Your nephew might have some problems (who doesn't).
But I'm thinking that Winter won't be one of them:

No kidding; that would mill into some nice slab wood, you know?!
Tried to figure out whats wrong with my temperature gauge today. New gauge and new coolant sending unit and it reads that my truck is running 240 degrees. yet my thermogun shows the sending unit is at 180 behind it and at the thermostat. SO the search continues to chase that bug.
Installed my new MRAP dryer and got it relocated up higher under the truck so its not hanging down.
Also added a fire extinguisher to the cab in the shifter holder.

I thought they were Ash tree's but I could be wrong because I don't know much about tree's. He doesn't have a sawmill just an outdoor wood burner that heats his house and hot water.

I'm not an arborist, or a lumber expert; but I just don't believe that ash grows to that size (at least not in my limited experience). I'm thinking tobyS is right, and what you got there is Tulip Poplar. But without a leaf or two from those trees, it'll be hard to be sure.
They're both good burning (but Ash grows a little slower, and so it's a little denser and burns hotter). Either way: that's a LOT of chop-sticks.

I always choose that Australian girl's voice on my Garmin GPS. It is somehow just a little more pleasing than the weatherman's voice option.

Thursday night I'll finally be going from a soft top to a hard top.
Anybody have any of those "I wish I had known that" tips before I get started. I've got the complete hardware kit, so no problem there. Looks simple enough.

Get a buddy to help, it's awkward. I did mine in one shot, not two sections, so it might be easier to do in pieces. The bolts behind the drivers seats are a PITA. Don't torque the front holders, they aren't meant to pull, they'll just bend. Carefully seat the weatherstripping before you torque the bolts, it likes to move. The top most likely will not fit like a glove, it's not you. I choose to put some silicone on the mating surfaces then ran two final beads on completion. Mine was a takeoff, so YMMV, but I wanted no leaks, my poor cab had enough in its lifetime before me. I didn't opt to put a screw in the front corners, don't know if that is in the instructions, but I've seen them on a lot of trucks. It was on the old one. Enjoy the new sounds or lack of some.
