My dad and his buddies (grumpy old men) drove down on Sunday to do some golfing at Myrtle Beach. Came home already last night.

Ok, now we just need one of those Southern California "I drive my vette all year" types to chime in and talk about how they took a cruise in the warm sunshine today with the top down. :mad :lolg:

I'm in Southern (very) Georgia and it's supposed to get to 12F. I moved from Minot, ND to get away from this poopie. If you got a heated garage, I suggest you use it :eek: :crazy: :flag
