Low 30’s today. Made smoke at the range. Then took the long way home back behind the mountain range. Sign said narrow road, steep cliffs and blind corners… hello Jeep! :)

Yup! that's fun. I'm disappointed we didn't get the snow that was predicted here today. I wanted to go explore. ;)

BF Goodrich KM2's on the Jeep: I've never run these tires before on any trucks, always had Goodyear Duratracs. But so far so good on & off road. Waiting for some serious snow now. :)

Lots of reviews both good and bad in snow. We'll see.

That's what I was going to say. Good looking tires but Ouch,$$$, but I was recently quoted $950 for a set of Performance All-Seasons for my Miata so I guess it's not really that bad for a set of large tires.

Good morning, 34° here and should get to near the mid 60s with a lot of sunshine 🌞.

21°F, Barometer, 29.83, Humidity 93%in
Sunny, with a high near 45. West wind 5 to 10 mph becoming south in the afternoon.
Coffee is done and now I'm getting ready to go to the only Cracker Barrel in Minnesota to have breakfast with a bunch
of retired Air Traffic Controllers. Once a month we do this and it's always fun.
Then I'll get the Winnebago out and we'll pack this afternoon and leave tomorrow morning for our trip.

Tires are getting way to expensive for what they are. I'm sure the markup on them is phenomenal. It was 44° this morning on the dog walk. I've got to get after the lawn today. I've got too many weeds growing in the back yard. I've had breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast and coffee. Now I'm off to Home Depot to get some weed n' feed fertilizer to put down afterwards. I don't know which is worse dealing with clearing snow or having to do lawn work all year around.

Woke up to 30 and a headache, self inflicted. :lol:

It was supposed to be rainy/snowy today but after just a brief sprinkle it’s partly sunny out there. Just might get outside after-all.

For heavens sake don't trust him. Those guys will rob you blind.🤣
I'm not sure we'll make it that far south. My friend has had a stroke and they own a home up northwest of Austin. It all depends where he and his Wife are when we get there. He can't drive anymore so she has to drive their motorhome. I'll keep you advised. I would love to visit you down there.
