That should be good for winter. I want to get my 75 on the road for the rest of winter. Need to do some stuff though and I really hate working in the cold.

I know what you mean about that. Had to put on a starter one winter. Had to do it in a barn.

I did a fuel pump on an old chevy I had in the parking lot at work one winter. It was in the -30's. My hands were some cold.

I removed my engine from my VW transporter, rebuilt it and painted the tin in a leanto made from a tarp . All this the end of December back several years ago.

Not a lot of fun working in the cold.

No, it seems to hurt more when you skin your knuckles.

I did that on a forklift fork a while back. Shins are a bad spot to wack. I think it hurt all the way up to my elbow.

The only ones that heard me when I hit the trailer hitch was the cows and horses and possibly a dog or 6

Sometimes ya gotta look around to see if there was anybody in earshot. Sometimes I think oh geeze I wonder if any of the neighbors heard that.

Ya it can be. I have to watch myself sometimes. For some reason it can get pretty foul when I'm under a truck in the yard.
