Default Mosquitos !!!

Here it is, the first part of Feb and I'm out in the garage working on the Z getting it ready for the Houston Corvette Expo this weekend, and i"m getting eaten by MOSQUITOS. While all you northern guys have been in a deep freeze, we have been getting pounded with the rain and just warmed up. now the critters are out and they are hungry.
i think i'll take the skeeters over the frozen tundra.

Always walk backwards when peeing in these temperatures and remember to break off with a sudden twist at the end.

No problem, man. Heck, I grew up in PA, and I learned to write my name (peeing) in the snow when I was 5 or 6. Girls were always impressed, even until today. Frankly, I think many of the girls were just envious that none of them could (would???) do the same. I offered to coach them, but....
