Default Just put the truck away (need a hug)

Ok, seriously, I don't need a hug but had to put the truck away in storage tonight. The slushy **** is coming tomorrow and they're gearing up the salt trucks. Eeek! When the TBSS intake comes it'll have to just get put in the truck box 'til Spring when it can be installed. I know we have some other members on the forum who store their trucks in the winter. Who else is there and how do you cope? How do you pass the time by for 5 months while waiting? The price we pay for living in the salt belt I guess.

I start it once maybe and run it for 10 minutes to get oil on everything. It's stored in a concrete floor'd garage protected from the elements but not temperature controlled. I yank the battery out and bring it into the house. It's a pain in the *** to walk an acre with a battery back and forth so I just start it once in late january or thereabouts.

I make money in the winter by pulling out idiots with body kits on their civics. I toss them the chain, and pray they hook it to the kit.
