Come on down, a little cold at 70 degrees but a nice sunny day with very few clouds. Think I'll take the 36 roadster out for a ride. Maybe have a cookout by the pool later. Sure nice to live in paradise. G.M.

Just fired up 80,000 btu propane in one garage bay, 24,000 btu in other garage bay. Don't want to spend another Sunday on the couch. Wish me luck.

I guess I better not complain about Atlanta weather then. Not that cold, but not as warm as Tampa either.

Here in Central Oregon we've been in the 50's and 60's for a while. Way too warm and precious little snow, apparently the East coast has been hogging it. The local ski area only has about 4' instead of 10 to 12'. If this keeps up we won't be able to shower or brush our teeth much less wash the Ford this summer. As the local skiers say "pray for snow".

I really feel for you guys back east (my daughter lives in NY) It is in upper 50s here recently. and expect upper 60s on coast today. Really unusual for Oregon this time of year. It was in 20s early November, thought it would be a cold winter, but hasn't been below freezing since then.

Be safe!

The cold and snow may not be good for the car hobby, but it enables me to make some more money pushing snow around. It also makes for time in garage to restore some more trucks
