Default Had to do it

I was re-doing my kitchen and needed the garage space to refinish the cabinets. The MY had to be taken off the ramps and then backed out.

At about that time I realized that the weather is going to be great (almost 60s) for a few days so I decided to go for a spin. Well the kitchen is not done yet, but I feel I accomplished something even if it was just zipping around town.

Maybe tomorrow I will get it done - nope wait another 60 degree day....

Glad to hold off winter, but I really have to get my sink back decisions decisions decisions.....

Seems like winters aren't that bad around here lately. A few cold blasts, a little snow but mostly mild temps

Last year was bad. It was so cold the River Froze over so I could not take the Ferry in NYC which leaves the crappy bus or train for my transporation.

Luckily I found a few guys to drive with and split the expenses.

been driving mine for 3 days. winters have been mild in my opinion but there hasnt been much of spring and fall. seems like extreme temperature differences. summers have been mild and not really hot like i remember when i was growing up. every couple years we get a few good snow storms but mostly little annoying ice/snow crap.

You all suck.

My car is 220miles away from me sitting all purty in a garage, and I have at least another 2 weeks before I can see her again.

Since I turned in my daily driver, I'm driving around in a borrowed green ford taurus with a busted cigarette lighter (no radar detector or gps).
