Default The weather is really messing me up

I had planned to wait for the cold so I could install Scheumans thermostats. It looks like we will not have a winter this year in Sacramento. I am driving the pickup so much that my gas bill is up. Of course that is made up by my utility bill running at $60 a month. Got to go it is mid 60's again and I can't pass up the opportunity.....LOL

Drive east to southern OHIO, it was -4 this morning, high today 11, you should have plenty of time, high tonight 5, should be in 50's this weekend with rain. Crazy weather, I have drove the 35 Tudor several times this new year on the cold days that have no salt water running across road.

We had 6° in Atlanta last night. Yep, Global warming is really rough on us.

Had to smile at the thought of you Yankee boys complaining about the price of petrol
(gasoline).

Come to the UK and pay $9.83 per gallon. Feel better now? Run a diesel car? 7% more !
