Yea Rich, it is a nasty one out. I get to drive 245 miles a day every day this week in this stuff. I hope my battery holds out. I know my MPG is going to go DOWN. But back to the reason Im here. I did an oil change after 8k miles, and brake pads and rotors all the way around. Its so smooth when I stop now, I love it.

last night and tonight will be the coldest of the week... and I am willing to bet this will be the coldest air we see of the season.

New brakes are nice.

BRRR ITS COLD!
In all my genius-ness I hadn't started my truck since Thursday. Rich I live in Bloomington, guess who's driving the minivan today???? Geez I am a bonehead. And after work its off to the store for a battery.

So yesterday i was in the drive thru getting some foods. All of a sudden i had a weird stumble going on in my blazer. sorta like a random misfire every 5 seconds or so. Almost wanted to stall. I got back to the shop and tinkered with it. Pulled the cap and the little brass terminals were corroded pretty bad. I cleaned em up some with a file and a flathead screwdriver. No more stumbling and idles perfect....Im such a cheap ***.
