    Well…… 8°, and the wind has died down a little bit. Going to 13°. I shut the truck off. I hope this doesn’t bite me in the rear.

    Go out and start it in a bout 4 or so hours, let it warm back up. Rinse and repeat.

    Yeah, I’m going to have to do some thing. I did everything right but I have bad. Bad luck. It will drive me insane. Just thinking about it.

    Yeah I've looked at a few... Want to get one for Glock 19 and one for Colt 1911 as they are really popular models.

    Sometimes, Joey, there's a difference between bad luck and bad decisions; and I don't know if this is the case.
    But, sometimes something breaks and the dude says he needs $200 to fix it.
    And you say, well hell, that's only a $50 part.
    So you go to the part shop and pay $50.
    Then you go to fix it, and in doing so, you break something else.......that costs another $50.
    Then you go to fix it, and find out you don't have the gasket.
    And since it's Sunday, you'll have to wait until Monday to get it.
    Day 3
    You go to fix the original problem, and, Yea!!! Problem fixed.
    Then you go to fix the second problem (that you caused), and you find out you need another part.
    Dealership says they ain't got it, but can have it in a week.......and you think to yourself, "have they never heard of FedEx??".
    So, a week goes by, they get the part and you install it and you're ready to go. 8 days and $100 later, you saved yourself $100.

    So, the moral of the story is, sometimes it's better to suck it up and pay the toll instead of taking the back roads.

    Merry Christmas
