Perhaps.

Watch the Great lakes region threads for postings by Joel (JG358 or something like that - send him a message to put you on his mailing list).

I normally go to 1 or two of his cruises each year (he has at least 6 a year)

Compared to some of you guys we are warm & balmy, but still friggin cold. This thing has to be a lie, the wind is definitely faster than 5mph!

Also, this thing was a real PIA to make show up, so much for copy & paste. Thanks for the help with gettign it posted. I had to remove alot of the stuff from the original link.

Oh, I forgot, spring can not get here fast enough! I don't even have a garage to work in to help pass the season. Of course I have quite a few projects for all of our vehicles that I want to get done. It is impossible when it is freezing and the winds are howling.

I don't mind winter so much as far as not driving the vette. We have four seasons here and it actually works if we let it. Can't drive the vette in the winter much but it is a great time to do all those things I want. Repairs if I need to, interior updates. Tinkering with stuff.

The when spring gets here it's a new love every year like it's the first time. Always reminds me of Foreigner. Feels like the First Time.
