I did an inventory of all the winter supplies in my truck.

 


This morning, I awoke to the temperature being 58 degrees.  I realize that fall is very close and it's time to begin putting all my winter gear together. In the cold season...you can never be too prepared.

 

 

 

 

      Flashlight with an exta set of fresh batteries               First Aid Kit always a must
             Multiple pairs of insulated socks                       Jumper Cables
               Two pairs of insulated boots                      Insulated face mask
      A candle which may be just enough heat to prevent frost bite     A good working lighter... maybe two of them.
Items added: thermal underwear, insulated ski bibs and ski goggles.                      My trusty shovel                          

 

 

 

 

                      There are times like this when you need all the winter gear you can get.

Yes Henry, we needed to run the webasto last night for heat. Going home to gather up the winter clothing items. There goes all my closet space :{. Will be installing chain racks on the trailer and put our bikinis in storage!

Wow Henry and people say I carry a lot of stuff! Just kidding all of that is needed. We will be going home next week and gathering up our winter supplies and Bob will be installing our Onspot Chains. We can never be prepared enough when stuck in snow drift like your picture, I would have been very nervous.

Yes Henry, winter is very close. It's already cooler and the rain has started out here. I'm not ready for winter yet, or should I say I don't want winter to be here yet.
