Where in Texas is it going to be 70? It is about 40 degrees here in South Texas, and gray cloudy. Is there going to be a weather change I don't know about, I thought it was going to stay like this forever. It has been raining or cold, or cold and raining for the last two weeks. I did actually see the sun for about 15 minutes this morning when the cold front came through, then the clouds came.

I have nearly anything that can be unbolted powder coated gloss black. That includes the entire front end, both cross members and umpteen brackets. My son runs a powder coat department so as long as I want black it is no problem. The problem comes with changing colors.
As for temperature it was minus 21 degrees C last night or about -6 F. 32 F is a heat wave.

Butch, stop by this weekend, I'll be painting the inside of my fountain and completing a test assembly. She'll be done soon. Then garage and finally my AC.
Norval, 32 for a high is just silly. You should really move about 1200 miles south (~2000 kilometers :lol: )

Re: powder coated a few things. (74-Roadster)
Glenn I like the cold. The skies are blue the lanscape is white and clean. Dressed properly you feel nothing. Strider and I get out for long runs through the snow. It is about 30F out today and if feels warm.
Winter is relaxing time of year, no yard work. I have a tractor to blow snow and even that is fun.
Also the changing seasons make you appreciate nice days. Everyday hot would get boring.
I also have a 600 Polis snowmobile in the garage that can cruise comfortably at 80 mph. I don't put at many miles on it as I do on Strider but if I get the desire for speed I can head out on that.
Have a great weekend everybody. I am off in a few minutes for a long run in the snow. :) :)
