My Screw was too cold to let me in

Last night my truck had 1/4 inch of ice all over it, make's it darn hard to tow my seadoo's to the lake

It was so bad all four doors were ice locked, didn't want to rip the handles off the doors trying to get one open. With one hand holding the lever up and the other pushing on the rightside rear door it finally pop open after a minute.

Looks like I'll be doing it again tomorrow

I know what you mean, I lived in Southern Cal too until I joined the A.F.

Yep we did get some bad weather. No problem here though all I did was open the garage door and start my screw. All doors opened as advertised

Nice to see another person in Abilene and the Air Force.

When I was stationed at Cannon AFB, NM a few times every winter my truck would be encased in 1/2 to 3/4" of ice. Darn sideways blowing rain & snow storms! Used to have to get a hair drier or hot water and thaw the door handle before I could get in. The ice would come off in huge sheets as you drove down the highway... murder on the paint.

I'm a retired AGE guy and was Cobra II back in 2000. But the best job was Facility manager for the LG. One deep positon, one Boss, no EPR's and all the Sq commander's kissing your butt just to get money from the Group Commander

I sure do miss the alert pad and all the nuke's, to heck with SART.

Cruise missiles and a B1 is like a marriage made in heaven
