Hard to keep up here, got to the naked beautiful Helenwoods on the bike section and when nips were mentioned I got side tracked for a bit..

Al..who thinks having a anatomy class in braille with the lovely Helenwoods might be nice.

oh..26 degree's in downtown Mpls, global warming is upon us.

Go Pack.

We looked too, but to expensive (for the size) and was just too small for us. But I do like them, especially for their longevity.

V-6, 270 HP, 9 speed tranny, independent suspension, rear differential lockout... comes with AT tires on 17" rims... gas mileage could exceed 25 mpg depending on how heavy your foot is... I don't expect to exceed it...

Not too bad. We are on a heat stretch. Looks like another week of above freezing temps. Then we should hit the deep freeze for the remainder of winter. With little to no snow, makes for a very long winter.

Yesterday, went out and groomed one of our sled trails. Was a good time. Wife and kid with his GF came along and so did a great friend and his daughter. Had a nice hot dog roast over a fire and a couple "teas", five hours later back home.

How is your weekend going?

I looked too, and to get one that would tow anything sizable, you need the 5.7 Hemi, and those are terribly expensive.

There's a reason the GC is one of the top selling vehicles among the rich, per the WSJ.

Sounds like a good setup.
