So, the Blue Mule is covered for the winter?

Sort of. I got in the habit of covering it a couple months ago because it was always getting covered in dust. There is a garbage can in front of the truck where Mrs. Rembrant takes the Dyson and dumps it out and then uses compressed air to blow it out and the dust all over everything...lol. That and just the dirt in general that accumulates in a working garage. Dust, sawdust, dirt, leaves, whatever. I just found it easier to whip the sheets off it and it was always shiny clean and ready to roll.

But yes...winter is here. We haven't had any snow yet, but might get a dusting tomorrow. Where I live we usually don't get any snow that sticks and stays until well into January. The road salt is the issue, and if it's not on the road tomorrow it will be soon, and that is the official end of the truck season for me.

So ya, it's covered for the season, but it was kinda covered anyway;).

Makes sense to cover the truck w/that going on.

As for the snow, we have our second round going on as I type.  And this time it has been below freezing for a couple of days so it'll stick.

But we won't get much as I'm sending it on to Jim and then to you, Cory.

I really like that touch, Cory!

Definitely makes the blue mule stand out.

Repros would probably sell well.

I agree, nice touch, and I’d like to have one for my garage.

 It's not mint...a bit dinged up and a couple whiffs of overspray on it, but it fits well with the other roughed up areas on my truck, and my front bumper isn't so bare anymore!

The plate looks quite good, Cory. What you described is known in some circles as "Patina"!
