That's not hot. That's starting to get close to T shirt weather, but you should probably wear a long sleeve shirt or bring one along in case the wind blows a little.

We have sun in Texas too Glenn. We even have humidity you get to add onto the sunshine. I'll take 100° over 50° any day of the week. Even with some humidity.

The Hill Country has been very not what it normally is. Gray, 34* all day, blowing drizzle, and just COLD. No fun when you work outside.

What's up fellas? It's been chilly here as well. 0* (F) here this morning and going to be colder than that tonight. Furnace runs a bit more and I toss another log on the fire in the stove, but that's about it.

Spent a couple hours out in the garage working on the new Cheep today. Put a CKP in it and got it running reliably now, so I'll toss a few more things on it and put it on the road, I think. I may drive it for a couple months and flip it to make some cash, but I won't do that until the roads are clean and clear again. I'm not driving my truck on these salt-covered roads if there's any way I can avoid it. I sure wish there was something I spray on the truck that would make me feel better about using it in this crap, but I haven't found anything yet, and I'll be doggone if I'm gonna give it cancer driving in the salt. So it'll see emergency use only and I'll maintain a second car as a dd. This $800 Jeep should work for a while.

50/50 mix of ATF and diesel fuel in a garden sprayer. It's not as messy as you think.
