Must be the calm before the storm down here...sunny and 73 degrees. Had my sunroof open on the way back from town. Tonight we are getting some severe thunderstorms ahead of a cold front. Tomorrow cold..damp and windy with chill factors in the 30's. Yikes!
This far south we very seldom get to freezing but with the humidity 35 degrees feels much colder. I'm sure JohnBoy in Florida can second that!
I'll confirm that -- I grew up in Minnesota, but I think the coldest day I have ever spent outside was down here in Houston, Texas!
I think it would have been in January of 1997 and we had a big ice storm down here while I was helping build the frame of a home in the parking lot of the Astrodome. We worked outside for two straight days with temps in the 30's and high humidity and it was far colder than just about any day I can remember from back in the Midwest. More of a wet, cuts-right-through-you cold, instead of the dry, freezes-you-to-the-bone kind of cold we'd get back in the Twin Cities.
I'm walking around like the "Hunchback of Notre Dame" today -- spent the last few days up in the Twin Cities working hunched over on my knees driving 2" wood screws through the tongue-and-groove joints of OSB subfloor. I could hardly drag myself out of bed this morning and felt like I was 80-years-old trying to pull myself up out of my plane seat when I got back to Houston today! Guess I do too much work with my mind these days -- I'm not used to that hard manual labor any more.....

Someone in West TX is selling 17x9 Raptor wheels (the non-bead locks) so I decided to see how they would look on my truck since I'm not a fan of doing all black wheels on anything, and Caribou is a hard color to buy for.
I think they look damn good. a 2" level and some 285/70 or 305/70 would be perfect
