Last year we had a beautiful October and into November a few weeks. Maybe we will get lucky again. Once the snow stays and the salt comes out, the DRM 95 goes nigh night for the winter.

I'm in nw iowa and don't even want to think about putting the baby away yet. Heck we've got the Cruise to the Woods next sunday oct 3rd and the ONLY way I won't make it is if I'm still in the fields, so maybe I'll pray for a little rain sat night

Weather here is cooling off and getting wet again(Seattle)..
Pretty mild winters here on the western side of the Cascade range.
Gonna' keep the insurance on Old Blue for, hopefully, one last blast over the Pass and down into eastern Wa for last ride of the year.

You wouldn't recognize Ft. Sam now. They have been doing so much construction it's unbelievable. They have completely redone the Walters Street entrance and made it really nice. They are putting up a couple of multi-level parking garages and of course, they built The Center for the Intrepid, a $50 Million dollar rehabilitation center.

Well, I can't resist. It's always summer here in Beyond Honolulu. I can cruise about with the top off year-round. Besides, I just recharged my freon for those hot November/December days.

and i hate when...
Haven't put mine up yet. I am waiting on the first ice then salt on the roadways, then she goes into hibernation until around the first of April. I will sometimes get her out in March and head to the Corvette Expo in Tennessee, but that depends on the conditions here. Yeah Friz even living in Ohio they have to be put for awhile..

With no A/C its just starting to get nice down here. Like said before, if we can get rid of this pesky tropical depression that is.
I know living up north is an accident of birth but Dammit Jim how the hello do yall do it? I lived in upstate NY and Ohio as a kid but corrected that. Snow is something you go visit not live in!!

I even heard on the news some guy from California complaining about the heat. Just remember, everything is relative. In Baghdad this summer it got to 138 degrees on a REGULAR BASIS. ......and before some weenie says, "It's a dry heat.", let me tell ya', humidity can get to 50 or 60% with no trouble. It's easy to drink two gallons of water a day and not be able to pee from dehydration. I talked to truck driver that did some time down in Kuwait. How about 157 with 70% humidity? He put it a good way, he told me, "If owned hell and Kuwait, I'd live in hell and rent Kuwait out." ...brother, that's hot!
Still think it's hot in southern California?

When I was able I left Ohio and moved to St. Pete, Fla. Didn't stay in St. Pete that long due to a job offer in Maryland in '73 and I'm still here.
Winters are usually driveable except with ones like last year., 50+ inches of snow put a hurt on everything with 4 wheels. My '93 coupe had 263+ K miles on the ODO when it left last month and it saw many winters both mild and not. The '92 is going to get a taste of what it's like to be an "All Weather" vehicle. It's had a sheltered life previously with only 38K on the ODO but that too will change.

Man that would be hard to put away the vette for the winter. I can at least drive mine some through out the winter depending on what the winter is like. After a few weeks of the car sitting I start to get the shakes and get a little edgy.

Unless you go through that it's even hard to imagine what that would be like. My deep appreciation to those that living through that day after day.
