Got the truck (mostly) ready for winter. Swapped tires, new front brakes, new windshield wipers (that was over the weekend) and changed oil, transmission and brake fluid. In a couple of weeks I'm going to have an alignment done. I had planned to have that done this time, but then they discovered...

Oh, 100%, but it was the fluff-ball tires that gave it away for me. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have enough traction to climb over the microscopic elevation of a painted line.

Happy Remembrance Day! Because every day we should remember those who gave their todays so that we could have our tomorrows.

Not trying to hate on anyone, but wow...

That's not entirely true. Some of your favorite words are directly lifted from French: Blonde, brunette, lingerie, etc.... And, of course, there's @AzScorpion's personal favorite: poutine!

Eh oui, c'en est-tu de la misère avec ces têtes carrées. N'en faut qu'un pour rouspéter, et c'est la galère pour tout le monde.

That looks great, but the fact that the grass grows through it would make it a no-go up here. Generally speaking, parking on grass is prohibited all over Ontario, although it is a municipally-regulated matter and so might be permissible in some smaller/more rural areas.

ATs are fine for warmer winters, but up here we have to switch out between summer and winter tires. Basically (and this is admittedly very simplified), the problem is that when it gets too cold (i.e. under 7C or 46F), the rubber in regular tires (what we call "summer tires") "shrinks" too much...

That's already on the work order, because I noticed the other day that he pulls to the right in the straightaways. New summer tires are in the spring budget.

We had our first decent snowfall of the year. I'm still on the summer tires. Winter tires are going on this week.

Those appear to be the same that I have, so I would say LED.

Do you have a picture of them? This is a picture of mine and @DukeCanBuildit. Mine (left) has the LED that comes standard with a Lariat trim, whereas his (right) are, I believe, either halogen or xenon; he can confirm.

Yeah, I was thinking that Doc had expanded his menu, too. Was definitely not expecting this. Get well soon, Doc.

Now, the real question that you forgot/chose not to answer: Did you find the 10mm again?

Several times a year I make the 1100+ km trek down to the folk's place in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC On the way down once; not too happy about being left out in the cold rain while we're inside having a nice, warm meal. Then there's the camping trips all over Ontario; this one's in Algonquin

NGL, this is exactly how the women in my household expect me to take care of a little bitty spider

With Remembrance Day coming up, the best mod that I've done over the years in both the Ranger and its predecessor was to add poppies every year, because remembering those who gave it all isn't just for one day a year.
