Default The Snow Is Horizontal

Lord Jesus in Heaven above, they called it right.
SE Wisconsin is getting hammered.
It's that thick heavy wet stuff, too.
I could barely open the door to go outside.
Visibility, what's that?
That old north wind is howling...



Fresh gas for the Ariens, $5.
(bought it yesterday....
you don't know what an Ariens is?)


Knowing your Corvette is tucked away in a heated hangar for the winter, priceless.

Yeah, I assume you'll be sending that our way in due course. Yesterday we broke a high temp record that had stood since 1881. You know we're going to pay for that one...

I have a show to do on Sunday for Toys for Tots, and they say it will be colder then today. We are expecting a high of only 75 degrees and cloudy the day of the car show. I guess we will have to suffer through it for the kids.

Hey Arnie

Ya, my wife thinks I'm nuts. The car sits on the "carpeted" side of the garage, covered & all tucked in. I stop a few times a week to ask her how she is doing (the car that is) Actually, I'm an **** freak with all my cars but really bad with the Vette.

Nice looking car you have there ! I'll be running through southern WI in the spring for a dyno tune (just did gears,T/C & trans cooler in October) Mybe I could stop & say hi..

Best;

Pat
