    for now :biggrin_25525: Soon it'll be snowing like a sum beach, -40* with 50mph winds and a little ice just to mess with ya :biggrin_25523:

    Missoula and Helena have nice yards kinda except when it rains and gets muddy or when it its convered in ice and snow, then there fun! :biggrin_2559: Last year the day i got this new(er) truck i had to chain up to drop a fully loaded HEAVY trailer :biggrin_2554:

    I lucked out last winter everytime i was up there the weather has half decent.
