow lights is a good idea. Mine are also pointed to see 20' in front - which is good for plowing, but awful for driving down a road any faster then 3 mph!

I figure my truck lights shine over the plow pretty easily so no need to spend the money on the HID's for the plow. If I ever switch to a different brand where the plow lights come on automatically and I can't select to run my truck lights or I end up with one of the newer flared wing V plows then I'll end up with HID's in the plow lights. For now though my system works and I can see pretty good.

If I spent much time in the same semi I'd be buying HID's for it. Keeps things interesting when the head lights produce about 1 candle power and your trying to hurry.
