12-6 Bear Lake Bust

[SkunkedAgain]

Maybe I made it unclear, I didn't catch the 32"er, it was a tracker boat with 3 guys in it... I would have been thrilled with that... I brought home the skunk....

Ah, misunderstood.  Sorry.

No worries, sorry I didn't write effectively... Always been one of my weaknesses... kind of like catching fish... Always want to do well, but quite often it doesn't happen that way...Later Jeff

You made a comment about having slick or ball tires, sounds like that wasn't much of a problem for you, that's good, too bad the catching wasn't better. By the way, what kind of truck did you buy?

Hey Curt, the truck has pretty good tread on the tires but those Michelin tires are not good in the snow, they are slicker than snot... But I drove slow on the way over so they must have been kept in the traction limits so I didn't have a problem... I usually pass several trucks going through the canyon, this time I got passed by two trucks...So I must have been driving slower... After last year having my truck break lose on two turns on the same trip across the canyon on what looked like bare and dry roads, I've learned to slow down and be a little more cautious in the canyon... It scared me pretty good last year...

My new truck is a white Chevy and it's growing on me, I wanted a GMC again (like their looks better), but the Denali I found was $8k more and I was afraid all the fancy stuff would break on me, since I'm not that careful and live in the mud on the farm... So I got a more plane jane truck without as many options, I think it will be great for me.  I do need to get some better tires and running boards because I'm not tall enough to get into it without  a step or having to pull myself up over the seat... However, I do keep finding different options that I thought were cool on other trucks, that I go to try and find they aren't on this one... Divantage of test driving lots of different vehicles, but I wasn't going to get a diesel either, until I test drove the Denali with the Duramax and that truck sort of changed my mind, so glad I did some test driving... I was afraid of diesel since I had a Ford diesel that wouldn't start from October to April due to the cold temperatures, but I ended up talking with a friend that has run the Duramax and told me that his never has had a problem starting even on the 30 below mornings last winter and his truck wasn't plugged in or kept in the warm garage either... So I'm hoping I don't get out on a cold fishing trip somewhere and find out mine won't start... If I don't run into that issue, I'm going to really like this truck...

Sorry got a little carried away, when all you wanted was Chevy... Later Jeff
