Default Weather here stinks....

Been 60-70 very day this week and I've been driving with the top down. I can't get any work started on the Corvette. Way too nice to put it n the garage and start ripping the guts out. :cheers:

Don't worry Steve, you're new to NE. The weather isn't going to stay this way for long.

Amazing, it's December and I'm riding my bicycle wearing a T-shirt... Gary is wrong: the weather will remain good throughout the Winter, and there'll be no snow. There'll be no snow. There'll be no snow.... Keep repeating that, and someone outta listen.... :jester

Alrite then, so I'll think of you when I'm melting my brains under the Brazilian summer scalding sun during the holidays! :jester :seeya

Seriously, though, all I want is no snow till I come back in January, so I can have one last Corvette run--Boston --> Cape Cod, T-tops off, fresh ice cold air blowing, ya know...:crazy:--before I put the car away for the "project season". Is it too much to ask for? Is it? It isn't, is it? :lol:

OK guys, it's all over. The dream is over. White scheiße is falling from the sky.... :boxing :cuss :cuss

And it's all Ol' Gary's fault, 'cuz he did not have Faith! :lol: :jester

Paul: happy skiing! Me myself prefers the warm weather, where I'm able to stay outdoors bare-chested working out: lifting a glass of ice cold beer from a table to my mouth :cheers: and exercising my neck as I move my head from one shoulder to another following the cuties that pass by in minimal clothing.... :yesnod: :lol:

Well Pedro there was a little dusting on the roads down here today, but our club still had 22 cars on the road for a toy run for the CT State Police. It was good to get the vette on the road again but I could hear the rear starting to whine going down the road. :smash:

Just some flurries this morning down on the coast. Still, I think I can finally start to plan that engine rebuild. :smash:

Good to be back in the NE and see snow.
