Mild day out so...

[Case75]

...I fired up the Stingray and backed her out of the garage. Let it come all the way up to temp. It was great winter therapy to hear it runnning; especially when I gave the throttle a few blips to hear those Magnaflows.

The sad part was putting her back into the garage.

Had the same pleasure yesterday, Greg and yes it was great therapy for the winter blues.
After a month and a half of hibernation, she fired right up -- Took about 10 minutes to get the oil up to temp too.

Can't wait for spring.

Two laps around the driveway here......... Hit 14 degrees here today.

man, you lads are lucky !!! it was too sloppy around here to even get the backhoe out today.

It's been awesome out lately. I was in a t-shirt and light hoodie throwing stuff out at the dump today. I am jealous of you guys who were able to sit in your cats and start them.

My winter project is renovating the garage. Today we went and got another six foot long tool cabinet with wood top along with a four foot wide six foot high storage cabinet. I'll probably pick up a couple of 28" wall cabinets tomorrow when we are in town. The old shelves I nailed up years ago just weren't getting the job done. Monday, it's back to doing some stud wall and drywall work and a mountain of drywall joint filling and sanding. I sure could do with some help. Hint, Hint, Hint. No? Thought so. The sanding is one despicable job. I'll be some glad when that last paint goes on. It makes the time fly though and the place will start to look a little civilized after 30 years of being a dirty old work shop. It was far too nice out with 50+ degree weather to be working inside.

drywall mud - yecchh if i have anything left in the budget i will go with steel, the menonites [ stoller i think is the name ] on glen arm road have good pricing. there is also a place in havelock. my buddy that stores my car for me installed a ceiling using non - vented aluminum soffit - it's beautiful. of course he used to be a builder/contractor.

I started mine and backed it out of the garage yesterday. I shouldn't have done it, now I want to go for

If the roads stay clean and dry for a few days this week, I WILL be going for a spin ! !

 

[CCO]

Not bad again today but it's not expected to last -- snow and rain again tonight and much colder temps.

Nice while it lasts tho.

Well one consolation is that January does seem to be whipping by quite quickly so far .... and Feb. is a short month ...

I'm betting April will be the beginning of summer !

Amen -- I'm living for it.

I'm hoping March has some decent 'vette weather too.

Won't be long now whatever mother nature has in store for us.

In case you didn't notice, the days are a couple of minutes longer already. Spring is on its way.

 

[FordPrefect]

warm here today after that record rainfall we got last night, no snow in sight at all ... well at least until next weekend.

With days like this I start to question why I took the car off the road at all.

It crossed my mind too to get the damned thing insured again. YOLO.

Guess what I did today ... ???

Yup , you're right ! I took 'er out for a spin .. The roads were clear and dry, and I just couldn't resist .

It was awesome ! !

You can tell you're old when the main thing on your mind is driving a car ........

 

[buckhorn76]

when the really good weather hits, it should be nice cruising the terra cotta area jim !!!

 

[UncleJung]

Yes It is a very nice area, and I'm very close but the weekends are pretty much hopeless... bumper to bumper traffic !

Another plus for retirement though ... I can cruise there on a weekday !

 

[CCO]

Watch out with those summer tires : they don't like temps much below +10C -- traction is very poor the colder it gets (in case you didn't notice).

Glad you had some seat time in that bad boy -- Gonna be a great summer.
