Well Wisconsin was 50 yesterday, Jan 6, so the 67 came out for a 15 mile or so warm up. Not exactly So Calif, but it felt good. Windows down top up. I think that was the first time ever I had my Vette out for a January ride.

I'm with Denis, just a little cold but as long as the wind doesn't blow, not too bad. Yesterday the wind was blowing and no way I wanted to be outside. Felt like Chicago.

I have been repainting interior parts and they just never seem to end, right when I think I am done I find some other part.... I cant wait to install my frozen carpets No heat in my shop and it's been a bear drying paint.........

Sat. went to the Palm Springs Keenel Club. They are having a dog show at the polo grounds this weekend. Weather was great 70's and clear. All the snow birds are coming into town from all over the country, and Canada. The golf courses are looking good. Big goings on in Palm Springs as the Film Festival is under way, all the celebs. are here. and a lot of the folks here help with event.
Going to a play today, Viagra Falls, anybody see it, suppose to be real funny, hope so.
Hope everybody is starting to have a great year no matter where you live.
