Rain and my new truck.

So far so good. My Nissan Xterra is in the shop, and I scored a Nissan pick-up as my rental vehicle. The instruments inside the pick-up are the same as in my Xterra, so it's an easy switch. The only issue is that I keep reaching down to change gears. It's raining here today, and I'm heading into work at my friend's preschool. The tires on this truck are not as "all-weather" as the ones on my Xterra, so I'll drive with extra caution. What are you up to on this rainy Tuesday?

Cold and sunny here. I spent the entire day in bed yesterday to deal with some Ohio Valley crud. I feel much better today!

@TheHorse --- the allergies/sinus issues that most people have around here, even the "healthy" ones. We're one of the worst places in the US for allergy sufferers.

@FourWalls I've been a "snot machine" for the last several months.

@TheHorse We have winter tires in this season, better to follow the rules, if you have an accident and no winter tires in winter, the insurance does not cover.

@LadyDuck I doubt that's the case here. Today's drive to work was uneventful, though.

Yes, I think poor tires were the undoing of the lady who hit me this past Summer.

It didn't rain that much here, but we shut down the outdoor play area early. It looked like it was "going to."

No rain here - or at least "yet" - but it is gray. I know I used to look for the invisible gear and clutch when I started driving automatics again.

@TheHorse It seems likes "guys" adjust fairly quickly with cars. Takes me a while .

It's pretty funny But I was in "automatic" mode by the time I drove home today.

We finally have some sun showing here this afternoon. Did you get the floor hole covered up in that truck

Gloomy and cold here in Ohio. It's been in the teens and 20s the past couple of days. Brrrr. Nothing special planned here.

@TheHorse Yeah; but this winter has been much warmer than usual! It's already January 22; and we've gotten away with a LOT of days above normal.

I did so today, and made it home without any issues. I'm glad that driving this vehicle is similar to driving mine.
