It was changed to presidents day to honer all of them on one holiday rather than have multiple federal holidays a year for dead presidents

I thought the Hallmark greeting card company and the Furniture industry changed it.. I didn't know it went thru process of change.. I stand corrected

At Wally world in Toledo Ohio. Just got some great news, after a long search, if all goes well by spring I'll finally have cruise control. My foot and leg tingle with excitement lol.

On another note Walmart has its bathing suits out, I feel warmer already

Leg 2 almost didn't get their freight this morning.. But it had to be done even at zero degrees.. Barns doors had to be pryed open..I think that's the coldest I've ever done it.. Side box doors and sleeper door still welded shut..lol

Access doors do get a cleaning a few times of year with the armour-all but no not lately...Barn doors never.

when I did locals in the days of yore....One truck was a 28' box with no less 4 side doors!! for curbside deliveries....used to take 5th axel grease and smear the seals with it....they never froze in Canadian weather

I can see that working and working well. But seals/gaskets I have in place now are of the home depot variety designed to stop drafts. Doors and Header rail are no longer a exact fit thanks too many fork trucks. Today properly was my first real issue on getting them open,and its not like I shouldn't have seen it coming. Simply opening them at the end of the wash and shaking some water off may have helped.:D
