Coldest day in 2 years+busted jimmy=FROSTBITE

Well, leave it to my stupid truck to break down the night before the coldest day in 2 years. Being a broke *** ****, i could not afford a tow. So what do i do? I drag dean out and we change a fuel pump in the 3 degree weather


took way longer than it should of, but things dont want to come loose when they are frozen!!

All in all we were out in the cold for about 6 hours, i do not wish to do that again, thank you very much

Thanks again to dean for sticking it out with me
