Winter Storm Warning

Hi folks!
Wel, I am home and the weather man is calling for a lot of snow. I had to get a windshield replaced on the drivers side, so the Cascadia is in the shop. It will be ready this morning. Stoops Freightliner get you in the shop as quickly as possible. Jeff Jacobs the service manger takes real good care of you.
Until next time be safe.
Dick
