Not here, I still have 3 feet of snow to melt before I can back the Vette out. Probably another month, its been a very hard winter..

It'll be a couple of months before I get the Vette out to Italy and start tearing apart Europe. I can't wait.

I'm still waiting for this to come through



We have so much dirt & salt on the road from psychotic snowplow drivers who felt the sight of plain pavement in the winter time was a sign of the next coming of Hell!!!

The toy box has 2 front overhead doors and 2 rear overhead doors, the center being drive thru. The Vette is in the back bay ( not drive thru). We had so much snow, I quit plowing the back of the shop. The front is open down to dirt, I have already had my old iron out. But the Vette is trapped until the snow melts and the ground firms up.

Ah, springtime in Toledo...I remember it fondly (well, OK, springtime in Walbridge, which is pretty close).

But you know, I still kind of prefer springtime in Norcal. It lasts a long time. Started in February or so. And still going.

Nothing says spring like a cruise down scenic Front Street.

Scenic is one way to describe East Toledo.

It's been Spring here for weeks. That's why I moved to Tennessee! Got tired of shoveling 3 feet of snow out of my driveway.

It's almost spring here:



It's actually been halfways decent for a couple weeks now, though they are forecasting some slushy junk the next day or two. But I think I should be able to put the snowblower away.
