35 now in Grass Pants, OR. It has been 23F this week, some days
warming up to a balmy 40, others to a roasting 50. We're due for a
cold snap next week. Time to stock up my pantry, just in case.
That white stuff makes going up the steep hill to town quite a chore
in a 2x2 truck.

Unless you have some sort of Limited Slip or Locker in that truck,
it's only 1X1. Hit a patch of ice, and you aren't going anywhere.

The nut's an auto-LSD (limited slip), but the stocker Michelins won't
take it up a wet 15 degree farm field slope without a running start.
I'm hoping the Bridgestones I put on late next year (when I get
another spare $800) fare better.
Put a 300 lb plate of steel under the back of the box and the little
blighter will get around a lot better. That's 3' X4' X 5/8"
