Went for a drive today.
 
Been a relatively low snow and warmish winter so far. Rain has washed all the crap off the roads.

Today it got to 39 degrees. I went for an hour drive.

May make a run around the lake tomorrow.

Mikiec, a few of us also took a nice drive south today. I was tempted to take off my long sleeved tee shirt and just go with a polo. Fortunately, I didn't, since some heavy clouds that dropped the temps down to the mid 60°s.

mikiec 01-31-2016 09:20 PM

There are days in the summer it does not get into the mid 60's


I do miss the nice WARM weather.

Mike,
I was up in Kalispell, Montana at New Years and didn't see the sun for a week. That's hard to live in. I hope your weather's better.

So far it has not been that bad. The sunny days out number the cloudy ones. The summer kinda sucks for driving as it rains a lot. Weather say a good day coming and I get the Cobra ready and then it rains in the AM. Scratch that day.

Since I have been here I have only gotten in maybe 2500 miles. A far cry from my driving back in AZ.

Mikie, I used to :CRY: every winter until 2009, then I did something about it!:LOL:

So, you know who wears the pants in my family!:p

Ralphie, the boss!:eek: (Until my wife reads this!:eek:)

Ralph,

I wear the pants in the family. It's the one that wears the skirt I have to watch out for.

Mikiec,

I live in northern VT, needless to say the roads are not free of salt until May which means I still have a while to wait. As the winter progresses I go out to the garage more and more often just to look at the Slabside.

John,

I understand. Do you sit in it and make vroom noises?


Mikiec

desgros@vtlink. 02-07-2016 02:45 PM

No but am very tempted to start the motor.

If this warm weather continues I may do just that.

Karl Bebout 02-07-2016 07:05 PM

Got up to 80° this afternoon so a nice ride, in short sleeves was called for.

DrDuc 02-07-2016 07:15 PM

Drove up to Cave Creek and the weather was MARVELOUS!:cool:

mikiec 02-07-2016 08:51 PM

If you guys want to drive out and help shovel the snow, I'll buy the Cerveza.

I'm thinking my first trip (who knows when) will be to see Nick Acton. Just the thought of that helps the winter go away.

I just spoke with and his wife. They were here for the BJ auctions. Marvelous couple. You'll enjoy the convesation.

desgros@vtlink. 02-09-2016 05:24 AM

Dan,

Yes, very good people and outstanding to do business with.

I have been to Barrett-Jackson several times in Scottsdale and will be attending their auction in CT this June.

The temperature here has been 80° the last two days but it is supposed to start clouding up tomorrow and be overcast and down to 74° Friday.

I am thinking about going to see Nick when the weather gets more spring like.

I'll let you know.
