Popular Post smudge ★ Posted November 15, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted November 15, 2021 It's been a little tough feeling truly happy these past few months thanks to my stupid job. But yesterday, this snow made me feel really good inside. I don't know why, but it did. Went to camp with no real plans (firearm deer season is no time to play in the woods). Put out sunflower seeds for the birds and squirrels, hung out in the shed for a little while, watched football in camp with HoSmudge, went for a walk (had to get SOME outdoor time,stayed on our 40 and the road), and picked up sandwiches and a pasty from Jubilee foods in Ishpeming on my way home. Hung out with the cats at home and watched Sunday Night Football. It was a good day to be a Yooper. 15 1 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post smudge ★ Posted November 15, 2021 Author Popular Post Share #12 Posted November 15, 2021 @donkpow you should hear the locals say it. They put an extra R in it: Ishpeming. 🤷♂️ @bikeman564™ yes, I believe all things work. The climate controls have their numbers. The seats heat. I don't expect the V6 to switch back and forth with V4 for another 20,000 miles at least. HoSmudge's Silverado didn't start doing the V8/V4 for quite some time. I am really enjoying the updated vehicle. Really snappy. Fun. @Philander Seabury thanks. I'm really liking it too. It's much more of a cherry red in the sun. I like the black and dark gray accents. I'm thinking of the simple Chevy fender flares. @Kirby oh my gosh. My soul and my heart could use many many more days like Sunday. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would actually rather have a cooled steering wheel! I guess any kind of cover would help limit the solar radiation. I guess I need to use the sun thinghy for the windshield, but that is a pain. A simple steering wheel cover would be a lot more convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I got real lucky. I got the truck ridiculously quickly after ordering it, and it seems to have all the working stuff. I'm not sure but I think a guy who is on the Colorado Fans forum and works on the Colorado line in Wentzville MO hooked me up. He asked for my build number, and I gave it to him. The only wait I had was the three week shut down mid September. Ya, I think he hooked me up. I didn't come right out and ask him, but I did PM him and thank him. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like radio, they talk to much and there are commercials and you have no control over what they play. I have playlists on my phone or I can even play my whole library on shuffle if I was driving across the country. If I put on a playlist of say folk music, after the list has played out Apple Music will start playing folk music without saying a word. Same thing with whatever type of music I pick or I can select any music in the world and Apple Music will play it. If I get a phone call I don’t have to touch my phone to answer it (usually a doctors office these days.) If I want to make a call (very seldom but it has happened) I just say hey Siri call Ben. Now I could do that without blue teeth but I would still have to take my eye off the road to hit the speaker button. (Come to think of it owl bet Siri could do that for me, owl have to try that sometime). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All new vehicles have blue tooth, and also usb ports. I could load up a flash drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
