Do not pull into little bars in the winter time in Minn.(Moosebar?)...even for a Hamm's or to use the phone even with autos/pickups parked alluringly out front...those could be Ice-fishing bars hauled onto one of the 10,000 ice-covered lakes...one of our guys did and ended up swimming!. The truck and paper loaded trailer were completely under water. < strongly resembles my baby# 8485

C'MON now! one little trip up I-35 to Duluth, MN around XMAS before ya call it a well-rounded career! Just have a propane torch to unthaw the shifter and a stout cable or rope with hook to yank the fifth wheel so you don't separate your shoulder or rotator cuff...and starter ether; but don't turn off the engine-24/7 if posssible! No need to thump the tires; frozen rubber all sounds alike! Check for ice (look down) on the stirrup or step before alighting from the cab into -40 degrees in poorly plowed truckstops fer that cuppa hot JOE. Do not get stopped for a violation; cops hate getting outta their warm squads and are mad at ya-automatically-ticket pens freeze! < required equipment when the heater dies! REMEMBER ": North Dakota, where the unofficial state motto is: “30 degrees below zero keeps out the riffraff.” Michigan City, Indiana earlier this year I-94...15 semis ...I've seen worse. STAY SAFE!
