I might be able to get back to work on the cars this week! its alot easier to get the temp up to 50F from 30F than it is from -10F or even 10F... YAY!!! working weather is coming back to the winter wasteland! I havent been able to get out in the shop for two months now, well not and do anything of importance on the 67 or 71.. I did get the oil changed, brakes fixed, headlight adjusted, and minor crap done to the winter beater, but no fun stuff on the good cars...

This week is different.. I am off to bed to get a good start on it tomorrow! oh today, its after midnight...

It was 89* here in L.A. and I got a little sunburn. Today it was only in the upper 60's. It's funny, when it is in the low 60's and I actually have to wear pants an long sleeves to go work in the garage, I sometimes wonder how people who have real cold deal with it. Brrrr!

Where you at Thumpin455. Looks like NE US type weather. We are at 10F, now, Wait now, 11F WOW heat wave. My cheeks have been cold for about a month now. No suntans here, just hypothermia and frostbite. Well, this week looks better.

Upper Peninsula of Michigan.. We are closer to Wisconsin than Detroit. A bout a mile to the lake from here, and 20 to Marquette, right in the middle of the UP..

The winters here are much milder than Nebraksa where I grew up. Sure we get alot more snow, last year was around 275 inches, this year the global warming has kicked in or something. I only have about two feet out on the yard. Back home that much snow means trucks are covered up on the interestate, every east - west road is blocked, and the drifts will be15-40 feet deep. There arent many trees back home to stop the wind, so the trees that are there simply create drifts. Temps out there get alot lower than here, and alot higher, like Austrailia is right now is July in Nebraska. -30F to 115F is the norm for a year there.

I have a shop that we just insulated to keep the heat down and in. We have wood heat, its nice and cheap but more work, and it takes about 3 hours to warm the shop up enough to take my jacket off. 45F-50F is shirtsleeve weather to me, its the right temp to get things done without sweating..

Oh and the North East has nothing on Nebraska, Kansas, and Iowa for weather, yet they still get all the news reports and people whining about how cold 5F is.. I remember seeing a report like that a few years ago, the same day it was 5F in upstate NY it was -15F ambient with a -35F windchill in Nebraska yet nobody was making news reports and talking about how they will "just survive it" since its just how life is when you live in BFE.. We dont get FEMA officials and stuff when we get blizzards that knock out the power across the state either, its just normal to be without power for a week to a few months in winter..

I like it where I am right now, its much nicer here even if its still colder than the NE.. at least I am out of Nebraska.
