Thanks for the welcome from everybody! It looks like my new Open Range won't be here until next week. Hopefully the freight company will be able to dodge all the weather that's happening throughout the central part of the country. It's coming from the factory in Gallatin, Mo. No tornado alerts that I've seen so far from that area. I know that can change in a heartbeat. I don't think I would be able to sleep a wink living under the constant threat of bad weather. Here in Citrus Heights, CA (a suburb of Sacramento) we don't have anything that comes close to those kind of conditions. Heat is our constant companion around here for 4-5 months. That's pretty much our bad weather. Anyway, looking to pick up some tips from all you fine people!
