    Looks like there's a different set in Cali. According to this, the lyrics are " North Carolina and south Alabam and little towns ..... " ..... http://www.metrolyrics.com/country-boy-can-survive-lyrics-hank-williams-jr.html

    i use Rain-X deicer, comes in a pump spray bottle.

    but i also soak the window channel to prevent the windows from freezing as well.

    i also carry a cigarette lighter, for my cigars, and frozen locks as well.

    reason why i use the Rain-X deicer, is sometimes the stream from the old fashion cans of deicer aren't good, or sometimes just do not work, and you find that out, when you really needed it.

    sometimes, i would give a quick shot of the cans when i am in the store, and you find out right away whether it's a good can or not, but i have done this, and later, the can was not working.

    so a pump spray for me, is better a choice.

    At least you did not say it was God's country, he would have thrown up. Yes I have been there and it still sucks.

    As for the cleanest air and water...:eek::biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559:

    well I'm going to give the petroleum jelly a whirl. I have locks for trailer, they need a hammer to break em free during the winter I've been using 3 in 1 multi-purpose oil, it works for awhile then stops until its oiled up again..chances are it'll probably act the same, but I'll try it this winter and see for.myself. and no locks don't freeze in most parts of ca or az
