I'm from Minnesota, I feel you. I hope you have a car cover on it, or that snow is going to DESTROY that fiberglass. You might get it out during the spring, but you are going to have to do a lot of stuff before you can drive it. Gas is shot, tires are dry and flat. Your wheels might even be damaged.

Good luck!

Ha! Sweetsie, I vote for you moving in with the canine. At least the snow is a rare occasion there, sent by you! Oh, it was 73 degrees yesterday, and it's supposed to be in the 70's today. Top down cruising weather here. Sucks to be you.

There's a picture in the opening post. There's a car in the garage with a cover on it.

..and, he's not only FROM Canada, he's still there. This ain't his first rodeo.

I own 6 Corvettes....and have not been without at least one Vette since the late 1960's...

I can tell you that I store the cars every Thanksgiving day for the winter....

BUT on April Fools day I open the garage doors and they ALL come out ..NO MATTER what the weather is like...

My wife calls me a Turkey and a Fool ....not sure about the Turkey part but I do enjoy the Fool part...


21 more days ... To Go....
kind of reminds me of the feeling of FINALLY being "short" when I was in the Military....

Well, there will be ground rules. No coming in at 3 AM reeking of spoiled fish after a night of garbage prowling. No baying at the moon for hours on end. No fighting with the neighbors cats unless I can join in. NO spraying on the walls. And if you hawk up a hairball in the living room, you will be sleeping with it. Deal??

Who in their right mind could refuse an offer like that?

Wednesday and Thursday it rained all day. I was thinking, "Wash all the salt off the roads so I can go for a ride. Thursday night they said "a little snow" on Friday. I was praying, "NO SALT TRUCKS!" Friday morning---here comes a salt truck.

Change in plans: Wash and wax car in driveway today. Supposed to be 50 degrees.


BTW---From what I could see, I don't think he could even safely put a ladder up. Better wait 'til summer.

Don't blame the lights. You've been crazy since before they were invented.

Sweetsie, if you had your way, Bobsy would be demoted to meter maid.
