Default I couldn't resist

I came home last night... the roads were dry and was mild outside... I watched a bit a TV...Then I went to the garage...ripped of the Car cover..Hooked up the baterry and went for a Half hour ride...

It was a nice escape from reality!!

It's hard storing a car all winter!!! LOL

not supposed to rain today, and should get up to 50, I think I'll do the same and bring it to work. I can bring it into the warehouse so I won't have to worry.

It may get cold here in Virginia (not that cold) but I never put my baby up for the winter. I just slap the hardtop on and go. It seems I never complain about the heat in the cockpit in January.
