Default We should have gotten a pool going....

...on how many "Hey I finally got my vette out of storage and took her for a spin today" threads that will crop up. But to be fair it should have been limited to those of us that actually need to put the cars away for the winter. I can just imagine the lil wheels in Frizl's head spinning as he thinks about poor Sweet and that first nice day out

- both the dog and the cat have sand problems!

No such issues here today - above 50, bright sunshine, roads are dry. I was thinking as I was driving it "Damn, I've missed this!"

Hmmmm.....we could do some cruisin' this weekend. I'm thinkin' Cloudcroft if everyone is up for it. There could still be snow on the ground up in the upper elevations, but the roads will be dry.
